So, nothing new today. I drove to Wolverhampton, and the most interesting things that happened was that 1) I did not get lost 2) I was in the correct lane for all round abouts and 3) no traffic. Can you believe that? No traffic. We are talking about a motorway which all these lorries and no accidents. Wow. See, how boring my life can be when I revert to chatting about the traffic?
So, I was roaming around Tesco, yet again. And was trying to figure out what to have for dinner. While I was wondering up and down the aisles, I was thinking all the food I have already eaten: British beef and lamb – stir fried, stewed and roasted, Irish lamb – stir fried, stewed and roasted, Scottish beef – stir fried, stewed and roasted, beef mince, pasties, sea bass, salmon, chicken – stir fried, roasted, breaded, boiled and deep fried, sausages, bacon – streaky and round, cereals (I know that sounds weird, but over here there are different kinds of cereals I did not see in the US, I do miss the fruity ones, over here I have stuck to frosted flakes). All different kinds of chocolate, cookies or biscuits, I even tried the waffles and pancakes. Yes, pancakes. There are in these packets and I put them in the toaster.
I have yet to try the different kinds of crisps. There are salt and vinegar, sour cream, bbq, prawn flavored, chili something like 4 different kinds, bacon, malt vinegar, and a bunch of other stuff. Then there are Hula Hoops, no clue how that taste like, but Cousin Stephen likes them. Not a lot of people eat popcorn I am guessing since I have only seen 8 boxes on the shelf.
So, again, up and down the aisles I go. I ended up with oxtail and diced beef, and I bought a bunch of chicken kievs, and some veggies. I have been eating more potatoes, and sometimes to mix it up, I buy some sweet potatoes or yams, not sure which one. They are suppose to be better for you, so I mash it up with some regular ones and they are not so bad.
{sigh} So, that’s about it. I received a package the Z family sent me, so I have a bunch of mail I need to go through.
Beth has decided to visit me for a whole month. Yea. She will be here in November, so there is some time before she gets here. She is already decided, I am getting there, waiting for the time to be closer before I plan things.
Have a nice weekend all.
Ingrid, you have no idea how happy I am about coming. Paris for my birthday! Or Paris for Thanksgiving! My life will be complete!

Hi CC Ingrid,
Daddy calls the whole family a different kind of potato. I for one is Sweet Potato and he says that I am also a yam so he says they are the same. One time mommy made Sweet potatos for breakfast. She cut them thin as a coin and put them in the pan and then put a little sugar on them and they were good. You could try it and you know that it wasn’t even daddy’s idea! Iron Chef mommy beat him!
Bye!
