La Vie En Rose for 2002 October 25

- Just got back from Oxford Street where Laura and I were shopping. There was a sale at Topshop but we only ended up buying underwear (but I got a 20% discount for students in the month of october, so that was good). We ran into Laura's cousin in Topshop- "Seven million people in this city and I run into my cousin", but then I pointed out that it IS the world's largest fashion store.

I think I am having issues finding housing for Winter Quarter, so all you Bruins out there keep an eye open for me!!

We have been trying to eat healthy and so far are doing pretty well!! Today for breakfast I ate Oats so Simple, which is just like Cream of Wheat except oats, and a bannana. Laura and I both like Cream of Wheat despite people making fun of us for doing so. Then for lunch we had organic tomato and basil soup with a fresh roll, yum!! Last night for dinner we had a salad based on the BBQ chicken salad from CPK. It has black beans on it, but they apparantly don't have canned black beans here, atleast not a Sainsbury's, so we had to go thru this whole process of soaking overnight and cooking for 2 hours just for a few beans to put in our salad!!! It was really good, though.

If anyone is coming to England, please bring me canned black beans and Cream of Wheat. Thanks.
