I love a bowl of soup for lunch, hence wanting a few cans for my reserves. I'm a fan of PB toast as well.

We really only saw Camden, but did see lot's of fruit and flower and clothing stalls out an about. It might get pretty cramped in a one bedroom with four adults, so understand why you might not stay. I suppose like anything, what is someone's norm, seems exotic to others and vice versa. If your stop in the states inlcudes the Twin cities-give me a hail. I would be happy to play tour guide.

Now, i don't bother since I'm usually at home at lunch time. But I find myself eating peanut butter on toast instead of a healthy bowl of vegetable soup!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-29879188136404560782016-02-21T13:37:01.395-06:002016-02-21T13:37:01.395-06:00It takes just under 30 minutes from where I live t...It takes just under 30 minutes from where I live to get to Marylebone and then London is your oyster lol. We try to go in reasonably regularly the most recent in Jan to see Bill Bailey ( see post). We tend to stay over even tho it's not far and we spend a lot of time doing the markets Borough market and Portobello being our fav at the mo. The next event we have booked is Katherine Ryan at the Hammersmith Appolo in May. My newly married son and his wife live in London but as they only have a one bed apartment at the mo we don't stay with them lol. I can't wait to start our trip because there's lots of the states I want to do.

I won't be that busy but she sure will. March (and April and May) need to be savings months.

It's...I'm lucky - we get free food at work. It's part of the whole SF/spoiled millenials/tech scene. ;-) I personally would be happy with a per diem/extra money & packing my own snacks & lunches again. But, since that's not an option, I'll happily munch away.<br /><br />I try to stay away from the carbs & focus on the fresh fruit. I get in before almost anyone else, and grab a few pieces of fruit - one for breakfast, one for a snack later in the day. I also sometimes have hummus & carrots. And, if I choose not to eat breakfast, I'll add a string cheese & call it a meal. <br /><br />I thought it would make a huge dent in our grocery bill, but . . . nope. ;-) That said, maybe our grocery bill would be ENORMOUS without this benefit.
