Jeez - I'm scared just looking at your bike Kitsune.


I don't know why it is that the loudest most objectionable amercans seem to wash up on foreign shores. I had a real eye opener after visiting the USA having been subjected to american tourists in Scotland. I couldn't believe how polite and helpful people were stateside.
As for Scots - just because we don't smile, it desn't mean we're not pleased to see you....we're just kind of understated.

Fish your kids are sooooo cute.

Fish, the kids are so cute you could bottle and sell it!!! I'll bet the little guy really misses her. Ah, change. If you get the bee job, when would you move?

If you want to meet some seriously polite Americans, go to Salt Lake City, Utah. Almost creepy to someone from Chicago. They are nice, nice, nice. Worried me a bit.

Kitsune, your bike is very cool! I know you love her.

I just got back from a 30 mile ride, during which I decided I wanted a liver sausage and egg sandwich. I recently found this "low fat" liversausage at the Jewel. I loved liver sausage as a kid--who knows why?! But it's so salty and tasty. One day I saw this Oscar Meyer reduced fat braunsweiger (same thing, to me), and bought it. YUM! So I just boiled some eggs and chopped them up with the remainder of the liver sausage. A little mayo to hold it all together, and some minced onion. Yumolicious. Isaac the cat ate a couple of bites, too. He's a big fan of the liver as a food group.

Lara bars are energy bars, along the lines of Clif bars. They are made of only nuts and dates plus flavorings. Very good, and not overly sweet. CC and I really like the Cocoa Mole. I *think* it's the same people that make Maya bars--all of the flavors are based on chocolate.

Lara bars or Nectar bars? I love Nectar bars. The cranberry almond or whatever it is. I just recognize it when I see it and buy it.

Yeah, I went back and edited that. Nectar bars are made by the Clif bar people. Lara bars are made by the Lara bar people. Whoops!

I love Nectar bars, too.

The Maya bars are good. I really liked the Chocolate Orange one when I first tasted it, so I bought a case when they went on sale. Now, for some reason, they taste like something you'd use to clean a car engine. As I am pretty cheap about somethings, I'll still eat them until they're gone. But I will not enjoy them.

Thanks for the bike comments- I'll probably love that bike forever... can't wait 'til I can put a brooks saddle on her!

Fish- AWWWW!!!! Such cute chillins. I hope FishJr has a good 1st day

Bruno- My exinlaws visited Edinburgh (my spelling's probably horrendous) but stayed in Scotland their entire trip and loved it...

Spelt like a native - but I'd like to hear you pronounce it - you folks just don't get that 'burru' thing.... No not 'Edinboro'. Jings! (- that's Scottish for 'Jeez' btw)

OMG. I just saw that Maya bars make a Chocolate Coffee bar.

I must say that cutting back on the caffeine has helped with the irregular skipped heartbeats. So it's worth it. By next week, I will have cut out caffeinated coffee all together (sniff ). Probably still engage in the occasional diet Coke. I will miss caffeine. I love caffeine. But this feeling of my chest about to collapse on itself is most unpleasant. Decaffeinating does help. I am going for the echocardiogram tomorrow.
