A Quick Hop

A quick hop across the pond for a long weekend (or as they say weekEND) to shop for a wedding dress for the eldest and had a nice foodie weekend. We had a nice sausage and mash at a pub in walking distance from her flat.

What would a Sunday be without "Sunday Roast." I couldn't decide which I wanted the chicken or the vegetarian. Well they were out of the chicken so it was decided. It was really flavorful. It was grated parsnips, cranberries, walnuts, peanuts, and some seasoning. The roasted potatoes and carrots were really good and the kale was nice and tender. The Yorkshire pudding was OK - I think I've had better. I think I've made better?

Heading home I made a quick stop at Paddington Station for the Heathrow Express and a Cornish Pasty. Alas it was not as good as they used to be. Mostly pastry, hardly any filling.

Lastly what would a trip be without bringing back chocolate? I used a compression bag for my dirty laundry so I had plenty of room for chocolate and tea (not pictured here). It was lucky that it is close to Easter. I was able to get those mini eggs. There were a few additional packages but I don't know somehow they disappeared somewhere during my 2 hour flight delay??

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Nothing in the Larder

Well there's nothing left in the freezer except some peeps from Easter.  Shockingly they are good until 2016 - that's reassuring huh? This raises a few questions: Why do I keep peeps in the freezer? Well they are delicious frozen.  I don't know why I havent eaten them yet??? Why is the freezer empty? because we are getting a new refrigerator. This one is 15 years old and quite frankly it owes us nothing.  Every once it a while it lets out a big sigh. We figured we better replace it before it lets out one last final sigh. Why am I calling it the larder? Well I think of that Simpson's episodes where Moe calls Homer fancy for calling the garage a garage and not a car hole. I know it's not the same but it just makes me laugh and gives me an excuse to find that clip on youtube. So the delivery is set for the end of the week. We moved everything from the freezer to the downstairs freezer. The only thing that got thrown ou...
