This Is My Beautiful Life By The Early Bird Eater: Dating

Monday, 12 June 2017

Hello

I have been busy with some major private work, some consultation work, cheffing and writing for a published magazine hence any break here.

I am back though, so thanks for the wait!

Today's lunch

Whipped cream cheese Welsh Rarebit

With a hot dog mustard and a French cheese.

A side of baked, heavy seasoned tomato. Over toasted brioche fingers with a hand made red onion relish.

Okay, okay I may have changed base on my place to go on a Sunday morning.

I have a sense of guilt over that, I love Harry's it's a blessed space but

Zoo, Newland Avenue

https://www.facebook.com/Zoo-Cafe-137005783497589/?ref=br_rs

Is a walk away for this HU5 girl and I love rocking up for a cuppa, sitting in peace knowing my place is a five minute sunny walk away.

I have an infinitive love for gelato and ice cream

Yes, you read right gelato and ice cream

I have had both far and wide all over the world

Upon having a foodie conversation

(very normal in my world)

I was told about

Zachary's

Of course, an eager friend took me, I have to say this far out ways any other in Hull

Yes I said it and it's true, not only is it very very pretty.

Matching the famous Harrods parlor (Yes I have been and it was divine) even dare I say my favorite and adored Fortnum and Masion

(forgive me F&M you have my heart)

This is a pure delight, devoted to splendid decor high back stools, studded and glorious.

Padded and sumptuous seating built in with ever so pretty lighting. Zachary's has no match, the blueberry frozen yoghurt was not only crisp, sweet, generously served it was deep in flavour as well as colour.

I normally opt for a chocolate anything, through sheer unwilling and devout love for it but this was a very fair trade and now I want more!

Feet dangling like a child, after all, doesn't ice cream just take you back to that time and feeling?

I work with fish most days, I never home cook fish which is crazy.

This is oven baked haddock

with a fresh mango, chipotle hot salsa

DWELL

smashing design every time

Now 'N then we all need to laugh

COS gauffing (mainly that word)

is for w@nkers, remember that the urban dictonary can make you sound like a total shitter

I asked Milly the daughter of Hull's very own creator of Hullywood Icons to describe herself

in her own words

I am a young local artist who loves to paint people! I create exciting new designs for parties and events with my facepainting, think glitter galore! I have painted at Pride events, childrens festivals and vintage fairs and love working with the children in the busy environment. Bump painting is a new and exciting way to celebrate pregnancy it embraces the beauty of your bump whilst creating a unique design to fit around you and your passions I also work with oil paint and can create photo-realistic art works on canvas. these take 3-5 weeks to produce

I have endlessly plugged Milly to friends and events teams, outgoing, fun and professionally on point Milly makes everything glow!
