So, I'm new...

Re: So, I'm new...
Kaffy - I normally fly into Cinci but have managed to get decent flights into Lexington this time. Which is good, as I have six large suitacases plus hand luggage and will need two cars to get us all home
I didn't know my Starbucks personality but have just done the test. I'm disturbed by the results. So disturbed I might have to go back today and order a Dark Cherry Mocha just to be contrary. Except that I don't like coffee.
Apparently...

Regarding the Starbucks personality, here's mine:
Personality type: Pseudo-intellectual
You're liberal and consider yourself to be laid back and open minded. Everyone else just thinks you're clueless. Your friends hate you because you always email them virus warnings and chain letters "just in case it's true." All people who drink Grande Chai Latte are potheads.
Also drinks: Sparkling water
Can also be found at: Designer grocery stores
In my defense, I do not e-mail chain letters ... nor do I drink sparkling water or smoke pot.

Where do you go to find your Starbucks personality?
Sauted garlic mushrooms on wholewheat toast is also real yummy - with a dash of black pepper of course .

Re: So, I'm new...
Sauteed garlic mushrooms on wholewheat toast sounds gorgeous. I never met a mushroom that I didn't like and if it has made close acquaintance with a clove of garlic then so much the better.
I've had more soup - 'Choc Full Of Beans' chilli soup, which was rather delicious. Then my desktop computer blew up and is now completely functionless I suppose it's one less thing to pack and the insurance premium will come down a bit now. Every cloud, silver lining and all that...

Kaffy posted a link somewhere earlier on in the thread, I think

Bright side - I think computers are much less expensive here - and huge sales tomorrow, including online. You can easily get a desktop for as low as $299 - perhaps you have a Xmas present to hint for then
I make an appetizer of toast, white asparagus, and a mushroom sauce over the top. Had something similar in German and it was amazing. So I set out to recreate it as closely as possible.

Re: So, I'm new...
Ok, so I did the Starbucks personality test and dammit the news is not good. . . . apparently, I'm clueless and lame!
I'm just going to have to go back to my pg tips! - at least tea doesn't judge you . . . or does it?!

Re: So, I'm new...
I rather think it does - at least my Grande Soy Chai Tea Latte had an opinion!
Hoping for a better day today than yesterday. Not only did I have to contend with the exploding desktop but I also stubbed my toe on the corner of the bathroom wall. Ouch. Thought I'd broken it but I suspect it's just badly bruised - no heels for a few days though. Then I burnt my finger in exactly the same place that I burnt it last week - last week's burn was still healing and now it's all blistered and swollen and angry looking again *sigh*. Decided to make myself a hot chocolate, put some milk in the microwave to heat and for some inexplicable reason the mug fell over. Cue milk everywhere. It really wasn't my day. I'm going to have a GOOD day today, if it damn well kills me!

Bloody hell, what are you a walking disaster zone? Better make sure your insurance is well up to date before you arrive over here mate.

Welcome SallyCinnamon; I think you should move to Oregon instead of KY.

LMFAO; you rock ABY (I thought I saw you in Oregon the other day.. you have The Look to fit in here).
I had dinner with our Kentucky outcast last night. She regaled the Kiwis with tales of hush puppies and "Mommy's" recipes involving bacon grease. Thank god we had the Mexicans there to translate!

Only it wasn't a stick, it was the lower part of a deer's foreleg. My FIL had butchered a deer the previous day and one of the dogs must have drug it up to the house.
