Its been two weeks since I arrived back from Ireland and I am still shaking off the cold I picked up there. Due to this, I decided to take Saturday as a sick day. Saturday? Yes. I am too poor to take a weekday off/too stubborn so I granted myself Saturday as a day to sit in bed and do nothing. In the long run, I ended up spending Saturday and Sunday that way...but slowly and surely this cold is going away! Woo!
However, after feeling that I was going stir crazy at home on Saturday I headed to St. Albans for a few hours. My main goal was to get a Starbucks but it ended up being a great trip for other reasons too. As it was Saturday, there was a huge market happening in the city centre with different foods, jewelry, home made clothes/blankets, etc. As difficult as it was, I did NOT buy anything minus the Starbucks. After walking around the market, we got some gelato and then dinner. We found a great restaurant called "Bills". It was a non pub restaurant, which was a nice change from the usual pub food in Luton. I got a marinated half-chicken and steamed broccoli/red chili peppers. YUMM! There was a mix up in our order and instead of 2 half chickens and a pork belly we got 2 pork bellys and a half chicken. It benefited in the long run because then we could share our meals and get the best of all meals. There was so much flavour in everything, it was great!
After dinner, we headed back to the train station however got lost and walked 25 minutes in the wrong direction where we then had to turn around and walk up hill for most of it.
Other than my trip to St. Albans, I feel that after Ireland my life is so boring. So to finish this blog off I'm going to add a list of things (food) that I miss having and hopefully my good ol' ma can hook me up with some for the day I return at Christmas. Hint, hint mom. Hint, hint. :)
