Hey, as soon as **ianzin** gets the grubby fiver I sent him I’ll find out what you and **pingalondon** got up to in the ladies while switching clothing. Just you wait, young lady… OTOH, a substantial donation of non-white chocolate chip cookies would go a long way towards diverting me from this line of enquiry, hint hint… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gyrate \* > \*\* > OTOH, a substantial donation of non-white chocolate chip cookies would go a long way towards diverting me from this line of enquiry, hint hint… \*\* So that’s white chocolate chip cookies (cause I really don’t want to be turned into a frog, like poor **garius** was), ginger cookies (for **Tir** ), mine pies, and milk chocolate chip cookies. Gah! Do you people not want me to sleep the night before the DopeFest? 🙂 ---

More food commentary: all food is welcome! I would probably join any folks interested in a curry run, jet lag permitting, because the more authentic London experiences one has, the better (plus I love Indian food). Pastries are good, too. I suspect any that are provided will be consumed. If time permits, maybe I’ll bring some homebaked ones myself…will I get hassled in Customs? Any requests? I make a mean chocolate chip/macadamia or chocolate chip/hazelnut cookie, or even rugelach, but the latter dough is a pain in the neck because of the cream cheese. Do you guys even have rugelach? Here’s a recipe, to give you an idea (and as you can tell, like all true Jewish soul food, they sure aren’t diet food): [http://www.cookierecipe.com/AZ/Rugelach.asp](http://www.cookierecipe.com/AZ/Rugelach.asp) ---
