Except I am stuffed! We decided that we are going to go out to dinner at least once a week; I think we could eat out every single night here in London and never go to the same place twice. So far we've been to a wonderful Italian place (2 weeks in a row!) and tonight we went for French. Ooh la la. Lovely place, lovely server, working all by himself and doing a magnifique job. They offered a 3-course meal for 19.95 (pounds of course, but still a good price if it was $.)
Kyle went for the traditional coq au vin, Chris had halibut, and I arc de triumphed with the choice of rabbit - it was amazing! Think it's the first time I've had it, and it wasn't hard to not think about Bugs and Thumper, tho' Kyle did try to make me. Kyle had the foie gras (or as Chris attempted, "fwah gwah") as a starter and it was a winner.
The nice thing is that these places are within an easy walk from home. And there are plenty of spots to try right near by before we even have to stray out of Hampstead.
Grocery update: I've now ordered online twice and I think I can get used to it! You need to order a minimum of 40 pounds worth for them to deliver (that's monetary value, not weight), but we all know how easily that can be accomplished. There is a delivery fee, but get this - on both of my orders I've gotten a voucher that gets me a free bottle of wine with my next order! Cancels out any delivery fee as far as I am concerned. I am definitely putting this on the list of things that I really really like about London.
Bonsoir, mes amis.
