On Saturday evening Nick had hatched a master plan with Kev to have the
ultimate Mans Sleep Over. To be hosted at Kev’s whilst Jules was away for the
weekend, the plan was for them to game all night (with the aid of Nicks’ new
projector), whilst working their way through a selection of beverages and a
tonne of chicken wings. They told me that it was going to be an audio-visual
dream the likes of which had never before been realised. I didn’t believe them,
but I don’t really think that matters!
This was apparently the
best plan that they had ever made, and it was thankfully one that didn’t appeal
to me in the slightest, so I set about making plans for a day of best behaviour
and plenty of sleep. (Being on a diet sucks!)
That said, their
evening didn’t kick off until 4pm, so that left the full day to fill
beforehand.
My standard start to
Saturday is to take a little jolly down to Tekka to stock up on cheap veggies
and treats to make it through the rest of the week. Once this was done we weren’t
too sure what to do next, so we made our way over to Holland Village to locate
one particular shop that sells some special hot sauce that was essential for
Nick to get his hands on.
On our way home we
decided to check out Pasarbella, a food market housed in the old horse racing
stands that is compared to London’s Borough Market and that I had wanted to
take a wander around for ages.
Sadly, it was still a
diet day, but I am going back there the minute huge meat sandwiches are back on
the menu, because they had some incredible food on offer! Massive cheese
platters, pulled pork sandwiches bigger than my head, freshly made sausage
rolls and Scotch eggs and even huge vats of fresh paella – you name it, they
had it!
I was only able to
sample the very delicious coffee and a very dull salad, but Nick tried out the
roast pork and crackling sandwich and took some of the sausage rolls to share
with Kev that evening. The reviews were incredibly good – I need to get back to
that market, asap!
