Night Cis ๐
Added 2020-08-19 16:48:37 +0000 UTCCis - enjoying the solid, virtuous sleep of a successful day and a job well done ๐
This was very much my mood upon both falling asleep and waking. Yesterday, our little crew headed over to St Andrews - a lovely university town (which claims to be a city ๐) to check out the crumbling ruins of the cathedral and make an urgent raiding trip on the bookshops ๐ We were lucky to have some local knowledge with us on the trip... a lovely lady whoโd studied in St Andrews some years ago. It quickly emerged that her student days had mainly been spent taking drugs, however, so the majority of the local knowledge proved to be the various squats sheโd lived in and where the mushroom dealers used to operate. She had been the Student Union President ๐
Afterwards is where I earned my good nightโs rest. It was my night to cook - and because itโs been a while since Iโve cooked for a larger group I was a little nervous. Fortunately all went well... following a struggle with an unfamiliar cooker, anyway ๐ I went simple - fusilli with a bacon, mushroom, onion and cream sauce - and it had a fine reception! ๐ I then comprehensively won a game of Scrabble and retired to bed feeling very good about myself... Itโs funny how pleasing and affirming such quotidian things can be. ๐
Anyway. another sleep pic tomorrow - Iโm already pretty certain which character it will be, since I wrote this post rather later than usual! You can probably guess too... since there are only 2 to go ๐

2020-08-21 20:24:14 +0000 UTCI'm sure you are going to be the champion of the evening with your dessert. Good luck and enjoy!

2020-08-20 23:46:04 +0000 UTCAh! I do love peanut butter and chocolate together (although Iโm not sure my waistline does ๐) Last time I was in the US I became addicted to Reeses Pieces. Good idea! Itโs someone elseโs turn to make dinner tonight, but I shall step in at the end like a dessert hero ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ

2020-08-20 13:39:00 +0000 UTCThe UK is very much a land of crumbling cathedrals and ruined monasteries - theres actually a very intense and spectral beauty about them... grass replacing the flagstones where congregations once knelt and the gravity defying bones of spires that once aspired to touch Heaven... as Ozzy might have said โlook upon my works, ye Mighty, and Despair!โ

2020-08-20 13:29:55 +0000 UTC๐ I now regret not getting into the SU stuff... seems like you guys were having more fun than I thought!

2020-08-20 13:29:38 +0000 UTCSo I have the perfect dessert that you can make for your holiday gang. When I lived in Burntisland, I made this for the local cafe chef and she absolutely loved it. She started making it for the cafe, and it sold like crazy. She called them "Yankee Bars." They basically are peanut butter and chocolate desert bars.

Somehow I think on my night to cook I would just abandon the exercise if I didn't have access to to a YouTube recipe, examine the local eateries, order what seems close enough to home cooking, serve it up and say...close enough.

2020-08-19 17:52:53 +0000 UTCYes, I guessed correctly again!! I figured that Anna and Sam would follow each other and be towards the end, but Cis was the wild card I couldn't decide on. I figured she would either be at the very end by virtue of her differing status from the others, or right before Anna/Sam. In the end I went with before, and I continue to be correct :P No, I don't know why I'm taking this seriously, I'm probably just really bored lol
