Food, Hoof and Mouth, England and my musings on the last 400 messages...

[Scott]

Hi you guys...I have spent the better part of the day catching up on 
the last 350+ messages on this list-WOW! I also don't think that it's 
fair you've been having such a wonderful food discussion without me! 
WAHHHH!!

Firstly I must say-Ebony! Ebony! Ebony! Ebony! Ebony! I am not at 
all excited about your trip. I'm estatic! Namely because I am also 
going to be in Oxford in July, and, I'm hoping, staying at Corpus 
Christi! Do you believe that!?! I'm now undecided about whether I'm 
more excited about going to England or the possibility of meeting 
you! (and maybe the Brit members, but I'm not sure yet). Gosh, but 
this is exciting. 

We'll have to be careful of Neil however and see to it that he 
doesn't eat us both with lemonheads, and wash us down with digestive 
biscuits and a glass of milk.

As for Hoof and Mouth Disease Heather the big fear seems to be 
spreading it, not contracting it. As for Mad Cow Disease I'm a 
Vegetarian anyway so I'm not terribly worried. However the whole 
thing does seem rather frightening.

Then there was the whole never-ending biscuit thread, which wasn't so 
bad considering I made Chocolate Chip Cookies this afternoon. I don't 
know how the Brits can find something called a "digestive bisquit" 
very appealing but then again I'm still wondering over Spotted Dick. 
Bisquits are a good ol' custom (being from North Carolina. Hi 
Heather!!) people just know how to make them. They are wonderfully 
soft and flaky and moist and great with butter and blackberry or 
wineberry Jam (I personally love Scones more, but you don't see them 
around here.)

Who ever posted the Cranberry recipe can I have it too? Lets 
see...It's almost two in the morning but I just had to respond to the 
England thing...I'll admit though I'm kinda tired. We had a Great 
Show tonight, and sold out...the place only sits about three hundred 
though

Who really wants to go to Liverpool (I'm a Beatles fan) but I don't 
think I'm gonna get there this year.
