Freakscene before breakfast

Still liking my new radio. I hope 6 Music's playlist is as free and wild as it appears to be, probably not though. No time for Alice Cooper today.No early awakening from Harry today, strange as he's been awake before us most days this week. He's bein...

Tonight's menu

Grilled vegetable sandwiches with potato wedges and parsnip chips, all homemade. Seasoned with the chillis that nephew Jack grew, which I've dried and crushed. Really was delicious! They will struggle to have a better meal than this tonight at Sandba...

GOOD holiday in Canterbury

Went on holiday! Sort of. Celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary in style yesterday, went to Canterbury for a day and a night, leaving Harry with granny. We stayed at House of Agnes in the Canterbury room and it's ace, I heartily recommend it. It'...

Cereal? Soup?

Hmm I seem to have mixed up the food bowls with the baby bum cleaning bowls... Only using water on him at the moment.Another night of broken sleep, only to be expected at only a few days old. Started off very promisingly with a trip to the pub! Just ...

Canterbury Wholefoods is great

It's all vegetarian, with some vegan options. We had the christmas dinner there (just before, uh, CHRISTMAS), but this time we had beanburgers and cake. Very nice, give it a try! It's not big, so you might be lucky to get in. You can reserve a table ...

Main meals for �1 at Zizzi

See www.zizzioffers.co.uk - ah they're only �1 if you buy another one at full price! It's a trick! that's a slightly worse deal than the two-for-one that Pizza Express are doing, and it's Monday to Thursday only....

Food tired and tasteless

After eating probably the worst Christmas office lunch of my life at the Tavernetta the year before last (equivalent of a �1 Iceland frozen dinner) I finally decided to give the place another try. I definately will not be going there again. The foo...

ho ho ho very festive weekender

Started our weekend at the Christmas of Sorts night at the Whole World Cafe, it was GREAT, though the lady running the cafe was as unwelcoming as ever, perhaps it's her style... The band playing (more of a collective really) were great, I was expecti...

Remember: Eurotunnel is not as good as you think it is going to be

Had a nice weekend in Lille, marred on the way home by a Eurotunnel delay. We were meant to be on the 10pm train home last night, and there was a twohour delay for some reason. No explanation, just an automated message when you are queued up in your ...

RE: Nice Thai food no longer

have you even ate in the restaurant?!?! lol!

Its gorgeous!! It also hasnt changed hands either, there was just a bigger market for a Grill restaurant then there was for a thai restaurant so they changed it.

Clare's hotpot recipe

Making this for tea tonight, thought I would share the recipe with you...* Heat the oven to 180.* Chop a biggish onion into thinnish rings and start to fry gently in large pan.* Meanwhile make a start chopping up your veg - 2 or 3 large carrots, some...

Yeah shame

7k a month is not a lot of profit though I don't think for a place that size. Did not realise it was owned by a brewery, are you sure? I think it was independent.I heard the owners were scuppered after being fined for cutting down a tree, or somethin...

Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

Nice weekend

Had a good weekend, reasonably uneventful but just NICE! Intended to start off with a quiz at The Grand, but they called Clare on the day to say it was cancelled, for a private function. Good job she had called to reserve a table and left her number,...

How strange to compare this Wagamama review with today

Nice Thai food no longer

It is a shame but the Skuba Bar has changed hands, and there went the Thai Food. Currently (08/2008), they serve a very bad version (e.g. bad quality produced, greasy and tasteless)of pub food.

Free food at Pizza Express
