A Girl's gotta do what a Girl's gotta do...

Our last Girly dinner evening was back in 2012...





The night was a success. We made homemade PIES (yes I know, such ladies)! We made slutty brownies (Thank you Rosie for the Recipe). We also made garlic bread; mozzarella wrapped in parma ham, mozzarella in breadcrumbs, cupcakes...OH you name it - we made it! 

 



I'm pretty sure you know where I'm going with this? YEP, It was time to dig out that Girly table cloth, invite the Girls round and eat the night away (with another Ladette meal of course). 

STACKED BURGERS WITH A SIDE DISH OF HOMEMADE WEDGES.

I strangely enough have minimal photos from the evening. Perhaps I was a tense hungry host? Or perhaps I just so kindly allowed my friends to eat their meals in peace for once?
Don't threat, I still took a few!

Running down the centre of the table we had plates of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella and fried onions. We each had a side dish to cram as many of our homemade (chinese seasoned) wedges into. We had our own stacking stick so we could be as greedy as we wanted with the toppings...



 



My Sister was on Burger duty...
(Literally mince mixed with egg whites, I never knew burgers were so simple!)



I'm not friends with red meat so I gave Nando's a run for their money and got stuck into a stacked chicken feast! mmmmmmmm.



My little Bro was on onion duty...
  (Apparently he's the best in town when it comes to frying onions!)


I made sure to capture his latest purchase in my photograph. My Sister and I have taught him well, he returned home from New York with a brand spanking new Michael Kors watch on his wrist. I wish I was as fashionable as him at 15 years old (I'm pretty sure I was still wearing my Pocahontas watch at 15). 

My sister makes it quite obvious that she despises my love affair with taking photos of food. However I ignored her daggers and rather speedily captured her stacking the stilton and (the very best) onions onto her burger!


Aimee, Sarah and Di all bought treats round for the slumber party after (whilst I tucked into my gluten free, wheat free, EVERYTHING FREE treats). I keep telling myself this specific diet is only for 8 weeks, however my symptoms have started to improve. Do NOT tell me I will be shopping in the 'Free From' (or should I say 'cardboard') isle for the rest of my life!




Aimee and I pretended it was Christmas and whacked out the Coffee Baileys like you do... 


Cheers to a great night Girls!

Obviously we couldn't leave 'BABY B' out! After finding out 'BABY B' is now a 'GIRL' we wanted to purchase her something beautiful and something pink...

 


These pretty matching Joules garments scream the word broody even to a Man!

Anyway until next time, cheerio my friends!

A festive London trip...

We were feeling a little peckish on our journey to London so we decided that a pit stop was needed. Not for petrol, for BURGERS! This was such a wise decision, the burgers went down a storm! 

My Sister's blue cheese and onion ring burger
Burger cravings?? If so, I urge you to get yourself down to Pitcher and piano! The chunky chips were amazing too, I've been daydreaming about them ever since!

With burger bellies we were back on the road...

Arriving in London I was a little snap happy (as usual) so here I'll treat you to a few of my favourite photos...

HARRODS

Taxi

Oh Harrods I do LOVE you!
SO pretty!
beautiful window displays...
Vogue house looking festive...


It was time to check into St.Pancras Renaissance hotel (I wish) to start getting ready for our night out. We went to JALOUSE club in Mayfair. They have the BEST ceiling...look how pretty it is...

Shine bright like a diamond.

Everyone deserves a drink at Christmas!



Aimee, I, Mandie

Aimee is one of my bestest friends so I'm sure she will be popping up in lots of my posts. She's just like a Sister to myself and Carrie (who is my actual Sister).


Carrie & Aimee - my beautiful sisters!

We had a FAB night in Jalouse, it was one of the best nights I've had in a long time! At 5am we were feeling a tad peckish (when do we not) so we headed to VQ in Chelsea. VQ is open 24 hours a day...so if you happen to find yourself absolutely starving at crazy hours in the morning then this is the place to go!


The 24 hour life...

 Believe it or not Aimee and I resisted the burgers, we ordered the chicken club sandwich...talk about a carbacide day!

And this wasn't even to share, this plate was all for ME!


To accompany the club sarnies...

 The others opted for spaghetti with meatballs. Baring in mind it was now 6am, this seemed like a very odd choice if you ask me!


Wine & dine

I wish I had room for the buttermilk pancakes however I decided sleep sounded like the right thing to do.

I had to pop to A&E this morning for a quick xray! I managed to get glass in my foot and the cankle was on another level! Luckily my poor little fat foot is all ok, I'm just praying this swelling goes down. It's really not a good look!

A quick Nandos to fill our bellies (like we needed more food) then we were back on the road home.

'Driving home for Christmas with a thousand memories'

Oh and I couldn't say no to a few festive snacks to keep me occupied on the journey...

Twinkle Twinkle little bars...
