Just baked chocolate chip cookies for my house. I believe the general reaction was- “Why would you keep these from us all this time?!?” I’m not really sure, especially considering my frequent damnation of “biscuits,” these hard wannabe-cookie crackers that are so popular in England. This company called Ben’s Cookies is basically the salvation of England’s poor cookie status. I first tried a Ben’s Cookie in Bath and was exceptionally pleased to hear that there was a location in Brighton. I cannot walk down Duke Street without getting a Coconut cookie. It is physically impossible. We NEED to get this cookie shop in the US! Unfortunately, I have a feeling that Americans might overlook their amazingness in favor of the massive cookie cake slices available at your nearest shopping mall. Listen to me…only been here nine months and I’m already referring to Americans as Americans.
In other news: I’m leaving for Italy tonight. Well, technically I’m leaving for the airport tonight and won’t actually fly to Italy till the morning. I have to leave tonight because my flight is too early to take public transport to the airport. Nothing like a good night’s sleep on an airport floor! Sorry for the lack of interesting blogging lately. I went to London for the day on Tuesday…but other than that, I’ve just been enjoying myself in Brighton. In London it rained, rained, rained…what a surprise. But Estrella and I managed to get some really cheap tickets to see Chicago, so that was a nice opportunity of escape from under my umbrella.
Regent’s Park
Ok, time to pack!
