It’s the 1st of June! A day before the deadline for Beauty & the Feast entries (2 June 2008). Looking at the entries so far, I’m so pleased and excited to share with the rest of you what lovely creations have been emailed to me.

Went into town today to sort out some of the prizes as well so I’m all ready to post these babies out to the top 3. There’s still time to send in your own entry. For more details on the rules of the challenge, you can click on the link above. To find out what my own contribution to the challenge was, it’s here.

Well then, I’ll be waiting in anticipation to select the top 3. The round-up will be posted as soon as possible once I close the challenge, most probably 3 June 2008 evening UK time as I’ve been looking through all the entries every day to keep myself with it. I’ll keep all ‘contestants’ updated via email and would greatly appreciate it if you guys will share your support for the lovely foodies who have sent in their contributions.

If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to today (why would you actually, but maybe you would since I’m typing this here which relates it, of course, to FOOD which you should be very much dedicated to), I’ve wandered the lands of Pizza Express and EAT. to get myself ready for the round-up. Two of my favourite foodie hangouts and if you love organic, clean and simple food or would love affordable oriental-inspired quick-to-go lunches as well, definitely check out EAT. Not exactly very traditional but you can find fresh sushi and sashimi packs, salad packs and the ever-comforting matcha latte for £1.90 a regular take-away cup. I even got Hans into the matcha drinking. I mean at £1.90, you can’t resist that great taste and lovely green hue. You’d be an idiot to.

Also, it was the perfect Sunday. We should unwind during the weekends yes? It was much needed considering the drama we went through yesterday evening. Alex 2 roads down was plagued by a drunk banging crazily on her door and she’d rang Hans thinking she was being broken into. This was a day after we thought we’d been broken into. So, after frantically ringing all the guys we knew, Hans and I in ridiculous pyjamas and footwear (Hans in black loose flats and me in ridiculous summer flip flops) went flying through Selly Oak with Tunstall in a flurry of flying flip flops and shoes, and panic in our hearts. Thank God the police got to Alex real quick and stayed on the phone with her through the ordeal. The wanker of a drunk was sent home quick enough and we took Alex back home with us for the night. Tunstall, our big male hero, didn’t do much really but it was a relief to have someone there with us ridiculous girls. You should have seen the sight of us. Me running barefoot, Hans taking charge like a bulldog.

With drama like that, food’s what we should talk about to make things right.

Let’s talk food.

Send in your entries guys. Last call!!!
