New Sandwich filling, an accidental discovery

A new sandwich filling I discovered while I was about to clean the fridge:

What you need

• At least two days old bread - 2 pieces
• Half-empty jar of pickled jalapeno pepper pieces(that you bought for your daughter's pizza making at school)
•  Almost full jar of pesto("its basil mum not wild rocket, you know I don't like the taste of basil")
•  The oil left in the jar of roasted peppers(the one you like so much and when the last of the pepper is gone you don't know what to do with the oil..that one)

Method: toast the bread lightly, pour some of that lovely oil(depend how much you like roast pepper infused olive oil, in my case a lot), get a spoon and get some of that pesto spread on to the toast. Decorate with pieces of jalapeno peppers(not too much if you don't want it to bite you back..they are hot !!)

Sit back with a cup of black coffee and enjoy !!!

(p.s Now I need to I patent my sandwich filling)

Snow in 2012

It snowed twice so far in February.  For about a week it was so cold almost every night temperatures were reaching -8C.  

 Fresh snow...street view

 The fountains at Somerset House.  Our new fascination!!

I am trying out my new camera Nikon D200.  I have tried it out in London the other day and I like it.

London through our eyes

We went to London couple of times last month.  Although it is only 20 minutes on the train, it feels a world away and we venture to London  only when it is necessary.

We have a list of places we want to go: some of them tourist attractions and some not so.

First place we went was Somerset house.  We were lucky, the fountains on the courtyard were on and there was an exhibition by Ai Weiwei. To top it all, it was a sunny day.

Once inside, we were enthralled by the spiral staircase:

Second place we went to see was Cleopatra's needle on the banks of Thames.  We were excited by the two sphinxes guarding the needle.

Then we were off to have some lunch.  I read about the place we wanted to go for lunch as it was described as 'one of the places in London very few tourists visit'.  So we went to check it out.

It is the cafe in the Crypt in St. Martin in the field, Trafalgar Square.  It is opposite 'National Portrait Gallery'.  


We will be going back to see more places soon.
