Hobnobs

Hobnobs are on sale at the campus grocery. And not just hobnobs, but - dark chocolate hobnobs. Two great tastes that taste great together!

Dear reader, when you dip the dark chocolate hobnobs in tea, the chocolate melts. I had to restrain myself from eating the entire package.

Food I Will Miss When I Leave England:
1. Hobnobs. Especially dark chocolate ones.
2. Clotted cream. Cream teas generally, but clotted cream in particular, because I could reproduce the rest of it at home.
3. Cheap fish & chips.
4. Pain au chocolate. (It's available at home, but only at Starbucks, and Starbucks somehow makes the croissant part tough. Also, expensive.)
5. Sausage rolls.

I think this list probably explains why my stomach has been in knots for the last three days. I have been eating nothing healthy. Also, stress. (Is it bad that I didn't notice I was stressed till I got a psychosomatic gut punch?) Eat more fruit, woman!

...As soon as I finish the package of hobnobs. :)

Off to Edinburgh for the next two days. Hoping very much that I don't freeze.

Also, I finished my paper about The Symbolism of Food in the Middle Ages! Very exciting stuff.
