The scoop free film


















































The Scoop is an outdoor amphitheatre (円形劇場) situated on the south side of the River Thames near Tower Bridge in London,

located underneath City Hall, providing seating for approximately 800 people.

It is a venue used during the summer to show films, musical performances and theatre productions by such companies as The Steam Industry and The Pantaloons

In June 2008, films shown at The Scoop included The Dam Busters, Atonement (償い) and Withnail and I.

As of 2010, The Scoop has been used as a performance venue for eight years.


More London is a new development on the south bank of the River Thames, immediately south-west of Tower Bridge in London. The southern exit is on Tooley Street.

It includes the City Hall, a sunken(沈んだ、くぼんだ) amphitheatre called The Scoop, office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianized area containing open-air sculptures and water features, including fountains lit by coloured lights. 

The Hilton London Tower Bridge hotel opened in September 2006.


Georgian Food

The restaurant was called tbilisi. 91 Holloway Road.

I had no idea about Georgian Food.

What I had was 'Ojahuri', 'Khinkali', 'Adjaruli' and 'Tamada' (this was probably the name of red wine).

Especially the cheese bread was good.

National Gallery, London for iPhone


I like National Gallery so much.

The cafe in the building is also nice.





Including Gogh's Sunflower, etc.

This app should be improved so much easily,  but better than nothing.

Soft, flexible and thin tortilla.

Black bean (cooked till tender)

Cilantro lime rice

Grilled veg.

Salsa

Guacamole

Soured cream

Cheese

Jalapeno

Wrapped in tin foil. That makes it easy to assemble it.


They serve salad with almost the same ingredients as well.

With crushed new potatoes.

Linguine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD9yXZBA45c

Very easy to cook, loads of vegetables.

Basil, tomato, caper, black olives, onion, etc.

Pappardelle, smoked trout and tomatoes

Just refreshing, fresh and healthy.

Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay







I'm not familiar with Semillon grape.

So this bottle tastes really interesting, complexed and new to me.

Semillon is giving it crisp acidity like lemon or lemon grass and goes well with heavy rich food, I suppose.

The two almost opposite grapes balance each other really well and could be the next for the beginners who are tired of simple Chardonnay wine.

Mushrooms on toast




Beetroot, chickpea and feta salad



Great way to consume leftover beetroot.

Tomato and Feta Falafel Burgers

Hardcore skinny, ditch buns and wrap the burgers in lettuce leaves.
