Just cradle that tiny wrapper in your hands... ah, I feel like I'm thawing as I type...<BR/><BR/>Regarding Ooze... As I commented at City Slicker, the slogan alone is enough to make me want to avoid them. Slow food ought to be cooked slowly, and I for one would gladly wait 40 minutes or however long it takes to be served a good, freshly stirred risotto. Having said that, I think I'll have to try it. I even ate at Pollo's... how much worse can it be?Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598718532932773138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11948033.post-1163012279322718972006-11-08T18:57:00.000+00:002006-11-08T18:57:00.000+00:00Always brings back memories of going to see the li...Always brings back memories of going to see the lights (as a child) in Oxford Street with my uncle, probably the first time we had roasted chestnuts and I've never stopped loving them since. Winter is my favourite time of year. Unfortunately we don't get any snow this side of London because we've polluted our air so much with shit that even though our ground temperature maybe -6 it only rains because the atmosphere is not cold enough, or we get sleet at most.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
