Last week, when everyone and their mother was freaking out about the Royal Wedding, I was busy trying to blow up an air mattress with a hair dryer. And scrubbing a toilet that was seemingly never introduced to a single cleaning product.
I know, I gagged too.
So tonight I figured I should better pay homage to the Brits that I so thoughtlessly ignored.
Gabriela and I met this evening for and English-style dinner at Tea & Sympathy in the West Village. It was an adorable little spot.
I’m not usually one to order tea at restaurants, but it felt sort of blasphemous not to. So I went with the Vanilla Mint.
Classiness ensued.
For our meal, we both went with the same dish.
(lentils, onions, carrots, celery, eggplant and parsnips)Delicious! Very hearty and flavorful. For someone who hasn’t had a home-cooked meal in weeks, this came pretty darn close.
And now, with a full belly and to-do list in need of being tackled, ta ta crumpets.
