Welcome to my Bog!

My name is Lauren, and I am a junior at Gettysburg College. I am currently on a European journey in England, which I know will turn out to be one of the greatest adventures of my life! I'm excited to share my experiences with you, so you can get a sense of what I'm going through in England.
Oh and the name of my blog is inspired by my Bostonian roots, which has caused me to use the word wicked in excess.

Yum Yum in my Tum:

Food in England isn't as bad people say it is. It's not great like in Italy or France, but I like it. One challenge so far this semester has been deciding what to cook for myself all the time. Because I live in a huge tourist area, buying food is a little pricy so I try only to buy lunch when i get a baguette or a pasty.

So in my quest to cook for myself, here are some of the things I've succeeded with so far:
*eggs on a baguette with brie cheese (yum)
*broccoli and spinach with garlic mixed with pasta and pesto (yumm)
*udon noodles with peanut butter, sechuan sause and chilli sauce (yummm)
*spinach and cheese omlett (yum)
*portebello mushrooms in salt and butter with raviolli (yummmm)
*classic English Tea (yumm)
*baguette with pesto and brie (yum)
*corn flakes in yogurt with peanut butter (yum)
*rice cakes with cream cheese and peanut butter (yummm)

I think that's about it for food I've become great at cooking...As you notice, there's not a lot of meat in my diet just because it takes long to cook. But this weekend I'm going to make chicken and I've been trying to eat a lot of veggies which is good. The final delicious food that I will miss a ton when I return to the U.S in Hobnobs with Nutella...SO AMAZING! For my other friends in Europe, I hope you try some of these!
