June 7th. London Tea

This weekend was a celebration of eating. Although it does not feel that celebratory anymore. It is a good thing the weekend is over since some discipline is way way overdue.

This Saturday Dan went around his business and kids and I checked out the Transport Museum @ the Covent Garden. It is a very nice museum and is put together well. We started by taking the elevator to the second floor. The dial on the elevator started at 2014 and then went down to 1800.

Georgia was mesmerized by that. We got out and saw a palanquin and then some horse-drawn omnibuses. We continued our tour and gradually made it back to the ground floor where a multitude of the familiar red buses was waiting.  

 

For lunch we met up with Victoria S. and went to our favorite Dishoom. We got the last remaining table in the basement. At this time we focused on covering the gluten-free portion of the menu. It did not disappoint. And had set us all forward by more than a few pounds.

Placement is spot on

After lunch we explored a few tea shops starting with East India company a few steps away. Then we caught a quick snack at the Borough market (we owed it to our guest to provide the thorough coverage of the local culinary attractions.

Dragged our semi-conscious bodies to Busaba Eathai for dinner. Seriously. That's why there has not been any (confirmed) contact with the aliens. They are afraid we will eat all their food and them too. This a totally probably threat.

On the familiar subject of bread and circuses, we had been hooked on "Lie To Me" show. And so in the last few hours of the evening, we had been doing the mini-marathons consisting of four shows. Thank god the last season is coming up soon.
