7pm?

It seems so much later!! Did I mention I have to have a root canal tomorrow (the first of two)? I have two Valium tablets, and need to get a third from the endodontist when I get there. They don't use nitrous there, which has me concerned, since I'm nit sure the Valium will be enough. But I'm trying not to think about it. It's an hour's drive away. The only endodontist on our crappy insurance. Wish me luck and no anxiety attacks.

Jen and Dave came down yesterday. They took us out for Nin's birthday, so Nin picked the Crown and Anchor for dinner. Yay for Sticky Toffee Pudding! Also hit the British import store and got Crackers, Christmas pudding, and Mince pies. It was Christmas at the Adobes night, which I've always wanted to do, but no one else was up for it, so I settled for buying a 19th century Californio cookbook at the Cooper Molera Adobe store, and dragging them all to my favourite walled garden behind Portola Plaza.

Good news! Nin was able to trade with a coworker for Xmas Eve! Now both of them can have two days off in a row, so he was eager to trade for that, since neither of them had a two day off segment. Maybe they should let the employees write the schedule, huh?

And last, guess what? I've written the first page of the QoS fic!

It is cool, huh?

Yeah! My thoughts and prayers worked for once.

Points to you!

You get valium for root canals over there? Lucky You. I've never been given that option (or nitrous for that matter) for any of the ones I've had done over here (UK) and I've had more than I care to count. Hate my teeth. Good luck to you and hope it goes ok.

Great News about the swap, and good that it has worked out better for everyone this way.

Oh, and I'll be reading the fic once I've finished watching the series.

I do. I have severe dental phobia and without drugs there would be no dental work done. I can't even get a filling without medication.

Thank you!

Great news about the swap at work! Root canal - ugh. Lots of luck with that.

Sticky Toffee Pudding?

Now there's a coincidence, I recently came across a new cooking show in which that was featured - on-line with the recipe. Except this is a British (Scottish) show and so it looks more like a cake with a toffee sauce on top - not what an American would think of as a 'pudding' at all. Contains chopped dates and "sultanas" (which I have an impression are large raisins?).

It looks good but ... If I made it, I'd likely end up eating it all myself and I don't need the calories.

No, British pudding and American pudding have nothing in common. Yeah, a sultana is a kind of raisin. Summer Pudding is good too, and Plum Pudding. I'm pretty much an equal opportunity pudding lover [g]
