I feel tired. Great company, great drinks, great food last night. But I ended up not getting home last night until after 12, with a full stomach. I woke up this morning so so tired – one of these days where you wish you didn’t have a meeting to go to and just keep under […]
Technically this isn’t breakfast, since I already had muesli when I woke up this morning. However, it is before 12 and is similar to what I’d have eaten for breakfast if I had been more alert: Sunday Times – I always buy this on a Sunday. I actually only read the magazines and finance sections. […]
It’s a somewhat concerning thing that a couple of my blogs have featured food. Prior to coming out to the US I’d lost my appetite. However, it has certainly come back in the past few days. A few choice foods: Flat Bread and Dip This is one of my favourite nibbles prior to dinner. This […]
The last time I was in Italy I had really good hot chocolate at the hotel bar. The last time I had such good hot chocolate was when I was a student in Glasgow. I remember being taken on an afternoon date to a place at the end of St Vincent Street – it’s long […]
Worked from home on a Friday. I’ve blogged about it before, but some things are just so delicious that they merit being mentioned again. I was busy until 1PM then realised I hadn’t had any lunch. So I thought I’d go round to the butchers and buy some cold meat for a sandwich. As I […]
What a week. I decided that I needed BBQ for dinner tonight. I love lamb, but people the UK insist on marinating it with mint (I hate). My local butcher does some great lamb, taking a normal rack of lamb and cutting it into individual cutlets. In this case, they only had a few left, […]
… a large stomach ! I this case, going to places where the staff remember me and what I usually have isn’t always a good thing. Last night it was the Chinese restaurant, before I even sat down I was asked if I wanted a beer. This morning I went to the butchers to buy […]
In Waitrose today. After asking the guy at the butchers counter about steak on the bone (idiot showed me something about 6cms thick- I laughed and said “I can hardly grill that”. Then my eye caught these things: Totally horrid looking ! I won’t reduce the tone by saying what they reminded me of. However, […]
For those wondering the title, it means I’m only showing you part of my breakfast. Actually, I had 2 macarons – I just thought about taking the photograph once I’d eaten one of them ! Although I was expecting rain in London, when I sat down at Burlington Arcade it started to clear up. There’s […]
I have a new favourite food. A new Chinese has opened up in Cambridge and it is fantastic. I’m actually at the point where I don’t feel I have to go into London to get decent food. The Peking of course is great and I’ve blogged about that before, but I find the ambience a […]
