this weekend:

carmageddon is on the near horizon, but i'm still willing to venture into LA for this sweet food festival started in oakland.  so many free classes to choose from, demonstrations and FOOD FOOD FOOD to nosh.  see you there!

proper fish house

my hostess in london lives on the east side and wanted to share her favorite local fish house....and in her opinion, the best around. yeah you could go to a pub and get this classic meal served in newspaper but often the fish is dry or the chips are soggy. i have to agree with her, this place was on point.

mushy peas are a must and a typical side with the fish. some taste better than others and let me tell you, these mushy peas were delicious. loving that color!

the star of the show. check out how big that piece of fish is! skin on the bottom, white, flaky meat ready to greet you. magners cider was my bevy of choice to wash this down and a fine pick i must say.

i wish this place was my local. think i'm going to have to try and recreate this meal.
wa-la!
