it's cookies, dammit.

so i had a conversation with my coworkers the other day. around 3pm, i had a craving (as usual), and said to my friend, k that i wanted to go get some cookies from the store around the corner, like the cookies we were eating last week. she kind of looked at me funny as if she didn't know what i meant. we discussed this for like 5 minutes, because i couldn't remember the brand name of the cookies we had previously. i said, 'you know those cookies that are packaged like a roll...has chocolate on top...blahblahblah' when she finally understood what i meant, she burst out laughing and said, 'THOSE AREN'T COOKIES, THOSE ARE BISCUITS!'

look lady, i'm from chicago, those are cookies. biscuits are what you get at kfc.

ironicly, abby emailed us today and said her coworker ate these same cookies while he was studying here in london. here tis:

http://www.englishteastore.com/cok009.html they're packaged a bit differently here, but isn't everything??

so that's what the english mean by having tea and a biscuit as a snack.

k and i have an ongoing conversation where she normally teases me with 'you americans and your funny sayings. if you spoke proper english, instead of american, i'd be able to understand you better!' but i'm slowly influencing her vernacular. i got her to start saying, 'booooor-rrriiiing.' 1 point for the american.

i should just call her a biznatch and be done with it.
