Sometimes, the differences in slang between the US and the UK can be disconcerting....
Why don't those UK people use correct American slang?

a forgotten British dish - faggots
The article doesn't explain what it is! I thought in British, faggot meant cigarette, but from the sidebar I'm guessing this is some kind of homemade sausage roll?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't remember hearing it used that way (fags were cigarettes), but faggot was used to mean a bundle of sticks for fire.
My weekend plans involve working both days from unholy early and, well, not getting a migraine, mostly.

Punishingly Intricate
My weekend is Ikea tonight to get some few more things for my kitchen/bathroom. What color towels should I get??? My dream is stripey but I think it's an impossible one.
Also doing a ton of laundry.
Tomorrow is bike ride to Annapolis (not all the way from here, on a trail about 20 miles) for ice cream! then my contractor is coming over to do a few extra things and to fix my roof. love him! Then i have cookout for which I need to make potato salad.
Sunday yoga sometime i really, really hope. Also mad cleaning of my house (in prep for my man from Chicago coming into town next week). Getting some grooming maintenance. Seeing my ukelele friends perform at my friends' store. Babysitting.
When am I going to clean?! Aieeeee!!!
