Ah, lovely. I'll take a bit of that, and...then donate some of my own coffers, which comprises of a gross of bottles of peach soda and several tins of chocolate straws.

That sounds like a diabetic's nightmare, Tilly. lol

you know what I want? Oysters Rockefeller! https://bigoven-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/oysters-rockefeller-01a91c.jpg it's one of the rarest foods.. only one place I found them back in Forest Park Georgia and they closed down.. now I'm in Arkansas even further from the ocean..

Oysters, Clams, Squid and Octopus are not in my diet. You couldn't pay me to eat them. However, I love shrimp and lobster and most fish. Go fig.

I like sthrimp, and crawfish, and the things clams and oysters are usually cooked with, but I don't actually like clams or oysters. Lobster and crab have a faintly sweet taste that I don't enjoy either.

I guess that's what makeseach of us different, food likes, dislikes, allergies among other things. I'm not a fan of tripe and other exotic foods. Just give me a burger and fries. lol

I do love some seared Tuna. Can't go wrong with that. Well, except for mercury poisoning.

Hey all. I will be in Washington DC on the 21st (Saturday) for the Womens March in case any of you will be there.

Unfortunately, being 16 and sans a driver's license (let alone a car) and living in a rather conservative area, I doubt I'll be able to get there unless I can get my paws on some teleportation technology.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't love to, though. *grumbles about Mango Mussolini*

Aww would have been fun to finally meet one of y'all in person. Like I'm meeting another online friend there already as well.

Sorry, Cast. Maybe once I'm older.

Oh man! I totally forgot to send my radio shows to you didn't i?

Yeah, you totally did.

In other news, there is a small protest on-campus. I haven't the energy, socially speaking, to be a part of it, but I did tell them "have a lovely day and hope we all don't [duck]ing die."

Wonder if my area will have any protests about something or riots to watch..

The march in D.C. was awesome! So many people were there.

We are serving shortbread at the embassy to celebrate Burns Night. We were also told to offer haggis and whisky, but we're frankly not that keen on either. There's some in the back if you want it.

I had to google what shortbread was.. I've heard of shortcake but never short bread.. apparently that's a biscuit that we call cookies here..

Biscuits here are usually light and fluffy covered with white gravy. Or the crunchy biscuits made for dogs.. I knew something was called a different name there.. Apparently biscuits here are closer to scone there and this whole cookie thing has been confusing us cause we never heard of shortbread..

The Girl Scouts used to sell them and call them Lorna Doones.

Oh! they have the best cookies. Samoas being the best ones of all! those minty chocolate ones a close second.

I prefer the mint ones and the peanut butter ones
