On the promise of American Food #1

Hopefully, next year, I'm going back to the states for a holiday. I won't have been back since a History and Sociology school trip to New York & Washington in my final year of sixth form, over a decade ago. In that time I've consumed daily amounts of US Television and cinema.

I promised my husband for his 30th birthday that we would go to New Orleans, we put it off for a year so we could save enough and at some point soon we'll actually go and book it - or else we'll put it off for ever...

Anyway, I'm so super excited, I get to eat American food, in America again. My pinterest addiction and my selection of expensive, imported pop tarts at work has only fed my desire for honest to god, in now way good for you American food.

A little annoying it was a Rick Stine documentary on e food of the deep south that made me really hungry (rick Stine is on my top 3 list of tv chefs that annoy me) but watching all the arrived chicken just made me so excited, I'm just a little concerned that we'll get out there to find Pete can't eat anything...

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes...
