One thing I love about coming back down to the North of England is the little things you don't really know you are missing until you rediscover them again

People don't understand meat and potato pie and I just cannot comrehend this. Its a pie, with meat and fucking potato! They stare at me like I am a crazy person for even considering that you add potato to a meat pie.
I nearly hugged the woman in Co-op travel when she gave me my travel money yesterday. She was so nice and so northern.
I may have to bribe my grandma in to making me some rag puddings to take back up with me, along with my usual order of parkin. She is currently making me a steak and mushroom pie for my tea and the smells are mouthwateringly good coming out of the kitchen! And when I get back we are making chocolate cheesecake brownies. I love my grandma ♥
When I was booking the holiday I was talking to the travel agent lady on the phone and she asked me if I had been to Egypt before and I was all yes darling, three times! Although I dont have any of my clever Egyptified books to take on holiday with me; I have two Sookie Stackhouses (trashy vampire fiction for the win, yay!), an Italian murder mystery book and a scholarly book on Pompeii (perhaps I should have gone to Italy? Although it is muchos expensivo).
Meat and potato pie and it's peppery, meaty, potato-y goodness will one day rule the world! I have faith. It's the wrong time of year for parkin though, you have to wait till October. I made some for my rowing team last november, they did not really understand it's glory, except one who said 'oh yes, that's some yorkshire thing isn't it (I coldly informed her I was from Lancashire thank you very much).
I really want to read Sookie Stackhouse books (and watch True Blood), maybe when I am home doing nothing all October.
I know it is too early, thats why I am getting grandma to make me some.
See I love True Blood now. At first I didn't because it was all slow and you just want to slap Sookie, but now it is awesome because they have realised that Sookie/Vampire Bill is yawny boring and everyone else is much more interesting. (although you totally cannot watch it with parents around, because it has orgies...lots of orgies) Now I am reading the books though it is all wierd. The tv show has to be hands down much better written than the books, but I am kinda loving them, because they are basically trashy love (but badly written).
Yeah, I liked the sound of Tara based on previous descriptions. I love the trash, I will probably like the books better than the show if they are all trashy because that is how I roll.
yeah, I'm on book two and Tara has only just come into it and she is totally different to the Tara in the books. Plus Lafayette only appears in the second book dead and he is quite possibly the single most awesome thing in the whole TV world....along with Eric and Pam and Jessica and Hoyt (Oh Hoyt you are made of sweetness you adorable man) and....oh fuck it, almost everyone is made of win in True Blood land.
Or I could try reading one when I come to see Amanda fucking Palmer! (and the indelicates who let's face it, if Amanda likes them you have to like them)
