Small Life in the Myst

Ever see the movie 'The Myst'? You know the movie about the book where this huge fog rolls in over this town and eventually the towns people find out that the fog has lots of HUGE bugs and insects and such that are trying to kill them? Yeah, I never read the book and Jeff made me watch it........I had nightmares for weeks! Ha, ha.......Just kidding...........only one night! Some mornings I wake up here and its so foggy outside. Not as bad as in the movie, but still, this fog.......and its the kind of fog that lingers around all day! Where I am from you might have a little fog in the morning but by mid day its burned off and its a normal day. Hm.......maybe that's where the term "London Fog" came from? Creepy........none the less!

The Myst from our back door!

Small refridgerators require small items.........right? I mean after all we are living in a country now where efficiency is the name of the game! And of course coming from a side by side refridgerator and freezer, well I am learning to cope. So this week I snapped a few pictures of the small refridgerator in our house, small cucumbers (not pickles but the size of pickles) and the "large" milk. However, I also took a picture of a slice of bread. Completely blows my mind how tall a loaf of bread is here. And portions as a whole are smaller here, much smaller than what you see in Texas. But it just blows my mind because this bread will nearly take up a plate! A regular dinner size plate. Its not twice as tall as our bread, but I would say at least a size and half! But I am also learning that bread is a huge part of their meals here. And here I am the one that's not a big bread eater. I am also learning that the Scot's love to fry everything! Jeff came home from offshore this week and told me that he had a Scottish egg. So I ask (stupidly I might add) what it was. He goes on to tell me that they hard boil an egg, peel the shell off and then bread it and deep fry it. YUCK! Of course he claims its "heavenly". Whatever...........sounds gross to me! And yes, I'm knocking it before I try it.........but sometimes you just have enough sense not to try something like that if you know you won't like it. ;)

Regular bottle of wine next to a large milk! See how small! And NO, I do not have wine with my milk!

Baby cucumbers (aka snack cucumbers)!

Little Bitty Fridge for Little Bitty Items!

BUT large toast!

And yes, sometimes the small things in life really entertain me!
