My trouble is tea and cake are inextricably linked. Have tea, want cake. Have cake, want tea. It's like some sort of Pavlovian conditioning . And yes it does work with pavlova...

I think it's the same thing as beer/nuts/crisps/pork scratchings. I'm not sure it's Pavlovian, more a taste bud thing. The taste of salty snacks somehow counteracts the bitter taste of the beer, while the saltyness makes you want more to drink.

And with tea, you need a bit of sweetness to counter the tea, but then you want tea to take away the sweetness.

Mmm, pavlova....

Start a tea light thread of your own, if you must. It won't hold a candle to this one!



Yes, thank you Arch, my coat is on the hook.

 

[Speicher]

When I think I would like something sweet, I now go for a small handful of sultanas. Yes they are sweet and high in calories, but contain fibre and are a much more healthy option. This week, so far, apart from when I got home from last night's tedious meeting I have been doing well. I just hope the scales reflect that on Monday.

 

[potsy]

Home now and avoided the doughnuts

though a (3) pack of Jaffa cakes somehow made it's way into my trolley

To Helen-I was quite impressed with Silent Witness especially the beginning of part 2, don't know if Speicher has or is still planning to watch it from the beginning so won't say too much

Speicher- Can you E-mail me some details from last nights meeting as I'm having a bit of trouble sleeping this week

 

[Speicher]

No, I have not yet watched part two from the beginning. Saw just the last fifteen minutes.

 

[potsy]

No, I have not yet watched part two from the beginning. Saw just the last fifteen minutes.

I guess it won't have the same impact now then?

I was welling up

Lasagne with garlic ciabatta in the oven

watching part 3 of 'The Planets'

 

[Speicher]

I will not be able to have tea after my tea!

The water supply appears to be defunct, temporarily I hope. May have to fall back on Hot Choc or lemonade or fruit juice. A nice mess that would make.

Oh, right, I always wondered what happened when I hit that big red button on the desk....

Disaster

Saying that I'm surprised you have running water in the 1950's

We tend to keep the kettle well filled to avoid that problem, also keep a 2 litre bottle of water in the fridge to make cold drinks with.

 

[Night Train]

Hang on though. Did you really just say "Yay, time for more ironing...." ?

Err, yes.

A good time for a cuppa I think.

It must be the week for it Speicher. Someone dug through our water pipe the other day and cut us off!

 

[potsy]

Have had half a packet of Jaffa cakes and put the other half away for tomorrow, wouldn't normally be any left by now

Night Train- Have you ever explained the origin of your user name? It always makes me think of the Guns n Roses song.

Going to have a hot chocolate in support of Speichers' water ban

Errrr - Mirrors reflect Speicher. Well, I'll concede that scales reflect too - the ones on fish at least.

Here - have a Donut This one has healthy sultanas in
