Let's go TESCO!

Good morning all! Today was quite an early start to the day with having to return the rental car at 8:30 am. I was really becoming attached to the Opel Astra. A nice little sturdy car it was... Hatchbacks are a big thing here and it seems like most people have them. Just having a car to get around was really nice. After looking at a few other flats yesterday afternoon, I stopped by the huge grocery chain here called Tesco. I was so excited to finally see a stand alone store, as opposed to the little express pop ups all around the city. Honestly, even though the food doesn't taste great I do like the food sold in the grocery stores because the UK has strict food regulations. Sometimes, I feel like maybe the GMO foods in the US give me bad indigestion. Ha!

Fridays at work are always Fish and Chips days. I didn't try it last week, but decided to go for it this time. People love their Fish and Chips here--extra battered fried white fish with a side of fried chips. I guess the mashed peas balanced it out a bit? As you can tell, it was a lot of food. I couldn't finish it. It was alright. The battered fish and chips weren't crispy enough. I'll have to find somewhere that specializes in this dish and try again.

The 20's-30's group at church is having a wine and cheese event tonight. Looking forward to meeting new people and grubbing on some fine "chezz", as my husband would say. :)
