I ate (in the most simply described way) salmon with beetroot and horseradish, chicken and foie gras terrine, braised beef with mashed potato and a banana and pecan parfait. Delightful.

The Joy of Maze
I was going to make a clever pun but I imagine they've all been done a thousand times before. Gordon Ramsay's Maze is amazing though. It doesn't matter how you feel about the man himself; he's got some sh*t hot chefs working for him and even better waiters. Possibly the best, friendliest and attentive without being snooty service I've had (even better than our first visit). At £24 for four courses and £20 for the cheapest wine, I'm not sure you could beat such value. Final gush; we got a tour of the kitchen without even asking for one!

TOWIE Spotting
Off we trotted to the now famous Brentwood in Essex to Tarantino's; an Italian restaurant which, I'm reliably informed, has entertained the likes of Sam Faiers. Sadly there was no sign of anyone vaguely famous (probably for the best after sharing two bottles of Dutch courage!). The food was lovely however. Prosciutto, fig and goats cheese for starters followed by veal escalope with spaghetti bolognese (surely two Spag Bol isn't deemed a side dish but it worked).
Yesterday I also ate:
Poached Egg and Bacon on a muffin
Homemade mackerel pâté

Back!
At least I hope to be. I haven't actually been anywhere either and I could give lots of excuses as to why I'm so lame but, let's face it, no one really cares! So just to start us off again here is my dinner...
If I remember rightly, I started off with this when I first began my blog so it's a coincidence it should be my reopening meal. I could check but CBB is about to start. The squid we bought was massive. Luckily I was on guacamole duty so I didn't have to deal with the WHOLE FISH that was inside it. This may sound stupid but I didn't even realise squid had proper mouths let alone one big enough to eat a whole fish (sardine size by the way!). I'm also a little upset that I paid for a fish (in terms of weight) that we wouldn't/shouldn't/couldn't eat. Anyway, dinner was nice but I prefer it with scallops.
New York update to follow at some point! Hopefully.
