substitution of the day...

This one is a laugh...not that I get my meat from Tesco, but I do get bread.  Never thought a loaf of bread would equal a whole octopus....

Cravings when Preggers

Oy,  as I'm sure people are aware that most pregnant women have strange cravings and desires for foods which are decidedly odd. This is perfectly natural and normal with hormones going all over place (although I seemed to take quite a long time to get over mine, but I say I'm SPECIAL , so that's OK).

So to share and  get rid of any stigma I will share with you the cravings and foods I had during pregnancy : 

• Fried Banana with chili and ice cream
• Cold beef burgers & custard 
• Hard boiled eggs 
• Lot's of ginger beer ( I normally can't stand the stuff!)

If anyone else wants to share, please feel free to do so.

Strangely Placed restaurants?

I was reading the Metro on a train journey from London a couple of days ago and there was an article on the following ITHAA restaurant in the Maldives... part of a luxury hotel chain experience. Not that I or my husband would be able to afford a £190 meal per person-besides which  it wouldn't be Kosher & children aren't allowed for evening meals-  but there does seem to be something of a pull eating in a water free water tank (personally I think the design as impressive as a roadside service station) with fish all around. 

I wonder what the first restaurant in a space station or another planet would be like & would anyone pay for this ? Time for the imagination to wonder; glass domes on Mars, lunar colonies with egg shaped habitats, space stations orbiting the earth; space stations inside the gas giants. Wonder what they would be like? Please share your ideas and also do readers know of any other strangely placed restaurants?
