St. Therese of Lisieux is my patron saint.<BR/><BR/>2. I'm not sure why British bathtubs' sides are so high. I can remember being there in the 70s and thinking, there must not be a water shortage.<BR/><BR/>3. I can wear yellow, if it's the right shade and I've had enough sleep.<BR/><BR/>4. I have a Hohner harmonica, too! It was my dad's.<BR/><BR/>5. I'm with you on butter creme frosting, but only if it's fresh, please, and with real butter. That said, I adore whipped cream in some cases. I don't suppose you've had one of those sponge cakes with strawberries and whipped cream from the Phoenix bakery in Chinatown, have you? Might change your mind ...<BR/><BR/>6. I can't dance, but I can sing.<BR/><BR/>7. I prefer even numbers.<BR/><BR/>7. I'm in the So Cal area, too - lifelong resident - but it looks like I'll be moving out of state in a year or two.Author Knownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231946368075733351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-16264172830473175852008-04-23T17:45:00.000+01:002008-04-23T17:45:00.000+01:00Ukok, ;-DUkok, ;-Dgemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-87433210531791798092008-04-23T15:48:00.000+01:002008-04-23T15:48:00.000+01:00We Brits need our bathsides so high because are ba...We Brits need our bathsides so high because are backsides are often so huge....well, mine is....i'm plump....when i get in the bath, in order to have at least some of the water covering my body i need high bathsides....when i stand up, there's actually only about 6 inches of water in the bath.

Scotland, not coincidentally, has the highest heart attack rates in Europe. I have seen Nigella Lawson, on TV, deep-fry Bounty (coconut) bars in tempura batter more or less with a straight face, but I don't deep-fry anything.<BR/><BR/>Re: why our baths are so deep - it makes it so much easier to drown annoying relatives.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955770520790267352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-7989662335189350922008-04-22T17:41:00.000+01:002008-04-22T17:41:00.000+01:00Therese, yikes!!!!

Many have tried, few succeeded.<BR/><BR/>Stephen. Ah-ha. See even you couldnt' tell me why the damn bathtubs are so high over there. Have you seen "Green Card?" :-D<BR/>I sleep on the side closest the door, and I never eat cream of wheat. On the weekend I flipped on some show that was showing the delights of stuff you are not supposed to have. They did restaurants. One of them was called "Chip shop" in Brooklyn, I think. The guy was from the UK and he did some cool concoction with Mars Bars, and he fried up a mean hostess twinkie in chip batter, then split in half and put on some sort of strawberry topping and powdered sugar.

Originally they were only supposed to be for reading/screen work etc, but these days I pretty much can't manage without them.<BR/><BR/>2. I'm not tidy. I am, however, clean. I'll live with a mess, but not with dirt.<BR/><BR/>3. I despise people who push in front in queues in shops and theatres (and if they do it to *me*, I don't let them get away with it. Ever.)<BR/><BR/>4. I actually like using public transportation. Most of the time.<BR/><BR/>5. I have one living grandparent - which, since I'm 35, I think is pretty good going. Unfortunately I also only have one living parent, but you can't have everything.<BR/><BR/>6. I don't want to be where I am at the moment.<BR/><BR/>7. I'm a good cook.<BR/><BR/>Re: frosting, incidentally, the best frosting for chocolate cake - according to my nephew, for whom I made this last week - involves melting Mars bars with a little heavy cream and whisking the resulting gloop until it's smooth.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955770520790267352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-60846866095331913292008-04-22T07:08:00.000+01:002008-04-22T07:08:00.000+01:00Yellow is my colour many people tell me but I am n...Yellow is my colour many people tell me but I am not that fond of it. I do have a yellow jumper that I use to wear a lot. It is too warn now so maybe I will have to sew myself a new one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliment and calling me Marie hee hee.
