Cabinet War Rooms & Chili

Following classes this morning we headed for the Cabinet War Rooms in Whitehall. I should really say that some of us headed that way because several are ill. I'm hoping it is only a bad cold that is making its round. We have one case of a serious sinus infection and we think there is one case of strep throat. We are working at getting some antibiotics.

Those that went to the Cabinet War Rooms and Churchill Museum had a good time. As we have come to expect, it didn't go in the way I expected. We had arranged with the Museum office to walk through for an hour and then they would do a presentation regarding London in World War II. When we arrived, no one had ever heard of such a presentation and we never did find who or where we were supposed to be. It was a good place to visit. It is hard to believe that this vast compound was created across the street from the House of Parliament and no one even knew it was there. The area around was hit by bombs, but they said there was never a direct hit on the war rooms.

Tonight Keri made chili for everyone. She tracked down all the ingredients and made cornbread, served Doritos and dip, brownies and After Eights. She served Dr. Pepper, Coke, Diet Coke, and Fizzy Orange (our new local favorite). It was a big hit. The way everyone ate, I think they must all have been very hungry. There was little left over.
