So, I was on the phone gassing to my friend Simone last night and she asked me “what are you having for dinner?”
“Well…” I replied.
“You know how I like a fad…?”
“A what?” She asked
“A fad.”
“What?”
“fad”.
“What? Sad?”
“No, Fad. F.A.D”
We continued this for around 30 seconds.
“FAD Simone. F for foxtrot. A for apple. D for delta”
Finally she got it. Continue reading
There is always a spark of interest when a new restaurant opens in East London – particularly the part of East London I am in (Wanstead/Leytonstone/Leyton) and so I was delighted when my friend Cheryl opened her new venture – a Caribbean restaurant called Heart and Soul Restaurant in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton.
Within weeks of opening, Chanelle had made me envious with her elaborate descriptions of the seafood dishes she had experienced, cooked to perfection by the wonderful chef Mikey.
Chanelle joined the 30’s club a few weeks ago (Happy Birthday old cow) and booked a group meal at Heart and Soul. I couldn’t wait to see the restaurant for myself.
I’ve had my new iPhone 4 for a little over 3 weeks now and the thing I’m most impressed by is the camera. I generally try to carry my digital camera around with me for the unexpected circumstance that I may have to document my indulgences. Sometimes my iPhone has been used but it’s never really delivered in terms of quality without a touch up.
This however is the real deal – no adjustments have been made to the following images.
Foodie Claire... I am not quite sure when I became so obsessed with food but at some point I started to appreciate the quality of a good cooked meal.
My roots are Caribbean but I am working up to gratuitous attractive Caribbean food that so many restaurants are lacking.
This blog encompasses the food I cook and the places I eat. My favourite cuisine is Italian. A year or so ago I would have been fairly confident that you wouldn't find me eating Japanese or Mexican. As you can see from my posts I'm conquering Mexican (little by little). I am a fan now of sushi and sashimi and am enjoying the amazing Japanese supermarkets in Soho.
I hate risotto and think it's pointless. Prove me wrong and tell me where I can find a nice one.
