I'm Here To Stay

I'm back again and now I'm here to stay!
We simply cook and eat too good for not sharing it!

Me and Big Ben (cold.very cold.)

I stopped interrupted blogging when we went off for our UK weekend:

It all started with a friend's birthday party with Brazilian party food and homemade cake and truffles in the afternoon. As we stayed only for one and a half day, we needed to fit in my beloved Indian food somewhere, therefore after the party, Mr. went to get some. While it was being prepared, he had a super chat and some beer with the Indian guy... and paid really a friendship price!

Indian variety

The first Ginger beer in my life! Love love love it - send over a box, please!

The next day we shopped til we dropped - so we needed a wholesome snack... we found "Square Pie" at the Ms Selfridges food hall. Love it!

Pie + mash + peas + gravy

Spinach feta pie + mash + peas

finally I know how a REAL mince pie tastes! the Apple Crumble wasn't the best... the Cookie ok

In the afternoon we had a reservation at The Wolseley for their famous Afternoon Tea. Really great and posh location.

Scones (ooohhhh!), mignon sweets, sandwiches

Afternoon tea at The Wolsely - very posh

In the evening we went out for Mexican Dinner with our friends.... and started off with Strawberry Margarita... unfortunately I didn't have a lot of it! I simply drank too slowly (or the others too fast)!!! Later on we ordered also a jug of regular Margarita, which went down straight also for me!

 Our Mexican food plates (really everything was delicious):

Baked potato skin with shrimps and guacamole (that was mine)

Mr.'s dish (can't remember the name, but it was with chicken I'm sure)

Our All-Time-Favourite: perfect NACHOS

Mango sorbet (not my favourite)
