Foody Update!

OK so its been a busy week in crazy Nicola's world. And I haven't had the time for much cooking...but I have for eating! So here's what I have been munching on.

This week I was in London's Covent Garden, and giving up on queueing to go to Wahaca, my, brother,  cousin and I trotted round the corner to this small little Mexican place called La Perla.

Unlike Wahaca, is essentially a bar, that serves some food. It had a wonderful feel and some very funky decor, particularly in the toilets! It felt more like a Mexican bar/restaurant, than the chain-restaurant feel of wahaca. Food was fairly standard, but good. We all enjoyed the fajitas. Service was good and I would say it was fairly priced. Margaritas - were very good...hic...even being the non-drinker I am, I enjoyed three.

So also this week I went to this moderately well known north London Chinese restaurant. Pretty good, pleasant service when the staff understood you, and overall not a lot to write on the place. If your reading this...you probably know the place.

The only thing I have had the time to make this week was a loaf of bread. When I wasn't working last year I became quite the bread maker and its really easy once you know what your doing. Anyhow, will upload photo and recipe tomorrow....promise!!

But for now I best get into the kitchen as I have some family for dinner tomorrow.....

oh....whats the menu you are wondering?

....tune in tomorrow to find out.

HAPPY EATING!
