With Peter heading to Amsterdam for a business trek with HEC, I had a weekend free to visit Rebecca and Kyra in London! Since their future hubbies were away for the weekend, too, this was the perfect opportunity for a girls' weekend. We kicked it off with a visit to the farmer's market so we could make a tasty meal that night.
This Farmer's Market is located in the parking lot behind a farm store in Kyra and Rebecca's posh neighborhood of Notting Hill. The produce is beautiful, and we were able to scrounge up the ingredients for a delicious vegetarian meal, with fresh pasta with tomato and pesto sauces, kale with raisins and almonds, and endive and blood orange salad.
The next night, brussels sprouts and roasted winter vegetable helped us keep this weekend healthy (until we hit up a favorite Thai restaurant for lunch on Saturday!)
Saturday afternoon, the two brides discovered that a huge wedding dress sale would be taking place at a hotel in the city. I can't show the dresses they actually liked, but I can tell you we had a lot of fun. I ran back and forth searching through the racks and racks of dresses, the girls throwing them on one at a time, getting advice from the other brides and mothers and sisters in the dressing room.
