broadway market

another weekend, another friend in town! a dear friend was visiting from sao paolo for the week and after much talk and several failed attempts to take him to the market on previous trips, finally made it happen. never mind that we were at broadway the week before with two other friends who were also passing through town. can't get enough of that part of london and don't need much of an excuse to trek across the city. did try to shake things up a bit and gobble all the things we missed last week, which worked out quite well because one visit isn't enough to satiate the gluttony. the folk music had me bopping along despite being completely sober, we'd the yummiest grilled cheese haggis sandwiches that reminded me so much of edinburgh, easily my favourite english (haha) city.

mediocre scotch eggs that would've been much better hot.

more grilled cheese sandwiches and sweet potato fries (not in the photo are the awesome dumplings from dumpling shack lovingly wrapped on the spot by the amazing john li). always mean to take photos but forget because i get so caught up devouring them on the spot. happens every single time and i'm quite resigned to not having photos but hey, sharing is caring.

didn't actually have any of the juice but it made for a pretty picture, photo credits to luiz our ever agreeable houseguest.

and yummy freshly baked breads and pastries from under the railway arch. it was also here that i received some excellent news and promptly ran out to ring my brainy bff who's off to MIT, having already collected degrees aplenty from UPenn and stanford. i look at her and her amazing over-qualification and wonder what in the world i'm doing with my life.
