Oh god. I have no idea how I am going to manage this. I have rediscovered M&S bakery biscuits. They are Big. Soft. Cookies. Sweet and chewy with big chunks of belgian chocolate spread right through there sticky flat planetary beings. They make me feel a bit funny in my pants. They are 5 for £1. I am in so much trouble.
What’s your foody kryptonite?
Watts once said: any attempt to define oneself is like 'trying to bite ones own teeth'. Anyway. I am an ENTP, a Four, a Libran and a Water Ox; scatterbrained, organised, coulrophobic, messy, hopeful, sarcastic, optimistic, romantic.
I ♡ freshly ground black coffee, travelling on trains, white roses, hugs, finishing crosswords, steak medium-rare, a well-turned phrase, big-brained scientists, the departure lounge, my homemade marmalade on toasted crumpets, hand-written letters, the possibility of aliens, the possibility of god, remote New Zealand beaches, jazz trumpets, the colour red, rom-coms, the information superhighway, organic shapes, the poetry of ee cummings, the Bach cello suites of Yo-Yo Ma, ad-free content, picnics, pay day, and a good night's sleep.
I live London with the techie beekeeping paramour (ash) and the furs (rex & badger).

Ha! Welcome to Blighty and M&S!
M&S goodies … awe man … I remember those tubs of chocolate roll things that they sell (called something like “Extremely chocolatey mini bites”). When things were going shitty at work, I used to buy a tub (or two), make everyone in my team a steaming hot cup of tea, and we’d kick back in our chairs and get high on those things. Ahhh yeah!My other long-lost friend is the brick-sized almond and vanilla biscotti sold at Starbucks in London. NZ Starbucks’ biscotti is like cardboard in comparison. I’m almost tempted to save up to come over and fill a suitcase (or two) to bring home.
there their theyre
nom!We can not have ice cream in the house or I will eat it all.
That cookie sure does look like something special though not quite the same level of special as it is to you obviously. My food thing is bread – a good fresh loaf of ciabatta or focaccia with a big bowl of hummous and no one watching. Hmmmmm …actually that makes me feel a bit funny in MY pants :-)
I am addicted to a pie they sell in supermarkets here. I get one a week and make it last. It is an Edward’s Hershey’s Chocolate Creme Pie. Yummy.Your cookies look delicious!
I just rediscovered an old favorite ice cream flavour the other week. Not a wise move for healthy eating. From now on when in the supermarket thinking “Oh, I haven’t had these in a long time, wonder if they are still as good?” just walk away from that shelf.
Oh yummy!!!!!!!!!!
