a broad abroad, how did I miss you! :wave: Welcome to the Beach!!
If you get a chance, would you mind posting your thoughts on the meals you're trying? Beneath the recipe, that is. Thank you!
(it's entirely the fault of these American girls that everything here is in Imperial. They're so behind with the times. :lol3: )

Whaddya mean "in Imperial"? Would that be measurements? :D

-a confused yank

:lol: Laurie, in "Supersize Me", the guy who made the movie asked a number of people to define the word "calorie". No one knew what it was. (by the way, they were all Americans. :lol3: :rofl: )

Ellis that comment struck me funny. Not sure why could be that I am a tired chick on a friday afternoon. :rofl:

:D Little Chick, you need a nap, hon. :grouphug:

Now, now, Jack. You're a writer. You should know better than that! Just because your editor tells you how to spell "colour", doesn't mean you have to pay heed. :lol3:

I only pick on you Americans because I love you. :D

LMAO!!!!!! Oh man! <wiping tears from eyes>

NEWS ALERT! Hilariously funny man enters the SBD forum! Jack! :grouphug: How are you, sweetheart? I don't think I've ever seen you in here before! :D

The way Ellis spells color has nothing on the way she spells "whining"! Not only is she Canadian, she's British-Canadian! I bet she even holds out her pinky while drinking her tea... :lol:

I may be totally nuts here (well, I am, but that's beside the point), but I remember hearing that someone (Thomas Jefferson?) wanted to modify the English spellings to make them more phonetic. He was completely unsuccessful except for the small changes in the spelling of words such as color. Interesting! I'll poke around online and see if I can find out who he was...

P.S. You only hurt the ones you love! :lol:

Ooh, in looking for this guy, I came across this hilarious article (I love this whole website!) with the following, "In my opinion, all we have to do to win the whole language war is to popularize some rhyme with some lines like "Cookies, elevator, french fries, truck; don't say 'petrol' or you suck."
