Mishkins: WC2

A few weeks ago now Holly, Rosie & I went out for dinner to celebrate Holly's 24th birthday. After much debating we settled on Mishkins, a kind of Jewish deli with cocktails. We were actually meant to go there for my birthday back in February but a hangover disaster meant we had to postpone. 

The dishes are based loosely around Jewish comfort food and oh man were they good. We got a couple of things to share - mac and cheese, some pork dogs and sliders. Coupled with a bottle of wine and it all went down a treat and the waiters are lovely too. 

October according to Instagram

How is it November already?! How has that happened? On the plus side, with Halloween over it means we can officially start embracing the Christmas spirit.

October, according to Instagram, revolved purely around food which possibly accounts for my new resolve to hit the gym and get some sort of fitness regime going before the January panic. It seemed to be a very much eat, sleep, work repeat kind of month and a weekend in the country was very much needed by the 17th. In blog news, this little page reached over 50,000 views which I am absolutely ecstatic about. Thanks so much to all of you who keep reading. This month I'm looking forward to lots of catch ups and possibly a trip to the roller disco. Watch this space.

The Rookery: SW4

Sometimes you can't beat a proper Sunday roast. I'm not a huge fan, I could never eat one every week, but just once in a while I get that craving which nothing else can satisfy. One of my favourite places to have a lazy Sunday lunch is The Rookery on Clapham Common. Last time I went (for Holly's birthday) I indulged in perfectly cooked slices of beef on top of creamy swede and carrots and perfect roasties topped with a satisfyingly big yorkshire pudding.

I'd recommend booking  a table, they can get pretty busy. But if you've got a few hours to kill on a Sunday, there aren't many better places to while away the hours with a few bloody mary's and some great food.

Happy Sunday x
