In case you don’t recognize the title of this Hive account@foodfightfriday contender, it’s a spin on Without Me by Eminem which, side bar, I didn’t realize until just now is a 10 year old song! Not that hearing Eminem rock the iPhone is normal when Pura’s in the kitchen or anything, it’s more likely to sound like Gone by Mgk or Tennessee Love by Yelawolf. What can I say—she’s real particular about the tattoo covered pale-faces _{(that’s for you Hive account@janton)} she chooses to hear. 😉 What I’m trying to say is, Hive account@puravidaville has a kitchen again and I’ve been eating like a...

ever since!

Welcome back to Hive account@foodfightfriday, it’s nice to be here again, I’m glad you made it. Now about this weeks contender.

We’re currently staying in Bradford England in a 200 year old home with all of the original brick on the exterior which makes it really tough to find because everything looks like 200 year old brick. And much older structures too, we were told some have been standing for as long as a couple thousand years, a lot of them are churches. Like this one in the middle of West Yorkshire, England—the home to many popular rock bands such as Def Leppard and The Cult.

The reason I’m telling you this is because although the house we’re staying in is 200 years old, everything inside, including the all-electric kitchen Pura makes it happen in has modern appliances. It’s almost time for #food pictures. Here, I have three more old brick structures to show you that were designed back when architecture was appreciated and are still standing after who knows how many years, then I’ll get to the Queens (there’s more than one here) plates.

Ok, one more! This is what it looks like at 10:30pm in England. It doesn’t get dark here until 11:45 and it’s light again at 4am.

Dinner—vegetables, toast, baked potatoes and five bean soup cooked in HP sauce. It’s a sauce for tenderising meat, similar to an A1. Look, even the potatoes are steeming.

Breakfast—toast with peanut butter, strawberries, blueberries, a Greek soy yogurt, cinnamon and a chocolate pre-shake.

This is another breakfast, I think, maybe it was lunch—cucumber and tomato bagel with a side of that Greek soy yogurt, topped with blueberries, strawberries and granola.

A dinner, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a lunch—vegetables and sweet potato fries with pita bread and roasted tomato hummus, spelled “houmous” in England.

This was either a lunch or a dinner—roasted vegetables on pita bread topped with shredded carrots and a 1/2 bagel with sliced apples, peanut butter, and strawberries.

Same place next week, deal? Write about something food related, tag #fff, and post it on a Friday—that’s it. You might win something cool, you might not, but you will meet cool people. You could take it a little further by checking out the rest of the chefs who tagged #fff and drop them a line but that’s just the cool thing to do—it isn’t required. Have a great weekend!
