Impression of Oxford - great city; very studious and there is definitely a social 'thing' going on that
makes me prefer the anonymity of London...

You ate at Jamie's!?!! *dies of jealousy* Jamie is my foodie crush on every level. I'm so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteOxford is cool but Jamie's?!!! You're so lucky1!!!!!! (I am seriously squealing right now and keep showing my husband the pics begging him to take me to England. I'm that big a Jamie freak. LOL)
LOL! I know! I was so excited to discover this - I didn't even know that he had a place in Oxford! And I was all excited about it, but NONE of my students knew who he was! I was so surprised because he is pretty well known in different medias, but they didn't know... Hopefully they become more aware of him while they are in the UK...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, the food was AMAZING! My friend ordered TURBO! PENNE ARRABIATA (*I think*)and I had the TRUFFLE TAGLIATELLE which was SOOOO GOOOOOD. It was the perfect sauce and addition of truffles. I also ordered the CRISPY POLENTA CHIPS WITH ROSEMARY SALT to start. Very yummy...
