Likes and dislikes

I like the fact that all of the fruit and veg is labeled where it is grown.

I don't like the fact that I had to back my minivan out of the "school car park (parking lot)" (its really just the parking for the locals who live there) for over a half a block with a wall on one side, cars on the other, 5 cars waiting on me, and one tire on the path (side walk) and one on the street.

I like the fact that I am at home more with my children. I did not know that I could become a home body and like to be home. I really think that my children have a lot of security in being at home.

I don't like the fact that when I go shopping for clothes and look at the rack I do not know what size I am in British.

I like the fact that I have lost over 30 pounds since Bethany was born.

I don't like the fact that all of my pants seem to fall off of me and drag on the ground in the water.

I like the fact that the British eggs don't have to go in the fridge. Saves room in my tiny fridge.

I like the fact that I can get cheese from all over the world. It is really my goal to try as many different types of cheeses. Even ones with mold on it :)

I like the fact that I live in an exciting place where my friends and family want to come visit. We would love to have YOU too!

I don't like the fact that I am far away when I need a coffee date with a friend.

I like the fact that I can keep up with my friends online.

I don't like the fact that when they are online is when I should be going to bed. Good night!

  2. Eggs don't need to go in the fridge. Once you put them in the fridge they have to stay there. That is how the chicken coops work. Otherwise you would have to watch the chicken lay the egg so that you can pick them up and put them straight in the fridge. Americans are one of the few countries that do put them in the fridge.

  3. Many things, especially cakes, cook better when the eggs are at room temperature - eggs are sterile and have a long shelf life so are normally eaten long before they go off..

    I like it that you are here Katie, I am richer for knowing you!
