Sick Again ... ergh!

[aunt_zelda]

Well, wouldn't you know it, I threw up AGAIN. Note to self: don't eat biscuits with raspberry-rhubarb jam EVER AGAIN!
But hot showers are nice, and now I'm going to get my relations addicted to Doctor Who because
Torchwood is coming to BBC America this Saturday!
I missed most of the Doctor Who marathon on BBC America today because I held a yard sale that went ok but could have raked in a bit more cash ... but it was ok ... I scrounged a bunch of funny books by gay comedians from the boxes and a copy of Wuthering Heights so it was ok ...
But now I feel all queesy ... ergh!
I also had a conversation today that's probably been hosted a million times before - The Cookies To Biscuits To Crumpets To Muffins Conversation.
I think I figured it out .... I hope ....

Yes, biscuit = cookies, but it's a long discussion that goes down the 'what do they call OUR biscuits?' and such ...

I'm not sure they HAVE muffins ... they're GOT TO, though, right? Who doesn't have muffins ...

*giggles* I actually quite like the English on the whole. Their swear words are the coolest in the world ...

biscuit n cookie. Nothing like an American biscuit, which is a soft, flakey savoury pastry eaten with gravy or butter.
crumpet n. 1. A small teacake. A contributor tells me that they are made of pancake batter, but with raising agents added so that you get all the holes in them. Someone else tells me they're baked on a griddle. I've no idea what a griddle is.

a griddle is like a hot flat frying pan..it's usually long and square and flat..

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

No, no I DO know what a griddle is! The person whose definition I coppied doesn't ... I certainly know what a griddle is ... *shakes head* But it was a nice explanation!
