Miscellaneous mishmash

[icepixie]

I could only gasp in happy surprise and melancholy when, looking out from the top of a hill, I saw over a stand of pine trees the bowl of a pale blue sky, draped softly in wispy clouds, and for just a moment, was standing outside Peirce on an icy mid-February afternoon in Gambier.

I finally made quesadillas tonight, and OMG, yum. Need to make more of those immediately. Well, after I finish the three I have put in the freezer. Er, yes. I used corn tortillas instead of flour ones, which I think was a good change. Also, no tomatoes in the filling, just beef, refried beans, taco spice, and cheese. Then sauteed in olive oil. Mmmmm.

Also on the food front, TESCO HAS TIM TAMS!!! If you've ever had these paragons of the cookie world, you'll know why I'm screaming and bouncing in ecstasy. If you haven't, find a way to get your hands on some, because they're the best cookies ever. I thought they were only in Australia, but no, they're in England, too. Mmmmmmmmmm.

London trip report's gonna depend on how much I want to procrastinate tonight. I think we're all still catching up on work. But if not tonight, definitely tomorrow. I've already resized and uploaded the pictures.

Last but most definitely not least, spockette is 18 today! Eeeeee! *throws lots of confetti* *hugs twin* Happy birthday, Kim!

YES!! Tim Tams ROCK!! I get mine from Australia. I didn't know they were there too. LOVE the new Tia Maria ones, the double chocolate ones and the ones with caramel. GUH!

Tia Maria ones? Caramel? Man, I need to explore more...Tesco only has the original ones. Which are still amazing, but I think I need to try the other varieties, too. I got my first and, till now, only box from Australia as well, thanks to a friend, and I've been wanting some more for about two years now.

I'm gonna be so broke and so fat by the end of the year, and it's all because of these tasty cookies and candies in this country...

Here's a good place to get them and I've ordered from this place often. Some REALLY great candy here too.

Funny how I don't miss Knoxville nearly as much as I miss Gambier...

Same here. I can't believe how much I miss Kenyon. I suppose it's because I've had twenty years in Nashville, but only two in Gambier, and only one remaining. Also, most of Nashville isn't nearly as beautiful as Gambier.

Man, I'm gettin' all weepy now...

Tim Tams! I too was introduced to them in Australia, and brought a few boxes back... but they're long gone now. Wah.

Tim Tams need to make it over to the US pronto.
