Fooooood!

I went to the Food Show today: lots of free food and wine, yay! I always run into people I know there and today it was imhilien and a couple of guys I used to know. Not together, I may add.

I bought stem ginger oat biscuits, avocado oil, Bennet's chocolates (the spice selection including chilli, and a new seaside collection with shells, fish, and pebbles with almonds in them, almost too beautiful to eat), some Himalayan salt soap, organic Bay of Islands coffee beans, and a very cool tin opener with takes the top off with no sharp edges so that it forms a lid you can put back. Brilliant for cat food.

Then I sat down to read a geeky book about scientific intelligence in WW2, and Claudia got on my lap which made me go to sleep. Cats are telepathic, I tell you. So there wasn't much time for my MaArMaMo piece which it why it's a Molesworth one.

In other news, season 6 of The Sopranos started here last week. Eep! The ending was totally unexpected. I'm glad I was unspoiled. 8-0

I'm going to pretend that my brain didn't jump to the filthy interpretation of that first, and say, my, that's nice. (Which is probably what I would have said, had I not figured it out, too.)

*steals your food and your book, because of craving both*

Perhaps imhilien would like a male harem, but I didn't want to imply she had one!

Yes, ginger oat biscuits, a cup of tea, a geeky book, and a cat are a pretty good combo. :-)

[imhilien.livejournal.com]

Me, have a male harem? Hee hee! (quietly shoves male harem into the closet) ;-) It was nice running into you at the show...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It was! How are you managing with your harem? I found when I had one that I had to spend a lot on steaks and hide the remote.

As long as I give them the occasional beer, they're fine. ^_~

Uh, that wasn't how I read it. :)

Damn, I want some book-and-cat time. And we're all out of food again.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ah. You meant the verb 'to know'. [is slow] Ahem.

It's brilliant! Apparently it's a hot seller to people with RSI and arthritis because it grips on by itself; no squeezing. I wanted it for making lids for tins though, and not having to worry about cutting myself, or the cats doing so if they got into the sink to lick said tins. It's never happened but you never know with cats.

mmm, stem ginger biscuits

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They're even better than I remembered!

Us geeks want to know which book it was. :) RV Jones's, by any chance?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yessss! It's often very funny too. :-)

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

It's a very long time since I read it, so I can't remember much. I do recall that there was also a very good BBC TV series that I watched, which was based on the book. Unforunately a quick look suggests that it's not available on video or DVD.

Love food fairs, and that sounds like a good one:)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

This is the third time I've been. It's great.
