Thank you for the biscuit explanation, I often read about them in American fiction and often wondered what they were - had thought they were maybe like cobbler topping.<br /><br />As for the line spacing, the only way I have been able to fix it is to go into the html side of things. Where it has centred rather than aligned to the right you search for that bit of code and change where it says "centre" to "align left". If you do want to centre something in html make sure at the end of the code you type /centre and put it inside the pointy brackets at the end of your code - that switches it off so your next bit of text goes back to being aligned to the left. Also where it's putting a massive space is because it's added a load of extra code basically telling it to space down. You just delete the extra code. I'm not an expert this is just what I've picked up through blogging and reading and watching a crap load of free tutorials over the years - some of it sticks :)Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-88369774065538513322017-07-19T20:31:45.030+01:002017-07-19T20:31:45.030+01:00Just seen your comment on mine, Julia about the so...Just seen your comment on mine, Julia about the sorting and labelling having to have an elastic timeline ... there has been already ... since we moved in here over 18 months ago ... although to be fair there were lots of other things to sort first, craft had to come last ...

I also hadn't thought of cheese being on everything - or almost everything. <br /><br />What a great way to keep memories (posting on the blog) and be able to look back on trips. I'll have to keep that in mind!!<br /><br />Kay<br />505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-9216317308244771962017-07-17T03:25:02.867+01:002017-07-17T03:25:02.867+01:00The states and their huge plates of food so many c...The states and their huge plates of food so many choices and as a person who has worked in a restaurant.

We were also very surprised on how HUGE the portions are when we visit the states... one is enough to share for two or three at times. And it would seem that breakfast is their best meal. The best we had was at Dottie's True Blue cafe in San Fransisco, a local favorite and people lined up for brekkie at 6am... the jet lag we had came into our favor there :) xo CheetarahCheetarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213452765176045046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-72388557321279610302017-07-16T15:01:11.545+01:002017-07-16T15:01:11.545+01:00It was fun reading your reactions to the food in t...It was fun reading your reactions to the food in the US, much the same as here in Canada, although we do have Poutine - french fries with gravy and cheese curds on top! I never really knew things such as you don't put maple syrup on pancakes - what do you put on pancakes? And cheese - I thought cheese was big in Europe, although maybe not the same way as we use it. "Pudding" I assume is dessert, for us it's a once in awhile decadent treat! I was actually happy when your font got big - my old eyes have a hard time with small fonts! Thanks for sharing!

I tried to make them once, but it was a disaster.<br /><br />By the way, now I understand why none of my T Stands For Tuesday group who live outside the states knows what 1/2 and 1/2 is. It's the ONLY way I drink my coffee. That 2% or lower milk stuff just doesn't cut it. <br /><br />Like you, I"m a very slow eater. I've said before I couldn't even eat a Tic Tac in 10 minutes. I've had to speak up before and tell the waitress I've not finished, but most of the time I just ask for a take-out box (doggy bag) and eat the rest at home at my leisure.<br /><br />In KS, you can't buy alcohol with your food unless you are a member of a private club. In fact, I think most private clubs don't serve very good food. It's like the Moose Lodge and places like that (I have no idea what Moose is, but it's a fraternal organization of some sort).<br /><br />I really enjoyed your take on the U.S. eating habits. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of diners, but I do love mom and pop restaurants.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-20592956860402052402017-07-15T18:28:03.361+01:002017-07-15T18:28:03.361+01:00i am far away from home visiting grandkids...so gl...i am far away from home visiting grandkids...so glad you had fun is USA..
