My bestest friend in the whole wide world!

Simply had the best day last Friday with my most wonderful friend AHEJ! Met at Waterloo, walked over the bridge and into Convent Garden for a cup of tea. Where did that hour and half go?

Later, we just had to visit a pub on Knightrider Street (for those who know us will understand, for those who don't, well, you never will!) After much trepidation we went in to the pub, the name shamefully escapes me...we are met with a PACKED pub, food being served, people waiting for take outs, the bar is very busy..surprisingly so! We were drawn to the wall adorned with the deliciously insane and the guilty pleasure of the 1980's/90's, David Hasslehoff.  AHEJ and I stared in awe.

After a light lunch and some (LOL) glasses of Chenin Blanc we ventured out to House of Fraser (HOF) I know, isn't it so very perfect....so very perfect! Some shopping around - BIBA had the most amazing dresses and purchases from the perfume and make up counters, all paid for by my most wonderful dear friend AHEJ.. I love her!

Later on to Gordons Wine Bar, THE place for a romantic/clandestine/intimate evening, (not that AHEJ are that way inclined yet), place was FULL so we ended up at the Royal Festival Hall where we heard that Bunny Wailer was playing.

Such a great day and night, loved it and would definitely recommend the venues we visited.

You simply must visit...

Netball anyone?

My good friend, broke her ankle playing netball, who does that in their 30's (play netball I mean!)

So, I go and visit her for lunch, took an age to get to where she lives. Strange place it is too, quite grim and dull but the view from her kitchen window is comfortingly glorious, such an incredible balance of the urban life. Anyway, my friend, with cast on broken ankle needs lunch....could possibly not expect her to cook so this is what I made with the items I found in her cupboards and fridge!

Heat a little oil in a pan, throw in some cubed chicken breast, add the vegetables, a spoonful of Black Cat peanut butter (which is probably one of the best peanut butters I have ever tasted) and a little Lazy Garlic. Add seasoning, spice etc and soy sauce, serve hot

Took no time at all and even though was so "thrown together" was absolute delicious..

My friend has recovered from the said broken ankle and although I see her often, I have not yet been back to where she lives (sorry A) See you Monday!
