Brew and Bagel

Had a little lunch date with Holly - went to a new place called Brew and Bagel in Woolton Village. It's hidden down the little alley way to go down to the back of Sainsbury's. 

It's tiny with 3 tables and a bench. As the name states they do bagels and brews - teas and coffees. 

We both got green teas and they came with a cute little tea cosy on the tea pots

I got a smoked salmon and fried egg bagel. Holly got bacon, fried egg and tomato bagel. We did want avocado but they didn't have any and when we asked what the special bag was they didn't have any left. It wasn't even that late we got there after 1:30pm. We were disappointed that they didn't have avocado and they don't do poached egg only fried or scrambled but they do pancakes though which was unexpected. Holly was also disappointed that they didn't take card and should have a sign up saying cash only.

Bagel was not filling at all it was basically a snack after doing a 2 hour gym session and the day before an 18 mile run when I needed to carb up!

Carbing Up

The night before the half marathon... On Saturday night we went out for food to carb up for the race even though at this point it was 50/50 on whether I was going to run it or not.

We went to Elif on Bold Street. We did actually go to Amalia first but we didn't book and they said they were fully booked but then did't say we could wait or anything so we just left. 

It was super busy in here too and waited ages for a table. Saturday night - Comic Con and George Ezra was playing at the arena we didn't even think of booking a table!

I got the sea bass which was so much better than when we went last Christmas when I got salmon which was painfully dry in the 5 ways restaurant.

Jo got chicken thighs

Sarah and Rich got the same chicken kebab

Think Billy got lamb 

The food was so much better than last time - the sea bass was really nice. 

Rich and Billy were off to watch some fights. Me, Jo and Sarah went to have some dessert as I was craving waffles. Not had them in ages!

We went to Heavenly Desserts on the strand.

Jo got a sundae

I got the white chocolate sauce with white chocolate shavings and pistachio ice cream

Sarah got 2 scoops of ice cream with Nutella sauce

I was so so full after this! Felt like I needed to go for a walk or run straight after it! After eating all this meant I definitely had to run the half marathon just to burn it all off otherwise I was carbing up to get fat! The food was good though and my love for waffles continues...
