where in the world is katie?

It's just a little blog to keep my nearest and dearest up to date about where I'm off to, and what I'm up to.

Do heels go with muumuus?

Alright, it is certain. If I took up residence in the UK I would soon weigh 800 lbs. Everything is deep fried and served with a pint of lager. They even fry the bread at breakfast. As I am fairly sure I would eat a boot, so long as it had been dipped in batter and deep fat fried, this poses a bit of a problem. I realized I was in trouble when I was contemplating which of the six British candy bars I have sampled I liked best. I have been here four days. I should also point out that I am constantly corrected that they are chocolate bars, not candy bars, as apparently candy refers to a stripper's name, not foodstuffs. So my list of preferred chocolate, in descending order.

1) Lion bar ( a sort of unholy union of a hundred grand and a Twix bar
2) Crunchie (chocolate coated honeycomb stuff)
3) Time out ( honestly they are all sort of blurring together now, but I'm pretty sure I liked this one a lot)
4) Yorkie ( just a straight up chocolate bar, but ranked higher because its wrapper bears the slogans of "It's not for girls" and "Don't feed the birds" with a with a slash/no symbol through the woman from the restroom symbol, who's holding a purse no less.)
5) Flake ( a crumbly bumpy chocolate thing)
6) Twist ( the double bar bastard brother of the flake)

Unfortunately I reached a new low when I found my self wandering around Marks & Spencer grocery for an hour today, slightly drooling, unable to pick which new, weird, yummy thing I was to have for lunch. But I had spotted dick for dessert. Seriously.
