last minute finds

Two nights ago Jason and I had dinner at a place called The Big Bang in Jericho, a neighborhood in Oxford. All they server is bangers and mash (sausage and mashed potatoes) in a dizzying variety of flavors. All their sausages are organic and local and the menu suggests both good beer and good mash pairings. Jericho seems to be the place to go for food. We had already found our favorite lebanese place, Al Shami, which is right around the corner, and last night at Jason's going away pub trip, several other places were suggested to us that are right around the other corner.

And for dessert-not to be missed on a trip to Oxford- G+D Cafe for ice cream. Not the best ice cream we had in the UK (see post about Wales) but incredible nonetheless. Thick and creamy. Jason had super &^*! chocolate and i had heath bar crunch (but it was called dime bar crunch). Mine was as vanilla as the most vanilla bean and his was really super &*^! chocolate.

Tonight we are off to the home of one of Jason's consultants but there is always Thursday, Friday, and next time.
