On Saturday took
ewtikins out to dinner at a Romanian restaurant near Old Bailey. Good thing neither of us is vegetarian, as there wasn't a single main dish on the menu that did not include a generous helping of meat. We ordered the meat appetizer (mititei, sausages, chicken liver, breaded fried camembert, sautéed mushrooms, and fries) to start, and then she had the fish of the day (salmon) and I had the Romanian stew, which isn't really stew at all but just a bunch of assorted fried meats (pork chops, sausages, and bacon) with a side of polenta smothered with a fried egg and copious amounts of mild shredded cheese. For dessert we had something the waiter insisted was a traditional Romanian pastry cream, but which I immediately identified as Hungarian krémes.
Afterwards we went to
timeplease's birthday party at his flat above his pub. Many people in attendance, most of whom I knew (and some of whom I did not), including
blue_mai,
doseybat,
hazyjayne,
shermarama,
abigailb,
pfy,
karen2205,
ruthi,
fluffymark,
pplfichi, and a brief semi-appearance by special virtual guest
ladymysla. Amazing how many people I know from real life have LiveJournal accounts; makes me wonder if I'm the only one who didn't meet everyone else through LJ. Anyway, much eating, singing, ferret-stroking, and merry-making was done by all.
