Iberica Tapas Lunch
For months I have wanted to try Iberica for their £20 four tapas lunch special, ever since they provided a pop up event in our building lobby. Everything I sampled at that time was delicious. I even purchased packages of chorizo and manchego at that event. However, I wasn’t able to entice Mike to join…

Wings Wednesday
BrewDog has an all you can eat wing special every Wednesday, but you have to book it at least 24 hours in advance. I have been trying to get Mike to work from home on a Wednesday so that we could go. I finally gave up and went by myself. I loved that they had…

Noodles & Churros
Here is a random photo of us outside the theater where we saw Backstairs Billy with Penelope Wilton (from Downton Abbey) and Luke Evans (from Beauty & the Beast and The Hobbit). In this installment, we’ll take a break from fashion and go back to food, noodles in particular. Indulge me in a trip (or…

Year of the Dragon
Not sure why this didn’t post yesterday. Chinese or Lunar New Year this year was February 10. Mike’s company’s celebration was early on January 20 at Ivy Asia. Wow, what a celebration it was. I was glad I went out to buy a red dress for good luck for the occasion. We were greeted outside…

Cruise Food
There is no doubt that the food on Celebrity cruises is better than Royal Caribbean. I gained 8.5 lbs. on our 10 day cruise and that’s after we decided halfway through the cruise to stop going to dinner and only eat two meals a day, like we do at home. Neither of us does very…

ROKA
Helen and Todd are keeping us well fed. Thanks to them we enjoyed another amazing meal at a Canary Wharf restaurant, ROKA. I heard great things about the restaurant. We decided to indulge in their Christmas Eve weekend brunch, which was another delicious, artfully presented and top notch meal. ROKA restaurants are known for their…

Angus Steakhouse & Ole & Steen
After touring Kensington Palace we went in search of a restaurant where we could eat like royalty. HAHAHA! We ended up at the Paddington location of Angus Steakhouse, which wasn’t quite what Mike had envisioned, but up until then, it was the best steak he found in London. I had the ribs and we shared…

Supper Club
Mike and I were intrigued by the Vertus Supper Club idea. The October event was scheduled to take place in the Parlour in our building, so it could not have been more convenient. Our wonderful team of Dot and Brogan booked Chef Paule B to prepare a marvelous six course meal to honor both Black…

Too Good To Go
(Updated 8-29-2023 adding first two paragraphs and new photos of recent Too Good To Go goody bags.) I had my very best and worst value for the money goody bags recently. The best was from Greggs with 8 items for a mere £2.59. Plus everything was delicious, with the best item being the steak bake,…

Day at Sea and Spain
Mike finally made it to Spain. I’m here too, but I was last in Spain 24 years ago. (I’m struggling to get photos uploaded, so I’m not sure if any of those I wanted to share will be visible to you or the order in which they will appear.) After the last post we walked…
