What does one eat when in a hurry? Why, a banana with peanut butter and raisins, and a sliced apple! This has to be one of our favorite snacks / afternoon meals, and has seen us through times of feeling particularly uncreative. Yes – even people who supposedly blog about food feel uncreative. Hence the current obsession with “wraps.” They’re easy, they can be held in one hand whilst using the other hand on the mouse (shameful, eating at the computer), and they take absolutely zero mental capacity: slather some hummus onto a tortilla, throw in some cucumber slices, some feta, and a veggie sausage, then … wrap. Done, takes 10 minutes to make enough for two or three people, and has the bonus aspect of being quite tasty.
Now, for today’s question: titbit or tidbit? We’ve seen it repeatedly, over here, as “titbit” … which not only seems like a misspelling, but somehow very, very wrong. We realized, though, that the word “tit” is just the name of a bird. So, a titbit would be a small bite of something tasty? Sure. Go ahead and think that, if it helps.
The draft thesis was submitted for end of year review and was apparently well received. We’ll see what comes back in writing, of course; and, of course, the school year has ended, so that written critique of the thesis is a bit long in coming. In any event, though, things are still on schedule for submission of the draft which is for the viva sometime in the next month or so, with the hopes that we can have the viva before September. That would get us free of Glasgow before it starts to really get nasty around here. Woo hoo!
Things are looking better on the health front, with all labs coming back fairly normal, and with my energy starting to come back. Who knows, perhaps we’ll even make it to our pool again some day. Thank you to all of you who have supported us both through this.

Glad to read that your thesis has been well received and you’re feeling much better. Keep feeling better. I love your snack. I’m going out right now to buy some bananas and apples. 😉

Tid. Titbit would be what babies eat.
See, that’s what *I* thought. And yet, the OED online says that it’s a British way of saying tidbits…
Titbits just … sounds … so…wrong.
We are right. They are…..sooooooo wrong!
Or maybe we just have dirty minds 😉
I’m gonna have to go with dirty minds, sadly.
Also, as D. says, “Everyone in this car is right.” That’s a house rule, and a driving rule.
Ah, just catching up on reading–so glad to hear D. is feeling better! And that the thesis is moving along nicely. Oh, and tidbits, definitely tidbits.
Keeping my fingers crossed that things keep getting better on the health front!
(viz titbit, here’s what I wish–I wish I could say Lake Titicaca without an infantile desire to snicker).
HAHAHAH!
Oh, sadly, I’m the same way. Even if I don’t show it, there’s that internal snicker. ::sigh::
