it was so easy and so good! the chicken only takes like 3 minutes on the grill, and the mushrooms about the same. I love portabellas. I found this really great fat free dressing. It's called Raspberry Pecan and it's made by Kens. A splash of that and you're set!

I'd rather have mixed greens or spinach than iceberg anytime. especially with chicken, mushrooms and red onion

AP - Raspberry Pecan is my FAVORITE dressing! I love it! The last couple of times I've done the grocery shopping, Albertson's hasn't had it though - ugh! I'm going to check out some other stores and buy it in bulk now. Another kind that is good, but not as good as Raspberry Pecan, is Ken's Raspberry Walnut vinagrette. It has a little bit of fat, but not too much. What's even better is to put a little bit of chopped pecans on the top of your salad when you're using the Raspberry Pecan dressing.

That's so funny that it's your favorite dressing! I just found it this weekend and I couldn't believe how good it was!!! I've tried other fat free dressings and they are usually all bad
so I was thrilled to find this. The store I went to didn't have Raspberry Walnut, but I bet I would like that also.

If you have trouble finding it, I'll mail you some. You can't be without!

Sabre, that's what I was thinking as well!


Sal, I'm sure you have some wonderful things there that we don't. I was there for 10 days back in 1995. Had a marvelous time.


Got to do the Jack the ripper tour, visit parliment, the globe theatre (it was still being built, exactly like when Shakespeare was alive) I saw Prince in concert, saw Grease the musical, got to visit Madam Toussands wax circus, the london dungeon, trafalger square....

I want to go back!!!!

I guess it is short for scrumptious, I've never really thought about it before
it just describes something that is lovely / yummy / tasty, etc, etc.

I know we do have a lot of good food over here, but it would be really nice to walk round Sainsburys (supermarket) and see some of the items that you're all describing. I don't think us English are as adventurous with our food.

AP - sounds like you had a great time! We only live half an hour from London and I haven't done half the things you listed. Typical huh?

Cat - Where are you planning to visit over here?

I live about 35 minutes outside of Washington DC, our nations capitol,and the only time I go do touristy things is when I have friends or family in town. It's a shame that I live so close to all this history, and amazing things that happen (marches, exibits, goverment) and I don't take advantage of it as I should. This summer I'm going to be better.

I lived with my uncle for a summer, when I first moved here, and he lives about 6 blocks from the Capitol building. I used to rollerblade to the Capitol and all over the mall. He would ride his bike and we would go past the Lincoln memorial, vietnam and Jefferson memorials and go to Reagan national airport. It was so awesome. I'm going to make myself do more of those things this summer.

I really want to go back to England, but I've got to make it to Greece, Ireland and a few other places first since I've already been to London.

I know exactly what you mean - we live so close to some great stuff, but never seem to make the most of it.

I'd like to see more of the States, but we have friends in Canada (makes for a much cheaper holiday) and we like to spend what time we can over there.

I guess I'll just have to retire early, or win the lottery, or something.

I don't remember the exact saying, but isn't there something to the effect that if you want to eat well in England, eat breakfast all day? Apparently you Brits aren't much known for your culinary expertise . . .

Plus, if I may be so bold, in the US everything is huge supermarkets, I mean huge like a stadium, huge like a city block, really really huge. So there's tons of space for each store to carry a bunch of different items. I haven't been to the UK, though I've been to Paris twice, and what I remember is the shops are quite a bit smaller than that. My friend and I went into a grocery store because she wanted orange juice, and it was the size of a large-ish 7-Eleven, 6 or 7 aisles and 2 registers. So I'm thinking, Europeans must have more specialty type shops and it probably has to do with the age of the buildings and the size of your country. It takes me over a full day of driving to cross Texas, so we have plenty of room to build 'em big.

Surely there's some amazing kind of food you guys make . . . Cheese? Isn't Cheddar in England? That's my favorite cheese. Fish & chips w / vinegar, also delish though a little greasy. Maybe duck or mutton or something we don't usually eat over here? Hmmm . . .

Arizona, California, Las Vegas. My friend used to be married to a guy in the American Airforce (divorced now though) and he was posted in Arizona. We stayed with them for about three weeks and they took us to loads of places. God knows how many miles we travelled, but it was good fun (sooooo tiring though, I was actually glad to come home)

I love cheddar (mildest possible though, can't stand the strong stuff) and fish & chips is great (although as you said, it's really greasy) but I'd love to have some different stuff.

Our supermarkets are so much smaller than yours - England has a distinct lack of space!!

It's just a case of wanting what you can't have. I'm sure if I lived in the States, I'd crave English food. :laughing:

One thing I will say though, is that restaurants in America and Canada serve much bigger portions!!
