Day 262 of 365: Market day

We went for a little walk around Tooting since the weather was so nice today. Came across the market in town. I love outdoor markets! I think this is one major thing we are missing in Atlanta. There may be some obscure ones downtown on Saturdays during the summer or something, but a full-time fresh market where you can get local foods would be so welcome.

Day 254 of 365: Scones and tea


This tea cafe, Sacred, was recommended to me by someone I met on the street in London. What a great place!! I had a wonderful pot of Japanese green tea and my very first scone with cream and jam. Holy cow. I don't think I'll ever be the same!

Day 161 of 365: Discovery


Ok, this has to be one of the most delicious discoveries I've had lately. Yummy. I've been VERY good and only had 2! They're nutritious right? Oats??

Day 123 of 365: Curry!


Just a follow up from this post. So here is the finished dish! I put in Quorn chicken strips, green beans, onion and green peppers. I haven't had a chance to dig in, but I am looking forward to it immensely! I've also got Trader Joe's veggie samosas in the oven... which I've just had a bite of... YUM! :) I'm just as hopeful about the curry!

Day 112 of 365: Finally!!


I've made it a point to check out the British food products area at the supermarket every time I go there. I've been waiting for this curry sauce to come back in for a couple of months now. Today, my patience paid off (ok, well, I had no choice really!) It was a bit expensive, but judging how quickly it sold out the first time, I'm guessing it will be worth it. I will probably use it sometime next week while I'm off from school for Christmas break! Yippee! :)

Day 80 of 365: Wrath?

Ok, I was going to eat just a little and be all proud of my self-control. Instead, I'm feeling wrath that this candy isn't bigger! LOL

Day 15: Look what I found!



I recently discovered my local supermarket now has a whole end cap with British products! I think I'm going to set a goal to try one each week. I've already decided I want to get some of the curry sauce. I can already taste it on some tofu or chickpeas over rice. Yummy! I want to get some of the cream in a jar, too. I was told it's for scones? Of course, the trouble is finding decent scones around here..... I also want some of the vinegar and make some proper chips! Something to pass the time, I suppose. Good thing I'm doing all that running to work off the calories, too!

Oh yeah, notice the funny sign in the top right corner! It instructs Americans how to properly read the British dating format. LOL
