I really like white pudding best, though. Tastes even better

What's white pudding? By the time I finished the Wikipedia page on black pudding, with every European and Asian name ever invented for blood sausage, I was afraid to look up anything else!

LOLOL!!! Omg, maybe it really is a butch thing? Well, no, can't be, lol, Gryph made a convert out of me. There's almost nothing that can't be improved with the right cheese.

EXCEPT dog food. I draw the line at dog food.

I watched The Fairytale Wedding because, yanno, I wanted to be the princess.... and then I watched it unravel year by year. Now I can't be bothered--but then, I can't be bothered with ANY celebrity no matter what they're doing, unless it's saving the environment.

That actually makes Charles the Cad fairly interesting to me, ironically enough--I applaud his efforts in that direction, and actually agreed with his statement about boring modern architecture, lol...

I think I'm probaby atypical as a US citizen because I am not impressed in the least by fame and fortune; you're less likely to sell me a magazine with someone famous on the cover, for instance, than with a landscape or garden or room interior on the cover. I turned off the television decades ago and have only watched it sporadically since. I can always tell a huge difference in the quality not just of my life but also of my thinking when I am away from the influence of that infernal brainwashing machine.

Oh btw, Storm and I skipped lunch and so we're having tea, of a sorts. Hers is iced, mine is just water, and we're sharing a "personal watermelon" which is pretty darned big even for two hungry people--but ohhhh so good on such a hot day! BUT when I was growing up, fruit in the mid-to-late-afternoon was not called "tea" but "after school snacks" and the snacks would just as often be cookies (biscuits) and milk.
