6pm is not too late for a nap is it? I asked that of the wise twitterati and it was with great glee that I was told, no, no 6pm is certainly not too late for a nap.
And lucky that because wow, did I need that nap. My weekend began with a fancy dinner and ended with an indulgent lunch, and in between? There was a lot of gluttony going on and like any good little piggy, I just needed to sleep it off.
WOW it has been competition week in bloggersphere this week! Thanks to American Express, some of us bloggers have been able to give away tickets to awesome events during London Restaurant Festival, hopefully bringing some foodjoy to our readers!
I had two scrumptious giveaways: a dinner at The Criterion Restaurant and even more excitingly, an exclusive invite to a special 10-10-10 event at The Blueprint Cafe, pairing chefs Jeremy Lee with Michael Smith from The Three Chimneys in the Isle of Skye for a fabulous lunch valued at £200.
So with over 30 entries for each competition, I handed the fate of my readers over to random.org…
… and our winners are…
Don’t ever say I don’t love you guys!
Because I love y’all so much (and because I know you want to win a meal to celebrate London Restaurant Festival), American Express and I are offering tickets for my readers to a special Festival Event – the American Express 10-10-10 – worth an amazing £200!
From confit to crème brulee, manuka honey to miso, grouse to gravalax, London’s restaurants offer a delectably diverse range of flavours to tempt all tastes. The London Restaurant Festival (4th-18th October 2010), proudly supported by American Express, is a citywide celebration of eating out designed to encourage Londoners to make more of our rich array of restaurants.
And here’s your chance to be part of the excitement!
On Thursday last week it was a stunning 25°C. It lasted all of a sad 24 hours and on Friday, winter decided to rear its ugly head, pummelling London with big fat freezing raindrops and dropping the temperature to a positively chilly 13°C. 13 degrees man, and for those who have no idea how Celsius works, that’s a meagre 55° Fahrenheit, which in my opinion is simply Not Warm Enough for September.
It happened again. This time last year, I remember waking up, frothing at the mouth excited like someone was giving me a puppy wrapped in a ticket to Vegas on Christmas morning. But it wasn’t Christmas and there was no puppy. A ticket to Vegas did come eventually, but that’s not the story. The story goes that this time last year, I was so eager to get to Taste of London that I made Panu run to the event.
For realz.
