The salty/sweet combo is yummmmmmmy!

Re: Oreos: the POINT of eating Oreos is to dunk them in milk (PLAIN milk!) until they are so soggy you have to dig them out with a spoon. Deposit in mouth. Consume entire box. Repeat.

For me, it's the combination of salty and sweet foods! Not to mention the textures.. crunchy/chewy with sticky/runny?

I'm as English as you like, but when I was five years old and went to the US for the first time, pancakes'n'maplesyrup'n'bacon was a tastebud revelation. Mmmmmmm. But then, I'm very partial to that salt/sweet thing. It's what I love about Digestive biscuits. It's a yin/yang flavour whammy.

Also the crunchy/gooey dichotomy - makes me a happy bunny. Thus Haagen Dazs Pralines'n'Cream remains my favourite, despite the loveliness of many other flavours, because it weds salt with sweet and gooey with crunchy in a fashion that makes me very, very happy.

....Mmmmmmm

Hi Fay! I haven't seen you around in a while.

Oh my wrod.

Mmmmmmmmmmh.

Have just seen "Beneath Me". I can't quite articulate why, but I was absolutely bawling at the end. Brilliant stuff.

Oops! Do I have to stay out of this thread now for the next t checks clock two hours? I don't know the unAmerican rules, sorry!

(And ooh, I'm so glad it's a good one. The reports of this season so far have been glowing, and I'm SO excited to be finally getting to see it!)

Kate, to be honest, I don't think that's ever come up in this thread before...well, come to think of it, we've never had anyone posting from Perth! So we haven't actually worked out the rules, but I'll just shut up about the ep for the next couple of hours.

My good friend Gary is friends with the woman with the dog in that episode. I assured him that she was not only good, but got quite a bit of play for a small role.

Well, it's not as though it's such a hardship for me to stay out, either, if someone else shows up and wants to discuss it now--it'll be pretty late for you when I finish watching, and I know that feeling of wanting to talk about it now! So, no worries if that's what happens. I was going to say, maybe you could whitefont, but then realized that it's silly to establish rules for this kind of thing when this is likely to be the last this situation ever occurs.

I'd quite like to discussing episodes here, but since I've been waiting weeks already, two hours or even a couple of days isn't going to make a lot of difference to me.
