Today I ran oh so thrilling errands. Well some of the errands were kind of fun. I bought cardamom pods and honey. Then I had to buy diaper related items. Not exactly super thrilling. As a treat to myself I got an egg cream. It tasted of win and awesome. It may even have tasted of Victory. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] popcultureicon for pointing me in the direction of the place that sells the glorious beverage.

I came home to find out my son was trying to kill Mr. Jenner. So I attended to him for a bit. When I wasn't being Awesome Mum, I was trying to find halfway decent lodgings in Brighton that A. Did not cost an arm and a leg and B. welcomed babies. As I said to some people, "It was like trying to find Paris Hilton's modesty."
Eventually we found a place that is tidy, has a good location and won't force me to work the corner to pay the bill. Also we don't have to sneak Senor Onion in and claim he is a semi-hairless dog.
I will say that certain on line booking places who don't state all of their fees upfront can go suck green donkey dicks for a quarter.
But I won't say any more. Because I am a lady....'n shit.

I made strawberry sorbet today. Not only is Mr. Jenner a keen fan of this sorbet, my Mother is as well. She had some when she was over on Tuesday. I think it was her second favorite thing that day. (The first being her imaginary boyfriend Jasper Fforde) I have to thank Thomas Keller for the recipe. It is freaking amazing. It is ice cold sex.

Tomorrow's task (when I am not trying to convince Alex that civilized people don't eat coasters) is to make an almond cake. Let the fun begin.

It is an expensive city with a nice dose of passive-aggressive behavior. It is a good place to be if you like to be a bit of a misanthrope and you have dry skin. (the moisture will clear up your skin quickly)

I had a dream last night and you were in it. You were fighting with some person over a soup tureen.

Well if it helps you were in your new robe and fighting in this fancy shop.

I think it should be like your bathtub picture. Only you are holding an egg cream and saying, "it's an intimate experience."

Egg Creams are perfect drinks for hot weather. Especially in August.

replace the coasters with rice cakes and maybe he won't notice the difference? :)

The rice cakes might be a step down for him.
