I booked my flight back home today. I'll be in flying in from London and will arrive in Tulsa at 11:16 p.m on June 4th. Unfortunately, I have 3 hour layover in the great city of Minneapolis. I'm going to spend two nights in London with one day travelling to and from and one full day to sightsee. Flying out from London turned out to be a lot cheaper than flying out from Paris and that's including the price of trains from Vichy to Paris to London.
It's beginning to look a lot more like Spring and Summer; I can finally where shorts and T-shirt outside. I remember Paul and Lyndsey telling about how to dress in France, but the funny thing is when we went to Lyon I saw Crocs store. It was surprising.
It's common to get potatoes on your pizza.
Even though Coca-Cola is well known over here none of my friends have heard of Coke floats and they've never heard of Root Beer floats let alone Root Beer. So, I was thinking we might get together and have some. Some of my friends were put off a little by adding liquid sugar to solid sugar and eating it. But it is gooood.
Also, I have confirmed you can buy beer at McDonald's or "McDo" as the French like to call it. Speaking of beer I haven't seen any Budweiser. The main brands seem to be Heineken, Kronenburg (Danish or German), and 1664 (French) and you can find Coronas but it's not standard to serve them with lime.
I found out (via Wikipedia) one of the wineries we visited had committed wine fraud in 1998 by adding water, milk, and fruit additives to their wine.
My Norwegian friend brought me back some Norwegian brown cheese which is really good. It's made with cow's and goat's milk with some caramel (I think) which gives it the brown color. The Slovakian girl brought us all back a little bottle of 40 proof Slovakian alcohol.
Well, have good day.

OH GOODNESS ZACH!! Now you got this pregnant lady thinking about and craving root beer floats. =) Maybe I can find some A&W Cream Soda too. It is getting HOT here in NM. I even got Clark a baby pool to play in. That cheese sounds really good too. I wonder if we could find something similar in the US? Potatoes on pizza? How is it? Are they fried, mashed, baked, or what cause I might try it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and today is the feast of St. George. You should try to find an English pub or some fish and chips to celebrate. I'm making a Dragon Cake and I can't wait to post the pics. Hopefully I'll have my computer back soon from Geek Squad.
Later gator!

I think you have us all checking the freezer for ice cream to make floats. Never underestimate the power of suggestion! It is pretty warm here this afternoon, about 85, I think. Well, I had better get out there and start mowing the lawn so I can not feel so guilty when I have that Coke float later:)
ReplyDeleteLove, Mom
Making the circle...Talking about Kabobs. What was it, oh yes, "King Hot Kabob On A Stool" with the drink being a Coke or Root Beer Float with a shot of "Kahlua" YES!!!
ReplyDeleteYou started this Root Beer float stuff last summer. Remember when we had them at like 12am while playing IRS? Good times. You will just miss Maxwell's Baptism. Had I of known you would be back so soon I would have picked a different date. He has 3 Godmothers...he's a ladies man.
