Saturday we had a fun day in London with Jacob's coworkers Marcia and Becky and Becky's husband Mike.

We ate an incredible lunch at
Barraco Cafe, a Brazilian restaurant Jacob found online. He introduced us to Brazilian dishes he loved in Brazil. My favourite was the Coxinha de Galinha (left), a doughy, breaded ball filled with wonderfully seasoned chicken.

Becky, Mike and Jacob saw
Lion King, which Marcia and I
saw last year together. Marcia and I saw
Oliver in the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Jacob said he was entertained by
Lion King but felt it was designed for a juvenile audience, and he wasn't impressed by the talent of the performers. (He'll always maintain that nothing compares to
Les Miserables on the West End.) On the other hand, I was MASSIVELY impressed by
Oliver and found the talent --really everything about the production--to be top-notch. The kids in the show were especially fabulous.
After the shows we stopped at the
Primrose Bakery to eat some delicious cupcakes. Jacob and I shared a lemon one and a chocolate one (left). We love living so close to London!

This is Jared speaking. I noticed you are spelling "favorite" the British way. Does that get difficult? Or do you stick to one?
I consciously use alternate spellings just to add a little British flavour on the blog. In real life I usually stick to the (corrupt) American spellings. :)
