food (roast, Japanese, Mexican, Oxonian...)

Well, it's been a long time again since I last wrote. I've been quite busy recently with school work and I've used most of my free time this week writing an essay on A Midsummer Night's Dream (due next Wednesday). I'm happy with my progress so far though!

I was looking through the photos in my camera to remind myself of what I've been doing recently, and most of the pictures were of food. Well, here you go then!

A couple of weeks ago, the group from my last post - Sherry, Ollie, and Lasithi - went for a Sunday roast lunch at a nearby pub. It's something quite English!

I had roast chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and vegetables. It was really tasty, but I just could not finish it all!


Afterwards, Lasithi demonstrated some sari draping for us (she is Sri Lankan)! I thought it was very fascinating.



The next day, I had dinner at Ollie's - she had made Japanese food!


She had made miso soup and a chicken dish with diced potatoes, onion, spring onion and egg on top, to be eaten with rice! I don't really have any experience with Japanese food, so this was very enlightening and also tasted good! In turn, I promised to make her some makaronilaatikko, which is actually happening today!

I also made köyhiä ritareita (eggy bread?) the other day!



Last week on Wednesday we celebrated Wonsun from Taiwan's birthday. She's one of Ollie's friends whom I've met twice now, as well as a few others who all seem to Politics students! We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant, and it was lovely.

Last weekend I went to Oxford to visit Charlie, and that was so relaxing and lovely. Probably because we ate a lot.


We went to an Italian restaurant on Saturday, and an ice cream parlour on Sunday, which seems to have become a tradition!


And that's what we look like full of ice cream!
