A Taste of Britain.

There's this shop in Redmond called The British Pantry and it has a restaurant on either side of it. In celebration of Steven's birthday we visited Neville's yesterday, the restaurant to the left (we're saving the Three Lions Pub for another night). I know that it wasn't exactly as British as what we experienced in England but it was so fun to be there. Quite a few of the customers there had British accents (makes it seem pretty legit if the Brits go there...) and it was so wonderful to eat fish and chips and steak and ale pie while listening to the accents and enjoying the pub-like atmosphere. It was so cute! We walked through the shop afterward and saw many of the things I used to enjoy cooking with or consuming in England -- OXO cubes, Paxo stuffing mix, Cadbury chocolates, squash, P&G tips tea, cans of mushy peas!!! Unfortunately everything costs about five times as much as it should so we didn't buy anything. It was just a lovely little nostalgic experience : ) And now we're both ready to go back to England.
