DH just emailed -- we're going to Nando's!  I'll have my usual -- chicken breast in a pitta (medium) with rice...and maybe some ff frozen yogurt to follow.   ;D

Mmmmmm - love Nando's!  One of the first places I want to go when I'm back in England!!

Was shopping & visiting my friend in Harrogate today & really indulged at Bettys Tea Room for lunch!  Pimms summer punch drink, some kind of yummy pasta dish with a creamy sauce & ham, and a Bettys sundae (natural vanilla ice cream, summer berries, whipped cream, a biscuit & a merengue) -- soooo good & soooo decadent.  Then my friend was feeding me cookies when we got back to her house -- a real chick kinda day. ;)  I'm stuffed!

Tonight -- giving hubby leftover chicken-n-noodles, veg.  If anything, it's going to be salad and fruit for me. :-[

Chicken and mushrooms in a creamy soya mushroom sauce served with short grain brown rice.  Healthy and tasty, too.

OH...we have been watching the show on TV about the metro centre...we have the Trafford Centre down up here...its something else! Chiquito's was good, but it didnt have much of a variety on Mexican foods...and they dont give you free chips and salsa either... :(I got my husband to try a Chimichanga, his first, and he loved it...course he didnt try the one with the chili in it...only the mushroom and cheese one, and gave up the rice for fries...LOL..They give you large amounts, so its good value for your money...

Had a lovely picnic yesterday with my future flatmate...made a salsa with fresh avocado, had tortilla chips, found some yummy hummous with chickpeas and roasted red onion on top (at M & S), got some pita bread, and then bought fresh cherries from the veg stand near one of the tube stations. It was YUMMY! And perfect in the heat.

if it's nice this weekend, i'm stealing this idea for dave and i!!!  :)

Had it for lunch again with Roy...so nice for a picnic!  And decently light...we added a salad as well...and didn't use the tortilla chips for the salsa...used the bread.
