The Boat House in Loch Lomond…

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

This where I was last Sunday before the heavy snow covered Glasgow. We went with my family to the Boat House near Loch Lomond for lunch. You can find their website here. The environment was absolutely superb, the decoration of the place was completely my style, and the food was very good too. We had the paella and the wine mussels.

I could also imagine myself spending lazy Sunday afternoons having tea and cakes and reading magazines and newspapers in their lounge area. We will be returning there a lot… Enjoy the photos!

Which is your favourite restaurant/cafe/bar?

Xmas shots
Bar Soba

Sunday sunny day in Glasgow and once again I found myself and my friends in the shops of Buchanan Street looking around for inspirations. Above a photo of the Xmas decoration of the House of Fraser and the funky lights of Bar Soba where I love having lunch. Their Pad Thai is unreal. Isn’t it all “extraordinary” (post about word to follow)? I was happy to visit again, what else, the Chanel stall and researching for the ONE (remember from the previous post here?) Guess what I bought!!!

The answer in the photos following:

Red stuff
Guess
CC
At Chanel
Coco
Mademoiselle
Smell me again
It is the ONE…(at least for this year…) :-)

Cream tea at “Fifi and Ally”…

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Fifi and alli

And this is what I had today! A beautiful cream tea, as they call it here, at a favourite Glasgow cafe, Fifi and Ally. It is situated in Princes Square and it makes the best fruit scones I have ever had. My friend and husband both agreed that this was the case! It does look awesome in the photo yeah? Can you imagine what it actually tastes like? These are the things the cafes back home just cannot do :-( . But hey since I live here I am so lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy them with my friends and my love.

Where is your favourite place for tea or coffee?

Take me to (little) Italy…

Monday, July 11, 2011

I know I know…I have not updated the blog for ages and I have missed it so much! Yesterday we went with some good friends on a boat trip around the Isle of Arran, had a great lunch with Caesar salad and fabulous chocolate cherry pie that my Colin made from scratch, drank champagne and bonded. I was also so happy to wear my red Vogue sunglasses my dad bought for me as a gift for the summer.

Some people above had decided to name their boat “Quantum of Solace”. I found this worth of a picture!

Today I took my dad to our favourite coffee/restaurant place in Glasgow. It is called Little Italy and it has, to my opinion, the best coffee and the best pizza in Glasgow. My dad loves it too and we go there every morning for a treat. I also love their Portuguese tarts. Yum yum!!! I had my favourite cappucino and an amaretto cheesecake.

Where is your favourite place for coffee?

I dreamed of absolute happiness…

Monday, June 14, 2010

I had a dream….I was dressed in white and had flowers on my hair…

I had a big party, dancing all night with my love and all my friends…

I drove a big sailing boat around Corfu…

I went on a holiday in Venice, where I ate beautiful food and drank the best wine (some of which was INAMA Soave and an amazing Fragolino) recommended by Max at the Trattoria Al Gatto Nero in the amazingly colourful island of Burano (also the best tiramisu and risotto I have ever had!),  I had mojittos on the most picturesque balcony of the Canal Grande, I had lobster pasta and Robolla white wine at “La Patatina”. I fell in love with the “Peggy Guggenheim Collection”. I sat at the unacceptably expensive “Florian” and went on a bicycle ride around the island of Lido.

Then I dreamed that I came back to Corfu…I wore long dresses, met my friends and had dinners and cocktails by the sea.

I went on a speed boat and swam in the tropical sea of Kerasia…

I dreamed a dream of absolute happiness….

And there it is!!!

Monday, May 17, 2010

So tonight we tried the creme caramel! And it was great!!! Very light with perfect consistency. Such a great start on my mission to perfect the dish. Mmmm I could just eat another one but I have to hold my horses being on the pre-wedding diet!

P.S. The plate is a Laurie Gates that I bought from a great shop on Sauchiehall Street, TK Max. The best things in very cheap prices!!!

Creme caramel….mmmmhhh!

Sunday, May 16, 2010

I am trying to perfect my creme caramel. I have tried 5 different recipes and it is not easy at all I have to say. Sometimes the eggs are too many, some others are not enough and the thing never sets, the other time the oven temperature was not right. I am absolutely determined though. I will get this right. I also have a recipe Giagia (my greek grandma) gave me and it has ouzo in the caramel! I got a present for my forthcoming wedding, there were 4 ramekins in the shape of heart, so it got me going again that I must try to do this right. This time I tried the recipe from Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook “Jamie does….Spain, Morocco, Sweden, Greece, Italy and France”. It is cooking just as I am posting this. Fingers crossed!!!
