I look forward to an email update on this date. Especially since all things seem appropriate and above-board!

An update you shall most certainly have! It IS all sort of shockingly above-board, isn't it?

But is LOL ANTHONY STEWART HEAD *really* all that unrelated to her grad research, in the long run? I think not!

If you have a half-full carton of coffee cream in your fridge which you bought three weeks ago with the intention of making a bread pudding that never materialized, this would be a good place to use up a splash of that cream

This is EXACTLY my style of cooking, bb. I love roast chicken more than I love human children, so this is definitely going to get a try, thank you!

truest of true facts, my friend.

*high five* It's how all the cool kids roll. (Other things that coffee cream has gone into: an improvised leek risotto (made because, you guessed it, I had leeks in the fridge I needed to use up), an improvised pasta sauce with sauteed zucchini, vermouth and anchovies (ditto the zucchini and anchovies), and a mug of tea one morning when I was out of milk and didn't want to go across the street to buy more. Apart from the tea (OH MY GOD HOW UNSPEAKABLY FOUL, NEVER AGAIN), every instance has been ridiculously tasty. And we can STILL make bread pudding someday. \o/)

Hee, you're the third of my flisties (okay, one of those is a comm) advocating cooking with booze! It must be a sign.

To paraphrase a kitchy coaster my aunt got for my grandmother one time: I love cooking with booze! Sometimes I even put it in the food.

IS IT WITH A MATHS GENIUS INSTEAD?

I have an appropriate icon for your post; this pleases me.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL YOUR ICON, I AM DYING

(ASH as Uther was certainly discussed on the night that said slogan appeared on my door, I cannot lie. But the actual provenance was more to do with Repo: The Genetic Opera, which we were watching; if you are unaware of this particular cinematic item, I don't feel I can do it any better justice than to recommend you Google and marvel at leisure.)

Okay, but, NO, alas, the date is not with the International Mathematician of Mystery (who remains lamentably Mysterious; I've been dithering all week about e-mailing to ask him out for coffee, but then I was like, well, if this other date goes well I'll kind of be in a pinch, right, so I'll leave it up to his Mysteriousness to contact me or not). Nor any other kind of maths genius. He's, er, a philosophy student? Right down to the predictably beaten-up tweed overcoat and unruly beard (I know, I know.) But fairly adorable nonetheless, plus funny, articulate, geeky, etc. And, y'know. OLDER THAN I AM. *facepalm*

AHAHA. I've heard of this Repo but I am still confused and I feel that may be for the best. :>

OH GOD. It's like you're shopping in a WHOLE NEW part of the store. XD Hope it goes well! I once went on a pseudo-date with a philosophy/classics student who, yes, fit your description pretty well (he thought it was a date, I didn't realise?) but he was too flighty for my Refined Likings. This is a completely irrelevant story but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Yeah, not gonna lie, when Repo was on I was in and out of the room and not paying very much attention because I was too busy knocking things over and breaking stuff, which has become sort of a staple of my life now that I am apparently enough of a brain trust to continually drink alcohol while on several kinds of medication which explicitly prohibit same. In short: I think I saw about as much as I needed to?

Re: date, turned out it kind of was an accidental date / not-a-date (from his perspective this time) after all, but it was actually a fabulous evening nonetheless; we basically just talked for six hours straight and never ran out of things to say. Even if it weren't a Smashing Romantic Success I'd say he's probably the single person I've intellectually 'clicked' with the most since moving here six months ago, and that's frankly more valuable to me than SRS™ any day of the week. :D
