First, a disclaimer: this is a short post. And it doesn't have a whole lot of jolly old England in it. Or jolly old English food, for that matter. But it's October 28, and I have a bit of MoFo fatigue. You got a problem with that? Take it up with this guy:
I mean, these guys:
I pity the fool that has MoFo fatigue!
As you can tell, we did visit Madame Tussauds. And no, we're not proud of it.
We also had to visit Buckingham Palace:
And take a stroll through St. James Park:
I don't remember a whole lot about what we ate on this particular trip, but I do remember ordering Thai takeout, bringing it to our hotel room, and watching Notting Hill on the telly. I mean, why actually go out and see London (right outside your hotel room) when you can just watch a movie of it instead? To quote The Biscuit on Ally McBeal: Pleeeaaase. I can't believe we did that!
Here's a healthier version of the Thai takeout we got in London: a Thai-inspired main-dish salad.
Baby romaine lettuce, carrots, broccoli, scallions, pineapple, red and yellow peppers, peanuts, and chickpeas, drizzled with a spicy cheater's peanut sauce (peanut butter, lime juice, chili powder, and tamari).
It's about as authentic as the waxy Mr. T, but it was tasty nonetheless. Just like Mr. Grant.
