Jack?  Please shut up.  You're supposed to be in a tale of intrigue and aliens, not having tea with a giggling four year old.  Remember the mystery?  The reason this whole stupid story is being written in the first place?  Do you think you can address that part sometime this century?

Plot=hard.  Tea and crumpets=fun.  *sigh*

This is a crumpet:

And if you google wrong, you will get rather unexpected results, involving women and not a lot of clothes. And no, I don't know how the association came about...

What you've described is pretty much how I work. I never know what's going to happen, how it's going to end or how they're going to get there. Fortunately, the characters usually do :)

oh my... yes, google can make some interesting suggestions to what you are looking for! *eep*

I'm glad to hear that other people write this way. With luck Jack does know what he's doing. I guess I'll just have to trust him

That is indeed a crumpet :D I cannot for life of me find a decent picture of what we'd call a muffin though :(

It was tricky, but I found this article (http://www.imaginatorium.org/words/muffin.htm) which sets it all out quite well...

You know, I should be answering emails, not traipsing around the web in search of bakery items.

This is so much more fun :)

I lead people to distraction *iz sorry*

*raises eyebrow* Are you? Really? Cos I'm doubting it at this end... ;)

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
well, I feel a twinge of guilt at it anyway

*giggle* Well, no more on my account - I'm off to bed. Have to get up and cycle in the morning, so I need all the sleep I can get *groan*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
sleep well, and congrats on cycling- exercise is good for the body and the wallet!

Drat it I think I saw a smaller version of that picture and skimmed over it :( Stoopid me

This *is* much more fun :D

oooh, and a chocolate one no less. YUM!

MM!

I've decided to learn how to make berry muffins. Need to start cooking. Hopefully they aren't hard.

I make muffins (that kind anyway) all the time, it's not hard. The trick is not to over mix the dough and cook it as soon as you can after the wet and dry ingredients are combined

Crumpets are evil.

Actually, I have to admit, I haven't had them since I was a child. But they were revolting back then.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh, sorry!

(Note to self... keep Smithy away from crumpets in all future conversations)

[identity profile] smithy161.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Like sunlight to a vampire. *Shudder*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
good to know... just in case I need... wait, I mean, to make sure not to mention them again

I have to assume that you've only had bad crumpets. Or a traumatic experience, possibly involving crumpets, a pat of butter and a small nuclear explosion? They were my absolute favourite supper when I was little.

[identity profile] smithy161.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not actually sure why I dislike them so much. They're weird things. Like... half-way between pancakes and toast. Maybe it was a nuclear explosion that put me off... I should see a hypnotist, see if he can re-awaken the latent memories.

or just decide to stay away from the crumpets and eat donuts instead

I think I'll stick with scones thank you.
