Lincoln

Cooking
Unfortunately cooking is not one of my strongest traits, and most of the time I don't even attempt. However on a 7 hour trip to Lincoln and starving me and a friend decide it is best we cook instead of waiting for a delivery. Having not seen eachother in a couple of months we were eager to catch up with eachother, cooking and catching up come hand in hand when we are both starving.

However as the conversation became funnier, sadder and more deep we had forgotten about the rice which inevitably became cold by the time we had finished cooking the steak and mushrooms. Upon us falls another disaster, the mushrooms and rice further getting colder the steak was undercooked; having to place it back into the pan again.

In the end we settled with cold rice and mushrooms but scrumptious steak which is all I could ask for! Overall not bad for two cooks who can hardly be called cooks.

Wagamamas
Chicken katsu curry is one of my all time favourite meals. It just never grows old, not too spicy like Indian and Thai curry and not too sweet like Chinese curry. Just utterly enjoyable. Though having been to Wagamamas a few times in my life and hating the food, this was one of two exceptions and I quite enjoyed it and I think purely for the dish I chose. Ginger Chicken Udon, this tastes delicious. The udon is perfectly fried, nice and crispy on one side and tender on the inside and the chicken tastes just as good. Though I hate vegetables and removed all of them from the dish before eating, it actually adds to the flavour whilst cooking.

The service at this particular branch in Lincoln was also brilliant. The staff were quick on their feet, kind and endearing. Though one did look like a muscle builder and like he didn't belong, he actually was the nicest waiter in the restaurant and overall was a great experience for a girl who absolutely detests Wagamamas.

Lunch
Having spent the previous evening drinking and dancing until 3am and unable to have the chance to recover at 7.30am in the morning to catch my coach towards London, and having slept the entire 4 1/2 hours journey I was starving. The only choice I had was a measly pasta and crisps to pick up from Sainsburys. This was neither satisfying or tasty, but it just had to do. This pasta and crisps may not be much to blog about, but it just shows to you that we require time to eat, to enjoy our food AND HAVE BREAKFAST.

Lincoln was such an enjoyable experience, besides the long coach journey and cold weather. The people at the University are kind and the area surrounding the University is beautiful, the lake during the sunset is a magical sighting and the early morning snowfall.
