    European Foods I Miss

    Saturday's wandering around Brussels shopping and getting a waffle or two freshly made by street vendors, all that sugar... Open face omellete au fines herbes. Belgian beer to wash down a croque monsieur if made with mozzarella and a couple of places did that. Bratwurst and fries from street...

    For both guys and gals

    I occasionally use aftershave but for years only two, Chanel Anteus and Bulgari Aqua which for a long time wasn't available in the uk but my cousin used to get it for me on her US trips as cabin crew for British Airways. As much as like them I also got so many compliments. So guys if you wear...

    Accidental Art

    This happened in Scotland; How a Humble Pineapple Became Art Now before this happened back in the day, my mate and I used to busk in Glasgow city centre and would take a break and have lunch at this famous art gallery that had a cafe that served up really great vegetarian food. The gallery had...

    LSD

    Not the mind altering drug but the currency I grew up with in the UK before being decimalised in 1971. It went like this; There were 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound. So that made 12 x 20 = 240 pence in a pound. Libra meant pound, solidus meant shilling and denarius meant...

    What is it with basements?

    I see basements in lots of US paranormal documentaries and even other videos where people don't like basements. We don't have such a thing in the UK at least not that I've seen but it sounds like a cool thing to have. Do you dig a hole before building the house?

    Hash Browns

    They have only been available here in recent years and rarely appear as a breakfast item so like others I use them in many different meals. My US friends are they strictly a breakfast item for you? Oh and corned beef hash doesn't exists here but I enjoyed it in the US.

    Random tales from a musician

    I have lots of stories and if you find them interesting I can post more. Soon after playing music full time I moved to London with the other guy in the band at that time a two piece. Now this guy came from a privileged background a world away from how I grew up but we got on well and were...

    What was your adult 'be astonished like a kid moment'?

    It's trivial but when I first went to Spain (that story will be in the upcoming 1st chapter of the book), we parked somewhere on the outskirts of the town we were heading for near some trees late and night and no light. Woke in the morning to be surrounded by real orange trees with ripe fruit...

    I have a question

    I'm dieting and I know I shouldn't but loving to cook I watch a lot of food videos. A lot of these cookery vids talk about kosher salt in recipes, I know what kosher is but I've never seen kosher salt and it isn't available here that I can find. So the question is why?

    The diet is working really well but I do have one healthy blow out meal in a week. So let's have a poll, what should I cook this week? The only rule is I don't eat cheese unless mozzarella so if that's a substitute bring it on. Let's hear your suggestions. With meat. Without meat. Fish. Not...

    This is worth a watch

    I've spoken with Nick Pope and rate him highly. If you're interested in UFO's give this a go.

    School geek

    Kinda smart in a school that was in a low rent town, ignored at best and hated by most including the teachers cos I was smarter than them. It was a newly built school and it had a theater. The pretty gals didn't know I existed. I leave school to work and study in England, teach myself classical...

    Just for Americans

    A report was released stating that 10% of Americans have never left the state they were born in and 40% have never left the country. Your experience?

    Your go to comfort food?

    Mince 'n tatties which is a Scottish staple. Ground beef and mashed potatoes with added carrots or peas and sometimes both. Cottage pie is a variation but not as good in my opinion.

    Peanuts

    Salted, dry roasted, honey glazed? I've never seen sweet peanuts here in the UK and peanut butter has never been that popular here. Freebie sweet peanuts I only ever saw in the US flying on airlines, they were ok but not a favourite of mine. Salty for me. So, sweet or salty?

    I'm cruising with my instructor as I'm converting to an Ikarus C42 and I ask what would you do do if the engine died right now? He cut the the power and said what would you do? The farmer was a bit surprised...
