Top 5 things I saw in America which, as a Canadian, freaked me right out
I just had to quote this one:
#4: A breakfast creation in upstate New York called “Stuffed French Toast”. What does “Stuffed French Toast” entail, you naïve non-American might ask? It’s French Toast (which, keep in mind is cooked in butter) stuffed with bacon, eggs and processed cheese (which they proudly call ‘American processed cheese’, I presume, to distinguish it from real cheese which could, after all, be French and/or offer unAmerican nutritional content). But here’s the kicker: on top of your “Stuffed French Toast” cooked in butter, you will find… a square of butter.
I got a Pottery Barn catalog yesterday and was looking at the monograms they have in the pictures. They included Kasey and Casey, and Malaki (!!) (as well as lots of Luke, Sophie, generally popular preppy-type names).
I love Francisco. And I like the pairing with Ellie, too -- so important, and so often overlooked!
There were 3..maybe 4 Lisas in my hs graduating class of 62 people.
Francisco is a great baby name!
I just bought a whole outfit of baby clothes with a zebra theme over at Crazy 8 (thanks, Kat) for my friends whose girl is due in May. The dad is a rollerderby ref whose derby name is Johnny Zebra and his wife is known in derby circles as Madam Zebra. It was hard not to buy every single zebra-themed piece. So super cute!
I was #1 in the 70s, #2 in the 80s, and then dropped off to #16, and #32. Whatever I did, I'm sorry. Hey, maybe my name will sound old fashioned one day. That'd be cool. Assuming I'm still around to reap the glory.
I love that database.
Totally gray, misty, rainy day out there today. So glad it's not snow.
Random question: "A historic..." or "An historic..."?
I'd go with "A historic..."
If you're American, it's "a historic". If you're British, it's "an".
I don't think I can deal with the unbearable stupidity of people today.
I must be British. This explains so much.
