Stephen & Elisabeth in England
Saturday, 12 March 2005
Rosie O' Grady Went to Town
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Nothing
Topic: Elisabeth's Entries
Top o' the mornin to yuz all!

Yesterday we went into town riding on a pony and did some grocery shopping. We also rented some DVDS:

HEAD OF STATE (Chris Rock)
STRAW DOGS (Dustin Hoffman)
ZATOICHI (I don't know--it's Japanese)

If you want to find more about this selection, please visit: www.imdb.com

For dinner I made steamed cauliflower, brussel spouts & leaks with a Red Lentil Bolognaise sauce. It was extremely filling, but too healthy. So we made a meringue cake together. It involves three 8" discs of meringue sandwiched together with a fresh raspberry creme fraiche icing. Fresh raspberries to decorate. In fact, here's a picture:




And this is the picture that Stephen would prefer that I use:




The difference being the "flying dead monkey" of course.

Well we feasted last night and watched "head of state" which I enjoyed, but Stephen thinks pales in comparison to Bullworth. But I think Chris Rock has balls to make a funny entertaining movie about US Politics in the year of Bush's re-election. It's old-school comedy, with a new millennium edge.

Right, we've had our potatoes & egg breakfast will be making big Pan Bagna baguette sandwiches to take with us to Guildford, where we hope to do something new...and yes, we're taking the camera.

CONTEST: There are still 3 jars of Whiskey Marmalade to win (yes yes Sean & Jenn, you're prizes are still on their way ...)

QUESTION: What is a chav?

Until next time...over and out Roger.

Pan Bagnaaaaaaaaa!!! AAAGH yum.
That cake also looks delicious.

And now, to win my second jar of marmalade, "chav" is roughly equivalent to "trailer" or "white trash". It can also be used of someone who came from "trash" but now has money, but doesn't know enough to steer clear of Burberry check, because, of course, Burberry check is teh gauche.

It's a very offensive term, and I hope you don't use it! www.chavscum.com - and lest you think I googled that, no. I didn't. I'm a fount of Britglish info, thanks to the transatlantic friends' list I've got on my journal.

And why, may I ask, has no one yet responded to my glorious and unbelievably correct response to the trivia question???

Whoops! Sorry, Jen. We saw it & talked about it but, um, you're totally wrong! Chav = a resident of Woking. Ha ha, just joking. Right, well you cheated but then again, I defined it a couple of weeks ago in the message boards so whatever. Look, the marmalade's here but it's Elisabeth's job to mail the suckers and she's really busy right now - today's her second day in London doing work-related stuff. So don't blame me! By the way, chavtowns.com or whatever it is is great. Woking's the star. Elisabeth did a link for it a few weeks ago. Whee! No coffee, no glasses and look at me, I can type! Must go now.
