Expat in the Land of Marmite: July 2011
http://jcmglobal.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Thursday, 7 July 2011. Junk Food Horror and National Obesity. Sorry, I'm just an overworked grumpy woman these days. My sandwich is mature cheddar with red onion, English mustard, and sliced olives on a cheese and onion rustic roll, with peach, pineapple, and apple slices. It's quite civilised and soothes that coolant roar. Sprouts, for those of you who may think I'm dangerously careless - they are.

Expat in the Land of Marmite: Advertising myself
http://jcmglobal.blogspot.com/2015/04/advertising-myself.html
Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Tuesday, 7 April 2015. I realise it's been a year since I posted. This is partly because these days I tend to spend my lunches reading books, and also because I've been madly working on other writing projects. So I may as well advertise my ebooks. Early this year I published my second ebook, It's Your Round: A Survival Guide for the American Anglophile. So be sure and check them out. Meanwhile I'll try ...

Expat in the Land of Marmite: October 2013
http://jcmglobal.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Friday, 4 October 2013. Humbled by Stair Diving. Lunch today is a mixture of leftover nubs: a sandwich with slices of Wensleydale, Port Salud, and Davidstowe Cheddar with the last bit of fresh tarragon and the last bit of chopped Romano pepper. Not a bad creation considering my haphazard and sometimes mindless attempts to be conscientious about not wasting food. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Watermark tem...

Expat in the Land of Marmite: December 2013

Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Thursday, 26 December 2013. Best Wishes for a Self-Referential Redundant New Year. I'll definitely do this again. I know it's good with Stilton, and I'm sure it would be good with Lancashire, Cheshire, Caerphily, and the like. And The Royle Family. As life is becoming more virtual and less literal, why do so many young people - students especially - insist on being redundant about the literal world?

Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Sunday, 8 July 2012. Questions I Hate As An Expat. I am not now, nor have I ever been, acquainted with Bob Diamond, even though I am American." This was my reply when a British friend (who is smart enough to know better) pointed out to me that Diamond, former chief executive of Barclays Bank, is American. 1 "Why did you move to England? Why does anybody leave a job and take a new one? I'm sorry but I'm ...

Expat in the Land of Marmite: April 2014
http://jcmglobal.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Friday, 18 April 2014. On Being Bilingual, Literally. I'm curious to find out a few things about American culture when I visit. For instance, I want to find out if the word "literally" is being abused as much as it is in the UK. And I want to challenge myself to speak American English without dropping in any British terms. I will pronounce garage "ger-RAJ", I will walk down the sidewalk. Bizzarrea Photo...

Expat in the Land of Marmite: June 2013
http://jcmglobal.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Wednesday, 26 June 2013. That Yoyo Called "Weather". I’m sitting in the Winter Garden with my favourite comfort-food sandwich: Wensleydale with dried dill. I’ve also got a few leaves of curly green and red lettuce fresh from a friend’s allotment – and a summer assortment of nectarine, apricot, and mango slices. Outside. When the sun smiles pleasantly, coaxing people out into beer gardens and onto de...

Expat in the Land of Marmite. A lipstick expat from Seattle searches for meaning among queueing Brits. Sunday, 23 December 2012. More Mobile Bus Rage, The Risk of Eventual Death, and Extinct Chocolate Chips. Atrium as a potential terrorist using stinking cheese as a WMD. As if the person on the other end of the line could see her. The other party obviously couldn’t, judging by the woman’s blank, self-absorbed stare directed at the back of the seat in front of her. If they were crazy loonies talking to th...
