English Month!

MInstead of our usual food of the week; we decided to go with something a little different. This week is going to be all about English food, drink and more. The reason for this change? The royal wedding of course. Prince William of Wales began dating Kate Middleton in 2003 when they were both attending St. Andrews University in Scotland. They had an on and off relationship, and in October 2010 Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in Kenya. On November 16 2010, Clarence House announced that the couple had become engaged. And on this Friday, April 29 they will be married at Westminster Abbey in London.

There are many misconceptions about English food. The main one being that it is terrible. That used to be the case but now it much better! Many chefs have updated English food classics: and made them taste much better. There is also English fusion food too. This week we'll go through many of these English food and drinks. One of these classic English dishes is fish and chips, one of the most famous and iconic English dishes. Which will be one of the recipes featured this week.

Also in England, many people drink tea. And many people hold tea parties. At the tea parties they drink tea and eat scones with clotted cream, and tea sandwiches. Tea sandwiches are small triangle shaped sandwiches with the crust cut off and are usually filled with smoked salmon, dill,and cream cheese, or cucumber, or watercress. We will also have recipes for scones, tea sandwiches, and much more. Check in all this week for recipes and more!
Update:
Instead of this being English Week, It'll be English Month instead. Along with English food and drinks, we will try to fit in so American food as well.

Food Review #16 Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

This review is on Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream. Don't we all love ice cream! Vanilla ice cream is an all-time favorite of many people. And many people love cookies. So what's better than having both of those together in a creation called chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I think we've all had cookie dough ice cream, I know I've have. Much ice cream has corn syrup in it. This ice cream does not. This ice cream has a great taste. It is very rich though, so try not to eat the whole pint in one serving.( although it tastes so good it is hard not to.) This great ice cream, and I highly recommend it. This ice cream has some fair-trade ingredients too; such as fairtrade chocolate. This ice cream also has huge gobs of cookie dough in it as well, which are great. I'd have to say, this ice cream is my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream of all time. This ice cream gets a 10, because of it's great taste, fair-trade ingredients, and huge gobs of cookie dough.

Sorry I Haven't Posted For a While

Sorry guys that I haven't posted for a while. The reason why I didn't post anything was because I had the flu. I hate the flu, I've had it twice this year. I'm half Greek and much of my Greek family believes that rice pudding makes you feel better. And sure enough it did.(and with the help of tylenol, mucinex, and the all-time classic, chicken soup.) But luckily, I'm not sick any more!
