went to Evelina’s on saturday for late lunch/early dinner. it was meant for Leif as a thank you for painting her kitchen, but it ended up being so much more.

since i don’t eat meat i got some chicken with mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, basil and it was DELICIOUS. never mind the never ending supply of wine.

the weather was so nice as well so we sat outside and enjoyed the sun. then we moved inside when it got dark to dance the night away like we used to do when we lived together

so last week jules and simon decided they wanted to ‘cook’ and serve dinner. pimms, white, and red wine were on the cards.

smoked salmon for starters with prosciutto bread sticks. then we had chicken skewers with red rice for the main.

daphne and i were really impressed with what the boys did, plus it was nice not to have to lift a finger for once!

last sunday simon and i decided to cook a sunday roast. my last one before everything got hectic again. whilst the chicken was cooking in the oven we went for a cheeky stroll to marylebone high street. had coffees from the natural kitchen, and then headed home again.

the biggest luxury of all was having simon do most of the cooking, and then him even washing up afterwards.. can’t say he doesn’t spoil me (sometimes).

sat drinking a nice little aperitif before dinner. helen’s cooking dodgy chicken (muuuh favourite!) and simon and i are sat around watching the day after tomorrow.

the rest of the family’s spread around the house. the grands came today as well.

we got a scooter out in the driveway, which ended in a tiff between me and simon. i guess if your acting like a child might as well go all the way?!

anyways time for another drink and some more food..

got up early today and went for breakfast. gah i love it when the suns out, however you can’t tell whatsoever in my flat. starting to look for a new one for the fall…

the chicken is roasting in the oven with the potatoes, the veggies are ready to be cooked, and i’ve even attempted an apple pie this sunday.

sundays are the best days. good food, good drinks, and good company.

bought a ready oven bake meal for dinner today. from a company called the city kitchen, got the spanish chicken one and it smells delicious.can’t wait until i can actually eat it, hehe.

i always forget the portions here are ridiculously big. i feel like the crispy chicken tacos i had for dinner included a whole chicken.

feels so weird when you’re stood at the bar and the bartender asks you want you want to drink.. the first thought that comes to wine is “i’ll have a small glass of house red, please” but nope, drinking age is a full twenty-one years here. ridiculously annoying. so diet coke it was for me tonight!

now i’m sat on the couch like a beached whale watching a movie with my parents.

i love sunday’s. i always have. tired lazy days where you don’t do much.

used to be when i spent time with the family, but now i’m on my own i’ve got to find other ways to spend it.

so simon and i have gone to the farmers market off of marylebone high street, and went to waitrose for some chicken and peas.

sunday roast chicken

so a sunday roast it is! so excited, my stomach is already talking to me.

went to the store this morning with simon to get some fresh bread and some pate from the swedish shop.

tesco’s doesn’t really do fresh bread so we decided to go to waitrose on the high street, ended up at a sunday market instead! got some yummmmmy bread, veggies, apple juice, and a free range chicken.

then went to waitrose to pick up some essentials for a sunday roast! my god, they’re converting me to a brit! eeeeeek.
