Food and Drink (the basic diet of the HPforGU discussions)

[Simon]

Kelley: "Hahaha.  When you go over, you'll have to show them how to make
sweet iced tea, too.  My friend, Stuart (in Walsall) says about that "Ick,
ick, ick, double-ick, and poo..."  That's a direct quote.  My friend Sarah,
also on that list, from Melbourne, will be visting the US this fall, and
worries that she won't be able to get her daily morning cup of tea.  (Hot,
that is...)  We're so uncivilised..."

How can one cope without ones breakfast cup of tea?


Penny: "My husband could live on Digestives!  He thinks they are the
perfect food..."

I do agree about them being very good. I got a packet today, though mine
are to accompany the large block of Stilton I have sitting in the fridge,
direct (well nearly, it went via a few other people in a journey of several
hundred miles just to make it about 100 miles down the road) from the
market in the place where it is made. I am looking forward to it already,
though it will tomorrow at the earliest - tonight is pancakes (American
style I think).


Heather M.: "Simon? Would you like some gravy mix?"
Heather M.: "Maybe we could meet for a pint. Simon? Are you in? You guys
aren't serial killers are you?"
Heather M.: "I will meet you for a beer any evening you like, but I'm
bringing my Leticia. She's my **best** friend. How old are you? She's cute.
heh heh. Simon! We three need to coordinate. Where's your favorite pub? I
have a six zone tube pass."

I am in now and am not a serial killer. I am not yet sure where I will be
for that week. I hope to still be in Oxford, but have yet to hear back from
my accommodation people (I think they should get back to me later today, so
hopefully will have an answer then). If I am not still in Oxford then a
journey becomes impractical, as my parents do not live close to a train
station and bus is a non-starter from Dorset.

I have never been to a pub in London, so I think leaving that discussion to
someone else would be best. I would need some kind of directions and map to
find anywhere and would prefer somewhere that is not too far from one of
the train stations, else my journey home will take all night.

We possibly should do the rest of this planning off list. Do we want to
advertise on the main group about the possibility of meeting up?
