will you be teaching there?

Yep. I'm just moving into my office today (and have access to high speed again, thank goodness). This term I am teaching research methods, but my areas are knowledge management, organizations, and information policy. Next term I teach strategic management.

So far so good, but then there are no students around. I suspect it will be different when they come back. : )

I always preferred teaching when the kids weren't around also!

Thought you others might like to see a traditional British Boxing Day meal which we had a day late because of having friends yesterday we had another cooked meal

My dinner - cold meat and pickles English style

Dad's basically the same but he had boiled new potatoes on his

[DollyCali]

Those look great Eleanor.. I am sure your dad appreciates you & I know My mom wishes I had a little of your culinary skill in my blood!

[snugs]

I am sure you are a good cook Dolly but you have so many other things going on that sometimes certain things have to slip.

You have given me the opportunity to brag though LOL, I pickled the lemons and onions and they were beautiful, I have missed pickled lemons the last few years mum always did them and so I did them this year and am very pleased with the results.

[DollyCali]

my mom LIKES your kind of cooking.. the English/Amish/Meat & Potatoes w/gravy.

I do a LOT of ethnic cooking.. Italian, Thai, Mexican..and it is good but not her fav. When I do try, there is always something "wrong" if you know what I mean.

I also am NOT good in the ethnic Slovak type foods she likes.

I need to get more of her recipes while she is here to share them,

Just had my hot bath/soak. My back was REALLY spasming.. I fell on the floor at Walmart & wasn't sure I could get up..Sharp knife pains.. tough to be 32 & in such rough shape. Trip to chiropractors tomorrow & MUST line up SOMEHTING for kenneling my dogs..NOTHING is working along those lines...

bor now will get to sleep.. night sweet ladies.

OMG! You fell at Walmart? Oh Lord. Please let me know what the doctor says. I'll worry until you do.

The queen can't watch your dogs?

[snugs]

Have I missed something Dolly are you going on a trip seeing as you are talking about kenneling the dogs?

What sort of food is Slovak is it similar to Polish and Hungarian as we now have a lot of Poles in Ashford a lot of the local shops are starting to carry Polish and Hungarian food for them. After Christmas/New Year I am going to try the Polish bread I am told it is very good and different from traditional British bread.
