It’s
time for the weekly roundup once again…
1) Brazilian Barbecue
If
you have never heard of this style of eating, you are not alone! I had no idea
what ‘Brazilian Barbecue’ cuisine was before my boyfriend suggested going to Fazenda in Leeds for our anniversary meal. You may remember that our anniversary was
back in January so why bring this up now? We actually didn’t get to go for our
anniversary meal until this week because we didn’t realise how popular this
restaurant was – you have to book at least six weeks in advance for Saturday
night tables! It was so worth the wait though guys. It was unlike any
restaurant that I have ever eaten at and I already want to go back! There are
no menus as it is all you can eat and the waiters bring the food to your
individual tables so you don’t need to get up (always a bonus). This is not one
for vegetarians as the only food that the waiters brought over to us was different cuts of the most succulent meat (including fillet steak) that we have ever
eaten. They carve these meats for you at your table and you can eat until
your heart is content – my boyfriend in particular really loved it! And a great
feature of the restaurant is the stop/go cards that you get given at the start
of the meal which indicate to your waiter whether you would like more meat or
not so that you won’t feel pestered! I would really recommend this cuisine for a
fun style of eating with genuinely delicious food.
2) Marble Print
So
my obsession with Nouvelle Daily means that I now also have an obsession with marble
print as they often use marble as a background in their photos. I have a theory
that any object looks at least 30% more expensive/chic when pictured against a
marble background – seriously. I am aware that I am sounding slightly mental
now but the reason that I am mentioning this is because I picked up loads of gorgeous
French Connection toiletries this week PURELY because of the marble print lids.
I have no idea what the products inside are like (I got a body scrub, body
lotion and body wash) but at least they look pretty on my bathroom shelf. My
next marble purchase might have to be this marble print iPhone case – what do
you think? (I definitely can't afford it but a girl can dream!)
3) The Outdoors
I
was brought up in the countryside and completely took it for granted for the
entire 18 years that I lived there. Since I moved to Leeds for uni and now
Nottingham for work, I really appreciate the time that I get to spend at my
family home in the beautiful Cotswolds. Although I was in Leeds this weekend,
my boyfriend really enjoys fishing and has recently found a lovely village with
a lake just outside of the city where he goes to fish. He forced me asked if I
would come with him this weekend and although fishing isn’t really my thing, it
was really nice to get away from the city fumes and spend some time outside.
That being said, I feel like this one visit was enough to last me for a couple
of months as I do love living in a bustling city centre (if you are wondering
why - Domino’s don’t tend to deliver to villages in the country, enough said).
Cute post. I love the outdoors too. Can't beat a good walk.
