All Bar One, Northcote Rd

A Birthday lunch date led us to All Bar One, which is a stone's throw from my house, but I have somehow never been to.  The sharing platter is really good, you have a choice of 3, 5 or 7 items.

L'ETO Caffe, Soho

The BEST Caffe EVER!! Right next door to Hummingbird on Wardour St, I seriously have no idea how Hummingbird is still open with these guys as their competition.

Burger & Lobster, Soho

Three down, two to go.

3rd time at Burger and Lobster and the 3rd location. So far my favourite is St Pauls. 

Lobster, Fries, Salad, Garlic Butter for lunch. Can't complain.

Baking, Shortbread

Love making shortbread as the results are almost immediate and my sweet tooth is very impatient.

30 minutes start to finish (if you don't chill dough in the fridge for 20 mins which I rarely do... See above re; impatience) add an extra 5 minutes if you like your mouth unburnt... On occasion in my excitement I forget that things straight out of the oven are HOT!!

Satay Bar, Brixton

Really only popped into Satay Bar for drinks, but the menu was so enticing that we opted for a few Satay Skewers. BBQ Prawn with a Mango Salsa and Chicken and Peanut. Peanut dip a little bit spicier than I had banked on, but the Mango Salsa was sweet and delicious so helped to balance it out. 

Gail's, Northcote Rd

Lamb and Pine nut sausage roll from Gail's for the breakfast win! Absolutely delicious!

Bamboula, Brixton

A Caribbean lunch for £7 including drinks, you can't really go wrong can you? Or can you...? I jest. Bamboula in Brixton served up a pretty decent lunch. I've actually been here before, it was almost a million years ago though and I think it was better then.

Banana Tree, Battersea

Tuesday after Ballet is "Date night with mini-me". Sometimes she chooses, sometimes I choose. We always stay local as the whole point is convenience, but it paid off for me this week when I was overcome with a migraine so bad I had to call for backup. Anyhooo... I digress.

Breakfast, Home

Healthy brekkie of Yoghurt, Oat Granola, Banana and Blueberries. One of my fave homemade breakfasts.
