There is a lot of learning going on in the UK today!
I had another fun day of Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen classes at The Cotton Patch. Today I taught day one of "Take A Chance on Quilting"
The students are learning machine quilting techniques while flipping a coin or rolling a die, letting fate decide which elements are quilted where and in which color.
The students are FANTASTIC! Every teacher would love a group as great as this one is!
The shop is putting on a great lunch every day:
Mmmmmmmmmmm, tarts:
They bought "New York Style" cheesecake, just for me:
It was yummy, yet somehow didn't remind me of home.
I learned something today. These are "crisps" not "chips":
These are "chips" not "fries":
Now you know.
Dinner was fabulous. I learned about Yorkshire pudding:
And another view:
I would consider this close to a "popover" from home. I ate it with roast beef and gravy. Mmmmmmmm.
The waitresses here must all be in cahoots. I was forced, yet again, to eat chocolate cake:
If it had been served cold it would have been called cake, but since it was served warm it was called a "pudding." No, not all English is the same.
Now back at my hotel, I wanted to show you the best hairdryer I have ever used outside of the United States:
It is hung under a shelf above the "air conditioning unit." Summer here is quite a bit cooler than summer in New York.
I learned things at my hotel, too, but only after a guessing game.
Which one is salt? Which one is pepper?
I found out the hard way that the salt shaker only has one hole in it.
