This week was filled with lots of beauty, some of which I was able to catch with my camera. You may say– What does that have to do with 'zombie fruit'. –Nothing really, but since you mention it I have had a run in with a number of different British foods. One thing particular to the UK is many of their sweets have raisins in them. As I was talking with one of my colleagues about sweets, she commented about how much she disliked raisins– "I hate raisins, I wish they would die!" That's when it dawned on us: "Raisins can't die, they're dead grapes; but raisins are fruit so they must be undead. Raisins are zombie fruit!" I actually like raisins. Eat them before they eat you is a good motto for these wrinkly little bite-sizes. Oooooh… strange thought… raisins are wrinkly like BRAINS are wrinkly…!
I've seen some food here this week that has made me scratch my head. For example, how would you feel about eating a 'toad in the hole'? Or how about a can of mushy? I guess Americans do have strange named foods too. How inviting does eggs in a nest sound for a meal, or a pig in a blanket? Assuming the 'pig' and the 'blanket' are clean I guess it doesn't sound too bad. Regarding the can of mushy– From what I gathered, it's for those who like their sweet peas softer than the typical canned peas.
It rained pretty hard yesterday. And you might say– "What's new for England?" To which I might say– "Gee you talk a lot for being a reader." Anyway, I was able to take a few pictures after the storm cleared up, and here's what I got. Not so bad for being within the city limits.
