Fine dining
Since Daniel got his new camera he is documenting everything we do/eat! This isn't a bad thing as it makes our tea's look very professional indeed - what am i saying our dinner is always to an excellent standard! As it is now the summer holiday i have been planning some tasty treats. We have had home made tapas that consists of garlic paprika prawns, crushed chickpeas, lentils and chorizo, mini spicy meatballs, patatas bravas, a frittata and pitta breads - this was amazing, though a little tricky to cook as you need every pan in the kitchen and quite a few hands to get it out hot altogether! I also cooked again the meal i had at Bahama Breeze in Vegas, jerk chicken with cinnamon sweet potato mash, pineapple mango salsa and seasonal veg.
Hmmmm any suggestions for what we can have next?

2012...will we make it?
Today i was lucky enough to go on our trip to the 2012 olympic site. It was a very long day having met at school at 6.45, meaning i had to leave home before 6 just in case there was a problem on the motorway, and not returning to school til 7.30. We visited Stratford, the Excel centre and then got a guided tour of the site and visted the view tube just by the main stadium. It was a good day, the kids were fab but we did leave wondering if we'll ever get it all finished by the opening ceremony. Yes we are ahead of schedule accoring to the guide but there still seems so much left to do.
The viewing platform they are building in the middle of the site doesn't look brilliant, bright red industrial looking thing - i understand its meant to be kind of like the Eiffel Tower but that looks a lot better than this will! What they are doing is great and the legacy will benefit a lot of people but i don't think it has as much of an impact architecturally than Beijing did. Wehn we visited there you were in awe of its style and our stadium just feels like an other we have here. Wembley is so much better. I don't know, maybe i'm just bitter as we didn't get any tickets but you have to ask the question...will we make it?
