Well this year I told myself, I will write in my blog at least once a month.. Today is the last day of January and I have tons to do so I thought I would write about some of my favorite things that I have discovered here in Aberdeen.Lets start with places to eat. The place we eat most when we do go eat is Little Italy. It is right down the street and they have great pasta a wonderful prices (plus the cook with wine). On Friday and Saturday they have a lot of hen parties and the girls dance on the table which is so fun to watch. Everyone in the restraunt gets involved and before you know it everyone is on a table :)

As far as fast food they have a few American places like KFC & Mc Donalds but we love fish. The Ashvale is great and then there are a few Chinesse food places here and there we have not had bad luck with Chineese yet. We do not eat out much because I just think my cooking is better. They do not season stuff much here and I LOVE to cook.
Here are some random things I really like.
Twinings earl grey tea
Digestive biscuits (cookies as we call them) for dipping in coffee
Options hot chocolate (brownie my fav)
Huntley Herbs - Strathbogie Sizzler Chutney (great on a croissan wich with sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, a good cheese, and turkey)
Balsamic & Honey dressing by Ola Oil
Black Currant fruit spread by Tiptree
The Hammerton Store - http://www.hammertonstore.co.uk/
where I buy Oakwood Irish Smoke Cheddar Cheese, Huntley Herb Chutney & sundriend tomatoes, Kelly of Cults muffins (english muffins), milk bread, croissants and pancakes. The Kelly of Cults store is about 2 miles from here and they have tons of great bread and meat.
I also like Dobbies for salad dressings, breads and cakes (it is a garden center)
I am not big on shopping here as the styles are so different. Mark and Spencers would be like our Target. It has a bit less and cost more but the food is great and you can by good undies and bras there..lol
Lakeland (American Williams - Sonoma)
Dillars (Debenhams)
I almost forgot the most inportant BEER
Innis and Gunn Original & Desperados
I will update this as I find more....
