Jelena and I decided we had spent enough time in the library reading (or pretending to), and decided to take a day off to explore Notting Hill. It was sunny and crisp; a beautiful fall day.We walked up and down Portobello Rd, had some coffees and snacks, and then walked back to central London through Hyde Park, which - in the peak of fall - couldn't have been lovelier.
We topped off the evening with dinner at a veggie/vegan restaurant in Covent Garden called Food For Thought, which came highly recommended by my friend's Christian and Susan. The lines scared me away last time I walked by, but we managed to squeeze in this evening.
I've been having a really rough time being a vegetarian here, since I don't have any kitchen access, and I'm (theoretically) living on a budget. This has meant that I've mainly been eating cold sandwiches and salads, and have NOT been getting a very balanced diet. But tonight I had winter root vegetable mash with wild mushrooms and vegetables. It was a piping hot bowl of veggie love, and exactly what I needed. I love you, Food For Thought! I will see you soon!
