Fields hosts not only a deli but a famous butchers

The deli is some where me and

"the lovely Ade" love to pop in

and have a good coffee a quick break and

a breakfast.

If you are one of my regular readers you'll know

However Fields serve a very creamy

light and perfectly sized coffee.

So one each of those today.

This amazing decoration

This tea pot and crockery

So after work Monday I really needed to go get some things from the Chinese supermarket

There are many in Hull but the best by far is in the city centre.

I always passed the foam boxes and never gave them a thought till Monday when I saw huge crabs lobster and prawns.I toyed with not getting anything then thought heck why not.

Say hello and welcome to

Prawn and lobster noodle salad with home grown/made chilli jam for starters in The Early Bird Eater house

Bring a large pan to boil

Put the lobster in the freezer when the water comes to boil quickly

put the lobster in the pot and put the lid on for 10-12-15mins depending on the size.

Deep fry some thin noodles till they go crisp

Friday treats

I went to York the most lovely place to shop

With a friend from Leeds

See more of Brew&Brownie here

http://www.brewandbrownie.co.uk/

A lovely spot I found in York I was early so headed of the train to find somewhere nice to relax.

I had seen this place before on my walks and wanted badly to go in

I must confess I wanted to go in alone and try it out sometimes I actually don't want to share my finds till I have been there alone.

Okay a little naughty but it's a gem!

Of course I went to Bettys and Cath Kidston

Below are images from Bettys window.

Find out more about Bettys here http://www.bettys.co.uk/tea-rooms/locations/york

My partner hates musicals and says he has endured years of them with not liking them.

I personally love them I used to sit for hours as a child with my nana singing the songs dancing around knowing all the words.I can't think of anything nicer than it!
