Mama's Got A Brand New Bag

New Layout! This happens when you're tweaking your blog layout at two in the morning - you accidentally delete the old layout, the backup copy has gone walkabout and you figure, what the hey, time for a change anyway, and why not a new title into the bargain? Electric Abacus is so 2002.
A Gammerstang, in case you're wondering, is a very archaic term for a tall, awkward woman; a Stridewallops - antiquated Yorkshire cant - also refers to a tall, awkward woman, but one who's long-legged into the bargain. Most days, I'm definitely the former; when I slip on my heels, I'm a credible imitation of the latter. So, Gammerstang / Stridewallops is here! Pull up a chair, grab a drink and join the conversation...

Me likes me likes! It's.. very you. It seems all solemn and dignified at first glance, and then you see the title and realize, "No, that's definitely full of kook." :P
BTW? "Comprehension fail" is an AWESOME title for a tag.
How goes the holidays? :) Enjoying with femilly? (To sound all South Indianlike.)

Heeh.
Thank you thank you! To be honest, like I said, I did it at two in the morning, and as I fell asleep I remember thinking, "you're going to think it's absolute shit tomorrow when you're not half-asleep!" But I find I don't mind it too much, and full of kook works for me! :-)
Comprehension fail applies to so much in my life, it needed its own tag!
Being home is great, though the weather leaves something to be desired... but then I knowingly left the UAE at its best weather for Canada at its worst! The phemilly is great, I'm driving them nuts, but it's all good!
Don't worry, all you missed was rain and bad drainage systems. :)
Say hello and wish them a very Merry Christmas for me!
I don't recall if I've asked, but what camp are you from, wrt fruitcake? Folks are from the "OMG FRUITCAKE NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM" side and sis and I are from the nibble, gag and flee camp.
I know, I missed the rain, WHYYY do I have such bad timing?
Re fruitcake, ew. I cannot abide dried fruit type things in my desserts - I'm the sort of person who picks raisins out of carrot halwa, so fruitcake is like this epic bad-wrong-do-not-want mix. I have made it in the past, and people have liked it, but personally I'd rather eat liver. *shudder*
*grumbles*
Baking show-off... :P
How DO you do it? Ovens scare me. It seems like such an exact science! 300g of flour and NOT a mg more. You must teach me. You will be my guru. Drat, now I have to figure out guru-dakshina also.
A THUMB! A THUMB!!!
*laughs maniacally*
(sorry, that's the only example of guru-dakshina that comes to mind... :-S)
