Today
I walked three miles to get back home, dragging a suitcase, rather than wait two hours for a bus. What unlikely and/or amazing thing have you done today?

Alt Q: I have no food in the house. Take my mind off my hunger. Not a question, just a plea

I spotted Ed first. Amazing
I thought Roger was WBM/Batshit. Not amazing.

How long did your walk take?

congrats on the Ed spotting
It took me about one and a half hours, but was slightly over three miles and I am a very slow walker

I've had a half day today and unpacked the last of my stuff. I've also been to tesco and done a food shop. My life is exhilerating and I think everyone should try it.

Nothing much
apart from going into a clothes shop, seeing several things I liked, that fitted and suited me, and not buying them. That's extraordinary.
I am now at home with CSI:NY and fizzy water.

How far away's the local shop?

is the three miles I just walked. I found some burgers in the freezer, and some pitta bread in a airtight package, so I might do something with that. There are is the beer as well

Speaking of food
If I slice some mushrooms, finely chop a couple of cloves of garlic and a couple of tomatoes, sautee the whole lot in olive oil for a bit, add a glass of red wine and heat it until it reduces by half, would that taste nice with steak? I'm a bit of a novice at this cookery stuff.

Also, how long would it take to reduce?

caramel magnum is also really good, creamy and chocolatey. And caramely too. I've just realised I ate 5 99's this weekend. Shocking but tasty.

The Magnum Gold one?
Wasn't so keen. Do you remember the ones where it was a layer of chocolate then caramel or chocolate sauce then a layer of chocolate then icecream? Those were amazing.
(I helped save b3ta! Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 4 Aug 2010, 19:29, Reply)
No, not the gold one
it's called double caramel or something. Basically there's your chocolate shell, then a layer of caramel goo, then another chocolate shell and another layer of caramel goo, then your vanilla ice cream. I'm well tempted to nip out and get one to be honest, but I suspect laziness will win.
