Some notes on food

Now, let’s move on to the weekend recap. It started off with some Korean food on Friday night. Yes… just like you read. Korean. I am so proud of my husband willing to try new things every day. They sat us down with more people on a table that had a gas grill in the middle. Nothing on the menu was familiar to us, so we just ordered some suggestions from our waitress. She came back with raw meat and veggies and proceeded to cook them right in from of us. Lettuce and sauces were served on the side so that we could build on own Korean-style fajitas. We did recognize some “seaweed” plate as an appetizer, so we ordered that. What was brought to us were extremely fine sheets of seaweed! I was like eating paper as a starter. I thought they were tasty. Ted thought they were a joke.

Then on Saturday, the sun appeared shining in the streets of London. So, we decided to visit the Borough Market in London Bridge. The market is foodie heaven, offering all kinds of lovingly sourced and created produce.

Later on that day, we had dinner at a Greek place called Bistro 1. The name doesn’t sound too appealing, but the food was tasty! Family, we definitely need to get some gym memberships soon, because we are gaining the wrong “pounds” in London.

Sunday morning we met with beautiful Marilyn and her husband, who invited us to their church. We enjoyed spending some time with them. Thank you Mariela for introducing us to such a great girl!



We walked back from Westminster to our hotel, which is located close to Trafalgar Square, so we got to enjoy one the biggest Chinese New Year’s celebration I’ve ever seen. The sight made us think a lot about our beloved Emma and Samuel back in Denver. They parents dressed them up in Chinese outfits all they long! Happy New Year Sammy boy!

At the end of the day, in order to continue with the celebrations, we decided to finish up with a Chinese dinner at the Shanghai Blues. I wish I could describe the deliciousness of the food. All I can say is that it was “goood” (Bruce Allmighty’ style) Ted was satisfied with the combination of great food, decoration and music. For those who know my husband as an “ambiance seeker,” this place is the place to be.
