Fresh cottage cheese + too many rolls. Courtesy of my mother in law.

How about not where I'm at a.t.m.?

Neh, no such person on GL leaps to mind at the moment.

Generally... i know i'll be doomed but i somehow find annoying ppl who spend most of their lives on the net instead of spending their precious time on sth more productive... Thus, some of the ppl from the GL could be included here.
And .. i hate the boastful and too talkative ones.

I've always thought breakfast is the best part of staying in a good hotel. No fuss shopping, preparing, washing up and the selection of foods can indeed be orgiastic.
One of the best I've ever had in Poland was in Art Hotel in Wroclaw.Rafał Janta edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.08.08 o godzinie 23:42
