my london days are coming to an end soon so leigh and i are trying to figure out our final destinations. we went back to liberty today so i could get some gifts. i needed one more stroll through the store, it's so gorgeous. next we were off to selfridges for some more gifts and window shopping.
i got a lot of beautiful chocolates but couldn't keep these english rose and violet creams in the box, we had to split one walking down the sidewalk.
our plan was to get some fish and chips for lunch, i haven't had any yet while i've been here, but we stumbled onto foxcroft and ginger in soho and we were so happy we ate there.
i had a chorizo and butternut squash sandwich (with rocket of course) and leigh chose a salted beef with cucumber mayo. they were both huge and delish. we loved how they were served on wooden boards lined with butcher paper, with a little pile of pepper and maldron salt on the side.
after lunch we each needed a coffee to wake up. they use monmouth coffee, which i hadn't heard of until today, and it was very good. mine was served in one of those porcelain cups that looks like a crushed plastic disposable cup. they remind me of lauren and derek, but maybe because leigh told me she sent them some.
it's really warm so we came home on the tube, grabbed lois from school, and sat in the garden for a bit. andrew went to milan for work and is one his way home so we're making him a nice dinner to thank him for keeping lois all weekend while we went to paris. time to get crackin!

coffee, i need some now. the food looks so good. Last night I made some abalone. I cut steaks 1/4" thick, and pounded them. Dipped in egg and then in panko crumbs and fried to perfection. Made a side of chard and ate all alone.
