Fancy Dinner at El Brellin

Dann and I wanted to go to a more fancy dinner while in Milan, and what better place than along the river in Vicolo dei Lavandai! There was tons of night life in the area, lots of different restaurants, but we walked along until we saw El Brellin tucked away, with upscale Italian food. Previously, this building was an old grocery store, where women who washed clothing would grab supplies. The layout hasn’t changed much, still showcasing the 1700s fireplace and coffered ceilings. We were excited to try the menu after seeing some of the selection. They have an ever changing menu, so I cannot find an accurate menu of what we had, so these names may have changed.

SnackMagic – Gifting Lots of Snacks

[Ad- gifted products] I feel that hampers are one of the best types of gifts to get, especially if the hamper has items in it that you’d use and eat. SnackMagic is an interesting way of giving gifts, as you would set your budget, then gift the ability for your friend to pick which hamper they’d like to receive. I selected the Taste of America snack box, though there was an American chocolate bar specific box, along with a large number of other snack boxes, pampering boxes, and so much more. It actually took a while for me to choose, but I felt this box would give me some nostalgia and also allow me to share some unique items with our children.

The Steak Board at Baha Bowness

Each year, for our anniversary, we go to The Lakes Hotel and Spa, and while there go out for food nearby. Dann picked out Baha Bowness, which was right near another restaurant we quite enjoyed, as a new place to try out. Their food looked good, a nice Korean-fusion going on, and it didn’t match that of the pubs that can be found in the area – which is exactly what we were looking for. The general vibes were great – fantastic music and good staff. It’s also a dog friendly venue, which works well with all of the people walking their dogs along the lake. They also have live music on a lot of the nights, if that’s something you’re into.

Must try in Harlow – Mui & Koko Noodle Bar

Dann and I go to Mui & Koko Noodle Bar roughly twice a month, and have done so for well over a year. We actually call Mui & Koko Noodle Bar “King Du”, which was their previous name, years and years back. They are a Chinese, Japanese and Korean noodle bar, with tons of huge dishes at very good prices. We tend to go often as on Wednesdays we run an event in Harlow Town with our Pokemon Go group. Every other week, we then meet up with our friends from Birmingham and a few regulars to the Pokemon Go event, we all go out to dinner, and then we go to the movies afterwards! Mui & Koko Noodle Bar is quick, delicious, and consistently all of our favorites.

Lambada – Colorful, Easy to Learn Card Game

[Ad- gifted product] Normally, we play board games at Geek Retreat every other Monday, but with school holidays in full swing, we are fitting in a couple of extra gaming sessions! One afternoon, Amelia and Robin pulled out Lambada and wanted to play with Dann and I. Lambada is a colorful card game, with a pretty easy to follow gameplay loop, that makes it perfect for short rounds of cards.
