Tenshi restaurant

Lunch: I made some coleslaw with some prepackaged stir fry greens. I also had some leftover fish and brown rice- I love when leftovers taste better on the second day!
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • generous tsp sugar 
  • 1 tsp djion mustard
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
It was nice and refreshing since our house is still hot from yesterday's blistering heat!!

All afternoon I wanted to do this...
Instead I went over some Zumba moves most of the day and read my Women's Health magazine. Even though I only teach two classes (I'm going to be adding another regular class every Tuesday's- Schweet!!)
I find it necessary to rehearse the steps to the songs almost everyday. I don't have it quite as easy as most people memorizing just about ANYTHING so I have to keep repeating, keep practicing, keep moving, in order for me to remember my moves. It's really rewarding but tiring at the same time! There's no greater feeling than knowing that with hard work and diligence, anything is possible! ***Love**

After teaching yesterday and sweating balls AGAIN, T and I went and grabbed late night dinner at Tenshi on upper street.

Everything came out really fast and sort of out of order. We started with out Sushi Set with 7 pieces of pretty small nigiri pieces. The fish portion was small and delicate and wasn't as buttery or sweet as I'm used to but still tasty.

seared tuna and spring onion w. spicy togarashi hand roll
puhlease excuuuse my blurry Iphone pictures! Yes, I'm the weirdo that pulls out her Iphone to take pictures in the restaurant. I guess it beats the huge Nikon camera ;-)
this is similar to the Korean pancake Pajun but instead it has this mayo sauce drizzled all over the top and is thicker and more doughy in texture. It was filled with lots of shrimp and squid and was quite yummy! A bit heavy though.. I think I still would prefer to eat Pajun but that's just the Korean in me!
Takoyaki!!! Octopus fried balls. YUM! These were the best Takoyaki balls I've had here in London and since I've never eaten them anywhere else, the best ever.

So I've realized I have the hardest time sticking to any UNO thing. For example, lets take books, I have about 5 books sitting around the house that I have YET to read but I still want to go out and get more. I'm off to Waterstones to pick up
Really really really want to read this book before the movie comes out! Such a sap for love stories
ditto on this book- the movie looks great!
I saw this book on another blogger's website and its gotten pretty good reviews!

"The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love. Born out of concern for all beings."
