Paninis, a Meeting, and Ghosts

     I was startled and somewhat horrified when my alarm went off at 8:30 because I had forgotten that twice per seven day rotation, I am due at school at 9:35 instead of 10:55. Needless to say, I was on the struggle bus, but I grabbed some raspberries and drove a modest 4 miles above the speed limit to school where I went to chorus. I was not feeling chapel and I had some pressing concerns that came up during my research yesterday to talk to Bailey about, so alas, we scheduled another meeting, this time at Caribou. We discussed how are going to get to and from the Heathrow airport, attaining the proper tube navigation iPhone app, and making sure we are prepared with Oyster cards to ensure easy travel on the underground. 

     After the meeting, I went back to school for religion and then left again. It had been stressing me out all day what I was going to have for lunch because I couldn't settle on a place in my mind and my favorite lunch spot is way downtown on Auburn Avenue and "ain't nobody got time for that" when planning a trip to England! So, being the crafty chef that I am, I made a trip to Whole Foods where I picked up 14 grain bread, avocados, turkey, and sliced cheese with the intention of recreating LottaFrutta's "Pavo del Ocho" panini. I dusted off our family panini maker and when I tell you I created heaven, I am not exaggerating. It was the best ever, paired with baby carrots, lemon infused water, and the remainder of the avocado diced with a sprinkle of lemon juice. 

     After lunch I looked at my project proposal and saw that I needed to plan the entire day for Friday, April 15. Here is what I came up with: 

Friday April 15- 

9:30 Breakfast: Brick Lane Beigel Bake

10:30 Science Museum

12:30 Lunch: The Potato Project 

2:00 London Dungeon 

5:45 Dark Side of London Ghost Tour

8:15 Dinner: Clockjack Oven 

     Brick Lane Beigel Bake is "a 24-hour bakery known for traditional Jewish-style filled bagels such as salt beef and smoked salmon." I picked this place because I love bagels and it seems like something I can grab on the go that won't take as long as a traditional sit-down breakfast place. The Science Museum is your typical science museum, but is insanely popular for the cutting edge attractions and displays. Having taken two advanced physics classes this year, I am very interested in science and look forward to visiting the museum. The Potato Project is dedicated to finding unique ways to make potatoes. I love potatoes. That will be good. The London Dungeon is a 2 hour walking experience that features characters and frights. The Ghost Tour takes you on a walk through London and tells stories of London's haunted past. Clockjack Oven focuses on chicken dishes and is open pretty late, which is why I'm going after the tour. Overall, I hit some roadblocks with scheduling certain tours and coordinating the London Dungeon with Bailey, but I did what I needed to get done today!
