this is a motley sort of list ...

from a few of you by now:  'TOP 50 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD TRY A BITE OF IN THEIR HIS OR HER LIFETIME' -- okay, sure :-) -- bold the ones you've eaten, italicize the ones you didn't like.

( what is it we dream about? what brings on a sigh? )

i mean to say, 'tapas' and 'greek food' and 'chinese food' and 'mexican food' and 'thai food' and 'sandwiches', for god's sake, but no catchall for 'seafood' -- you have to list all the critters separately?  BAH, say i.  but, whatever ...

kids.

have just come from watching an early (possibly pilot?) episode of jonathan creek chez foulds, joined by sebastienne, her two college children, whose LJ handles i don't know, and (thank god, another postgrad) cannons_at_dawn, as well as three bottles of cheap but apparently decent white wine.  also anariel_di_gaia came along toward the end of the show, with a full bottle of vodka.

and how is it that i didn't drink a drop, and i still suspect i'll have a hangover in the morning?  ah well, at least i've managed to clean the chocolate off my face ...
