Pictures of London

I stayed in London for 7 days
Everyday I walked at least 8 hours to see as much as I could while I was in London that ended up having blisters on the bottom of my feet. Having blisters is not the first time for me from long walk. When I went trekking the hilltop tribe village in the northern part of Thailand years ago, I had blisters with blood for the first time in my life. I was suprised to see it, but had to keep going with other people. It was painful.
I’m always interested in people and food wherever I go. So Graffiti on the wall, or people’s fashion and their markets get my interest more than famous Big Ben or London bridge.
Westminster Abbey

Tower Bridge

Thames River

Entrance door of a shop near Windsor Castle

Salad about $14.00 of American dollar

This card is used to take the subway. I don’t know why it is called as Oyster card. English love oysters? : )

On top of this pillar, Admiral Nelson’s statue is attached. I tried to zoom in , but still can’t see the statue clearly.

Interesting meal because the sausages and vegetables are in the bread. I want to learn to make the bread.

    Welcome back, we missed you!

    Yorkshire Pudding rises up the sides of the pan like that, as long as the pan is a bit too small. You will probably need to test it a bit, but I would divide the batter in 4 parts and put each part into a pan one quarter the size called for (or a bit smaller). This should give you the “bowl” you are looking for.

    And one little tip,,,, Put your beef drippings in the pan and heat them in the oven until they are are very hot before you add the batter.

    Thanks for the recipe, but I still don’t get it. Have you ever made it before? What I would like to learn is not only the recipe but also how to make the shape that looks like a container where you can put some food.
    thanks,anyway,
    by the way, I wear sneakers while I go trekking or travel. Do I know you?

    P.S. Here’s a recipe for the “bread”. It’s Yorkshire Pudding.

    Ingredients:
    2 eggs
    1 c. milk
    1 c. flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    Beef drippings (about 1/4 cup)

    Directions:
    Beat together eggs and milk. Sift together flour and salt. Stir into egg mixture. Beat batter until smooth and well blended. Pour about 1/4 c. beef drippings into a baking pan (11×7 or 9×9). If the beef was roasted in such a pan, remove meat and keep hot; discard all but 1/4 c. drippings from the pan. Pour batter into pan. Bake in preheated 450 oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake 10-15 minutes longer, or until puffy and golden-brown. 4 servings.

    Perhaps if you had more appropriate shoes you wouldn’t get as many blisters! :P

    Thanks,
    We have a good restaurant for fish and chips here too. I used to go to the restaurant, but not anymore.
    too greasy!
    Everyone knows that “Fish and chips” originated in England, so I wanted to see the difference of taste from ours in Toronto without worrying about fat.
    However,I would like to taste Montreal’s fish and chips too. : )
