Today's song: Coldplay- Paradise
So, I'm currently applying to do teacher training (post-graduate level). I had an interview for the course I REALLY want to get onto on Thursday and heard back from them the next day. I don't want to speak too soon but let's just say that if this was the X-Factor I would be through to the live shows.So to celebrate, Edd took me for a lovely meal at Strada! We had a 241 voucher so we were going to go anyway, but had starters and puddings as well- decadent or what. I haven't been to Strada that many times but I always have the same thing, which is very boring of me and not what I usually do, but I love my favourites so much that I just don't think I would enjoy anything else as much.
I started with 'Gamberoni'- the most amazing king prawns in tasty tasty chilli, garlic, white wine and lemon sauce. It bothers me a little that my favourite prawns are at a chain restaurant rather than a little tapas restaurant in Spain but what can you do? My only complaint is that the dish comes to an end!
I moved onto 'Pollo Milanese' which is basically breaded chicken with a tomato sauce but it is my favourite Italian meal (Carluccio's is even nicer). I expect real Italian food fans would laugh at me and give me some ravioli but again- what can you do?
I finished with panacotta, an espresso and a shot of limoncello. The limoncello was on the house because they took quite a while between courses but I didn't notice to be honest- I prefer a relaxed pace in a restaurant.
Now I've made myself hungry, moving onto what I wore. I fell in love with this cute shift from H&M a few months ago and spent ages trying to find my size. It is on the loose side which I think looks cool but I thought I would belt it for the meal to make it a little smarter. I love the print, the length, the sleeves, everything about it. Even if my gormy face in these photos doesn't suggest it!
