About Me

My photo
20-something American girl from Suburban Maryland/DC and transplanted to England in Spring 2011. After surviving a trans-atlantic relationship, I married my British better half in April 2011 and followed him across the pond! Wedding planning, immigration issues, and adventures in expatriatism! This blog has got it all. Please comment! :-D

FOODIE FRIDAY!

Sometimes a girl just needs an American pancake...


This joy brought to you by my parents who so graciously brought a box of Bisquick with them on their September visit!  Yum yum!

Sometimes presentation is everything:
 The hubby made some "cheesy straws" with a little artistic license!  <3



As promised, last weekend was brilliant!  We took the rental car for a spin--visting the Weald and Downlands Open Air Museum on Saturday and Littlehampton harbour on Sunday.
Vroom, Vroom!





Why do my pics keep coming up sideways on this blog?? hmmm....This is when some IT savvy would be helpful

Unfortunately the weather has taken a turn.  I can't believe that a week ago I was wearing a cute sun dress and today I bought a winter jacket!

We've gone from this:

brrrr!!

This weekend is for doing nothing (AKA "fuck all" as the Brits say).  Aside from laundry, of course.  I examined our new washing machine today to find horrible red/brown gunk in the detergent tray.  I screamed and then gagged.  Nothing a little Fairy Liquid and bleach can't help.  Glad to have seen it before cleaning my clothes in it!!!  bleechhh.  Anyways I'm looking forward to a cozy weekend!

Later!

    Hope your weekend was cozy! :-)
