Good morning Off Topic!
I've only just been drinking and looking at facebook and people I went to high school with.
I've decided I need to lose 8,000 lbs.
And become an astronaut in order to look cool. Or maybe drive a ferrari and have Angelina Jolie in the passenger seat.

Have you made any special decisions lately?

What's your fave snowy morn breakfast?
( Lisette von Falcon, Sat 29 Oct 2011, 8:20, 89 replies, latest was 14 years ago)

Morning Kris
I'm boxing up books this morning as my brother's girlfriend knows someone who'll take any fantasy novels I don't want. I don't think she realises it's going to be 8 or 9 big boxes.

When I was young we spent one Christmas in a holiday home halfway up an Austrian mountain thanks to my Dad's contacts. Every morning the food was restocked and breakfast would be cheese and salami on soft white rolls, so that's what I hanker for when it snows.

cheese and salami
makes me think of an italian
( Lisette von Falcon, Sat 29 Oct 2011, 9:07, Reply)

German salami
It's a very germanic breakfast apparently.

Morning all

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 29 Oct 2011, 9:37, Reply)

Indeed it is
with strong black coffee. German bread rolls are also really, really nice.

However it's got to be porridge when it snows, so you're all warm on the inside when you're cold on the outside.

Besides, we're both wrong. The superior form of popcorn is butter but few cinemas seem to do it these days.

my favourite snowy morn breakfast is a cup of tea, or hot chocolate. A very clear memory remains of my Italian au pair making hot chocolate for me as a child on a snowy day, and shaking cornflakes into it and dipping a muffin in. For years I was convinced this was what Italians ate for breakfast.

My only special decision lately has been the weightloss one
