Meg‘s doing this new thing where she asks questions and has people answer them in the comments. As imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, let’s give it a go, shall we? Okay, what was your last dream? I’ll go first…

Cholesterol makes you smarter. That is literally the greatest news EVER. Suddenly I’m craving a cheeseburger.

So Prince Charles got slapped in the face with a flower today, right? What kind of a crappy protest was that? You wanna make an impression, you gotta throw a pie. The hilarious part of Chuck’s tale is that apparently the President of Latvia called him up later to apologize for the girl’s actions and…

I’m happy to report that tonight’s experiment – homemade chicken pot pie – landed firmly on the other side of the Delicious-Meter. It was fantastic! Never underestimate what you can do with pre-made pastry. It’s a godsend. So yeah, I haven’t been…

Okay, I’ve been keeping it hush-hush til now but I can remain silent no longer… We’re leaving London two weeks from today! And while I’m mentally ready, I’m soooo physically not. That’s why I’m taking the hard step of of saying: “I will not blog until all my chores are done for the day.” So…
