I may be going to London on business later this year -- I wonder if I could expense an £85 sandwich?

[eta: £85 sandwich, in greater detail:]

The slices of 24-hour fermented sour dough bread are spread with a mayonnaise flavoured with foie gras (£30 a lb) and black truffle (£340 a lb). There is a generous helping of brie de meaux, considered Europe's finest cheese.

The beef itself, comprising a third of the weight of the sandwich, is a snip at £28 a pound. The meat is seared in a pan on both sides for two minutes and then basted with yet more foie gras before being chilled for 15 minutes and sliced.

English cherry tomatoes and rocket, plus peppers roasted on a naked flame and then skinned and sliced finely, complete the presentation.

The reason why my department doesn't process your requests in a timely fashion is because you keep misspelling our department e-mail address.

Dear Mysterious and Terrifying Tech Goddess,

Spelling is hard. Are you really going to make the Sun go away on Friday?

Sincerely,
Og, Frightened and Simpering Peon

it'd have to be when my sugar daddy is footing the bill.

You have a sugar daddy?

Jaysus. Someone buy me that sandwich, will you?

A girl can dream...

What gets me is that muffin-top seems to be a "look" right now.

Umm you know a cute little belly sticking out over jeans does not neccesarily look bad on a woman. I mean to a guy. Maybe I just have very weird tast; but on a good looking woman a small muffin top can be sexy. Should I post this? Oh hell, y'all already knew I was strange.

How much do you have to spend on your food before it has a presentation?

I wish I were big.

You're still big, bon. It's the pictures that got smaller.

I think the main component of the muffin topness is the poking out over the sides. But I have not conferred on that.

I have a friction burn on my left elbow from krav yesterday. Somehow it irritates me more than the new bruises.

In IM with my sister I realised that I have seven pairs of black boots, and almost bought another pair this past weekend. She asked if they all looked the same, and really, they don't. They all have valid reasons for existing in my closet. As do the white, blue/grey, and brown ones.

I'm not sure precisely when I became a boot whore.

Gar, I think the muffin top is more when the "waist" band of lowrise pants is too tight around the hips and hits the hips at just the wrong spot--leaving hip padding overflowing the top of the pants, on either side. It's not that cute little belly thing.

edit...

Or what ita said.

Are you really going to make the Sun go away on Friday?

Dear Og,

Have you tried rebooting?

Sincerely,

P.S. A flashlight is advised.
