    Poland Adventures

    I’ve been travelling again, this time to Poland. Technically I’ve also been travelling to Leicester and Norwich, however I’ve decided to blog about my Polish odyssey instead. When I told people I was visiting Poland, I got a lot of blank looks and questions of “why do you want to go there?” (to be honest, I get asked that question with a lot of places I go to).

Emma had the ramen (I think) and a smoothie: We both indulged in the coconut ice cream afterwards. Ice cream is an everyday food!

    Vietnamese Stirfry

    This is a stir-fry that was cooked by my brother’s partner Toan when I went to visit him last week. He is Vietnamese/ Chinese and is used to cooking in this style.
