Thanks all for your supportive comments. One thing I can say about my brain is, out of sight out of mind. Others may say that this is compartmentalizing, wow, big word . . . anyways, I will have to think on everything, and as time goes on, perhaps I will find my way around.
But anyways, I made my way to Tesco tonight and had the very un-Ingrid-like craving for Mexican, or a semblance of Mexican. So, I bought some beef mince (aka ground beef), there was actually taco seasoning, I did not go for the “Mexican kits” they had on the shelves. Got some lettuce, tomatoes, tortilla wraps, or more so deli wraps so I can use it for lunch sandwiches. I found some salsa and sour(ed) cream. I forgot the cheese, but that’s ok.
While walking down the crisp aisle, I found some tortilla chips, (tangent) I was thinking I could have some nachos with the left overs. Anyways, while I was making my way down the aisle, I was looking at the crisps, and saw all these different types. Bacon crisps? There was actually prawn flavored, I wonder if it taste like the Chinese prawn crackers? Hmm, will need to try that next time. What I ended up getting was the steak and onion flavored crisps. I thought it might have a touch of BBQ flavored, what it was is not steak and I do not taste the onions. It’s not a beefy flavor, more so a steak sauce flavor, but it’s not very strong, but you can taste something. Not my favorite, but doable if I am starving. I am going to see if I can give it away at work. I am sure some one will take it if I leave it in the canteen with an “enjoy” note.
I mentioned crumpets, what I need to do is remember to take a picture of these things so you all can see what I am eating, since at times my descriptions can be somewhat convoluted. Anyways, I will buy some later on and I will try to remember to take some pictures of the food, like Yorkshire pudding. I also noticed some melons that I have not seen before, and there is no honeydew here. Too bad, I like that better than cantaloupe.
So, as I am writing this, there is this commerical for a drink, Oasis, where I think it’s like Gatorade. I do not understand the commercial, but here it is. A teenager girl is narrating and she is telling her mother that she is dating cactus boy, and the camera turns to this guy who looks like a cactus, green with the needles sticking out of him wearing a white wife beater T and jeans holding a bottle of Oasis. She is telling her mother now that she is pregnant and the mother tells her that the boy is bad and throws them out of the house. The couple is driving away and the girl says, “Now I am sure my mother know why the bottoms of my feet was sunburned.” I have no clue what that means. What does all this have to do with the drink???? {sigh}
Anyways, 533 words later, I am done for tonight.
See why I don’t have a TV?
