Going to see Up in the Air this afternoon. Then on to a Turkish restaurant. Looking forward to it.

Did London years ago - was the guest of a then sig-o and staying with fancy-pants-financial-company family member.

The sig-o was likely the problem, as I prefer plans and "tours" and such while the sig-o just liked to wander, disliked making plans. I don't like wandering much in a city I don't know my way around or what the "bad parts" are yet. Sig-o had lived in London as well.

If the roles were reversed, I'd be dragging the person from A to B to C on an itinerary of sorts showing them the highlights.. my sig-o was more inclined to be like "what do you want to do today?" to which I rarely had any clue.

For some reason turkish food sounds good - but what counts as turkish food exactly?

Turkish delight :D

Na really, it is a lot like lebanese/israeli/middle eastern, with some flare at times.

*tries to figure it out*

Would it be akin to morrocan with a heavy emphasis of cinnamon on beef and mint with melon?

mint, pepper, spices are all very heavy influences yes, along with yogurt.

*busts out the Nintendo DS and Personal Trainer cooking*

Let's see what the Japanese think Turkish food is..

Hehe, took me a few mins to find Turkey on the map :)

We got.. tomato soup (cute), beef and kidney bean stew, lamb stew, turkish stuffed peppers, and rice pudding.

I'm not sold, but the Japanese also think American food is jambalya, potato salad, and clam chowder.

Offer was accepted. :D

We're off to SAT; have a good un', Box.

:-:Congratulations!:-:

Congratulations.

:-: When's the House Warming Party? :D

Oo! Party! Potluck! I'll bring.. *taps around a bit* Keema Curry? I guess that's edible.

FWIW, my best friend growing up was an extra in that scene. He's one of the Asians. ^ (if you see the trailer that has that scene, he's the one with the buzz-cut right around the 1:00 mark who turns towards the camera).

Wii is good on the flat panel. Have fun, and remember to wear the wrist strap, lest you wind up like the people who fling their remotes into TV sets!

Happy Boxing Day, Box.

I got Motion Plus for a gift, so I shall certainly heed that advice.

Time to help the six year old compete with her father at Scrabble. :)

No onion bread stink on my computer bag which was in the trunk for a couple of hours today as I did some errands on the way to FLL.

It was easy for me to grab a sniff because right now it is sitting next to me on an empty FC seat on the 3 o'clock to LGA. The back is almost full but there are only 5 pax in the front cabin with 9 empty seats. Hard to believe when the terminal outside security was a complete zoo with stranded travelers scattered all around on the chairs and on the floor.
