chester and too many chips

friday we celebrated by drinking too much wine, smooching and watching peep show.









on saturday we went to chester. the town has ruins of a roman fortress and amphitheater and is generally pretty.. like most towns in england. on the way i read about all the summer music festivals and double-checked to make sure they all really were too expensive to attend. then i thought that maybe that is a good thing.. we are getting old and i'm growing increasingly sassy.. i don't want to be that wasted lady yelling at teenagers for smoking and making out.

we walked the city walls, peeped into gardens, saw fancy gated schools and a horse racing track and lots of families with strollers and kids eating ice cream in the park. we got lots of sun, walked 25k steps [according to petey's phone] and failed to finding a restaurant for dinner[as usual]. instead we ate lots of potato chips and sat in the grass.

later on at home we had pasta and margaritas made with lime cordial and wannabe-el torro. i fell asleep on the couch ad peter woke me to eat cheese toast.. so sweet.

sunday we had the best edamame, green bean, sugar snap pea and arugala [rocket] salad with fish for dinner. we then ordered a crap load of groceries from tesco direct and had them delivered, as carrying cartons of soy milk and cases of cider got old real fast.

tonight we each ate a giant serving of homemake spinach, zucchini [courgette] and mushroom lasagna with bechamel and tomato sauce. the pan weighed 15 lbs and now it is in my belly.
