Jon and I really wanted to like Homa. We showed up on the Friday night after this super-positive (4/5 stars) TimeOut review was published on-line, and we were happy to see the place – which spreads itself over two large floors – full. The dining rooms are spacious and have a clean-lined Scandinavian look going [...]

When I was at Bocca di Lupo a year ago, I had a lot of fun, but the service and food were a mixed bag. I left thinking that while I wouldn’t object to going again, I also wasn’t dying to revisit. However, not having been to Bocca di Lupo and being a lover of [...]
Blog Stats – Looking Back 12 Months
Posted in Everyday in London, tagged blog stats on August 23, 2010 | 5 Comments »
What with this blog turning four and all, I wanted to thank all you wonderful readers who make food blogging so totally addictive and worth the time, calories and cash. Last July my blog had 19,042 page views, and I ended this July with 23,017, so there’s heartening growth still happening. My best month in [...]
Five Years in London (and Four Years of Blogging)
Posted in Everyday in London, Travel on August 19, 2010 | 13 Comments »
Americans are sometimes accused of not valuing tradition or caring for the past. Well, this is one American who loves traditions and wallowing in the past, even if the traditions are so recently created they could hardly be so called. Jon and I arrived in the UK on 21 August 2005 carrying lots of excess [...]
“Dude, they don’t serve nuggets during breakfast”
Posted in Everyday in London, tagged McNugget Rage on August 13, 2010 | 3 Comments »
These sorts of trashy videos are my guilty pleasure. I share this one for your Friday enjoyment. Full credit (blame?) to my friend Jane for sending this to me. The best line in the accompanying commentary is hands down: “Dude, they don’t serve nuggets during breakfast. They only serve breakfast.”

I’ve lived in Angel Islington for close to five years now, and I love this ‘hood. The many food-shopping options and shopping options, generally, make me happy. As does running along the Regent’s Canal and being able to walk to work. What holds Islington back from Best Neighborhood Ever status, I think, is its high [...]
La Grenouillere, La Madeleine-sous-Montreuil, France

Poor Pas de Calais. Up until a few weeks ago, I didn’t question its commonly-held reputation as a pass-through to Paris or as a destination for an alcohol run. Happily, Jon’s rellies invited us to their weekend home in Montreuil-sur-Mer so we could appreciate the charms of a pretty French village located two hours by [...]
