Gameday!

In honor of Gameday - Iowa State vs Kansas State

I was meeting up with Pippa the other day and as soon as she took her coat off I noticed her Kansas State sweatshirt. Is she a fan of the Wildcats?! Ahhhh not quite.

Every now and then I will see someone wearing a college shirt of some sort. Recent ones I have seen include Nebraska, Penn State, USC, and Ohio State to name a few. I have to come realize they aren't faraway fans - just a trend I guess?!

Interesting these Brits....then again if I get my hands on a Cambridge or Oxford shirt, I am wearing that thing everywhere!!

AND....GO STATE!!!

Christmas Time!

In light of Christmas I thought I would highlight a favorite festive dessert of the Brits -

Mince Pies!

Outside - quite beautiful

Inside - not as pretty but pretty tasty!

Here in England, no one "scraps" but they leave their empty cups on the tables and they say we are lazy ones:)! Jokes, Jokes (as they say here)!

Crumpets (below) are my new favorite - remind me of pancakes!!

Thank you Pippa for this new find!

You said, Whhaattt?!:

Chinos - khakis

Cargo pants - khakis

Beer Tour....

While living in England I am trying to take advantage of the variety of beers I can't experience in the states.

Here's my "beer tour" thus far - kind of pathetic only 3 beers! :)

Export Lager - not bad, not bad.

Gaymers (left) - had a sip / little fruity

Tiger (right) - would go great w/ chips and salsa

Harvest Ale - not my favorite

You said, Whhaatt?!:

Flat - dead (reference to phone)

Suits you - looks good on you (I get this all the time! HA!)

I couldn't care less - we say I could care less which obviously doesn't make sense at all :)
