My fic HATES me, and RL is BUSY, but I really, really want to post the next chapter before S3 starts next week... (I might post on Sunday night, if a miracle occurs and the words and plot and stuff all go together like they're supposed to. And then no one will read it, because it's Sunday night. *headdesk*)

Also my head hurts, it's been TOO HOT this week, and I need to go to bed. Blah.

Um - please ignore me, I just needed to vent. Look! Jack is pretty and flirty. Goodnight.

We had a hot 97 degree typical July day here in Eastern VA.

GOOD GRIEF HOW DO YOU LIVE????

[kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com]

Air Conditioning, and ice tea. Staying in at the hottest part of the day. It's the humidity that will get you around here, before the heat will.

[elisi]

Hmm, ice tea. I like that idea. :)

And I get the humidity thing, that's been the worst part here too.

Do the English prepare ice tea ? Or they totally offended at the idea ? I know or least think you have lived in the US, so you had ice tea. Come to think of it, since it is near the fourth of July ? Do people use barbeque over their you know with a grill, be it gas or charocal ? Do people in Britian eat pork, beef or even chicken barbeque ? If so what sauce do they like ? Do they eat any type southern food, sweet potatos, collards, okra, or even pig's feet ? If you can eat sheep guts in Scotland, I know they can stand pickle pigs feet or a head !

Or even fried chicken. I forgot that. That's a definite for Sundays.

I'll get back to you - right now I have children to get up... (sigh)

Roasted chicken for Sunday dinner.

Hmmm, I don't think they're offended at all, but I can't remember ever having it here.

I have not lived in the US actually - only in the Faroes, Denmark and England. But I've had iced tea even so. Just not often.

Oh yes! My in-laws regularly decide to have a barbeque (they have a very posh one), and invite family & neighbours round, and everyone spends the whole afternoon/evening sitting in the garden talking and eating. It's wonderful. And yes, pork, beef & chicken are often on the menu (pork usually in the form of sausages, beef as beef burgers). Not *terribly* inventive on the sauce front though, I think that's an American thing. Also none of the Southern food stuffs. *goes off to google collards and okra*

This what collards are

and this what okra is

and this is the type of barbeque I was raised on, pork.
" Eastern style
Eastern style is the most common type in both eastern North Carolina and in South Carolina. It is a vinegar- or mustard-based sauce and is more common in the eastern and coastal sections of the state. Eastern style uses the "whole hog" as the meat (not including internal organs), and is often said to use "every part of the hog except the squeal."[19] Many recipes use only vinegar and pepper, and rely on the smoking process for the overall flavor."

Though I have rarely been to one, they will bareque the whole pig, and often up till recently alot of people who dig wholes in the ground and cook the whole pig for a day. This was often done for church socials. I usually take my pork pulled and choped with a sauce of just vingear and salt and pepper.

Sometimes I try to remember what life was like before Wikipedia, but I can't really recall much...

Heeee! :D

And I can say absolutely that I've never been to a barbeque with a whole pig! Wow.
