greghousesgfI discovered a new tearoom yesterday! it's in a neighborhood in SF that i don't go to much because it's very touristy (Ghirardelli Square, about the only time i ever go anywhere near there is if friends visit and they want to do the tourist thing) but it has awesome teas and i seriously scarfed out on some yummy sandwiches, crumpets, scones, tarts and cupcakes. They even gave me a free hot chocolate! the very friendly British guy who ran the place saw that I was wearing a button with a big pic of Hugh on it so he told me he met him and of course i went all fangirly on him and I think he thought I was some noob who just knew him from House because he started explaining to me who Stephen Fry was and i was all, "Oh, I know who Stephen Fry is, i love him too, I have all the Bit of Fry and Lauries and all the Jeeves and Woosters on DVD at home," and he said he saw Hugh at some train station the day after he'd been to a live comedy show that Hugh and Stephen had been in. I was all "oo, what was he like?" and he said he only talked to him for like twenty seconds.
the weird thing about the place was the menu is, you order a certain number of tea sandwiches and sweet things and they just bring out different stuff so apparently you have to trust to luck as to what you're going to get which I think is kind of a weird system but everything they brought me was something I liked a lot. It's like is Jeeves back there? how do they know?
