- the Arsenal Football Club and the Emirates Stadium (where you can find some of the highest payed athletes in the world)
- North London Central Mosque (notorious for it's connections to Sheikh Abu Hamza, the one-eyed, hook-handed cleric allegedly linked to the 9/11 bombings)
- the "crazy CD-lady" who wears old T-shirts, spandex, and stands on the corner with her walkman and headphones, singing (guessing from her wardrobe - you can't tell what she's actually singing) along to what we can only imagine to be mid-'80's favourites
... and us!
From left: Rob, Machiko, Hana, and Stu It was lucky for us that we found Machiko, who is just as serious and mature as we are - otherwise we wouldn't be able to invite over our friends....
wait... maybe that's why we met
Ben at Portobello Road
Nicola in South Bromley
and Jon (and his new baby!) at Spitalfields Market...But in all seriousness, it's lovely to be here with such lovely flatmates. Just to give you a taste of what it's like to live in our house, here is the menu from last week:
Monday: Asian Noodle Salad with miso soup
Tuesday: Roasted winter vegetables and rice
Wednesday: Stuffed peppers and squash soup
Thursday: Eggplant Parmigiana (at Rachel and Howie's house!) and to-die-for chocolate cake
Friday: Corn Chowder and wholemeal buns
Saturday: Quesedillas with home-made Pico de Gallo salsa and guacamole
Sunday: Margherita pizza and tomato and fresh mozzarella salad, followed by Ginger cake!
mmmmm.... anyone want to come and visit?
So even though there is random yelling in the courtyard behind our house, our whole kitchen/living room shakes when the people upstairs do their laundry, the neighbours downstairs have a band who rehearses from midnight to 2am on Wednesdays and sometimes we come home to find large piles of poo on the sidewalk in front of our house... we are eating well! And did you know that today, October 28th is National Pudding Day in the UK? A day where the nation eats dessert...
...all I can say to that is
Happy National Pudding Day!
