Celebration after the first draft

Coming up for air. That's probably a good way to describe it, have you ever just will and forced yourself to put in the effort to get something done? This dissertation, at a point, after writing about 13,000 words, and I haven't gotten to my analysis, my core report yet, I was getting worried as I'm only allowed 15,000 words inclusive... of references, and everything. But the really tough part for me was that I never saw the light at the end of the tunnel, i just knew that I had to get a draft done, and after last week, I got a first draft done, yes i am about 7000 words over, and i was missing a few points that can round out my arguement, but finally, i have something done, something that i can at least work on the next week to finish. It was super rewarding to finally get something done early, and be somewhat proud of it.... So naturally, last Friday (yesterday), i went to the highest class resturaunt in my life.... It's call Midsummer House, one of five, 2 Michelin stars resturaunt. I lavishly spend money probably that I am going to need after this year... but this 6 course meal was 'legendary'! It felt more like 8 course with all these small in betweens, but it was really good food.

1. Some sort of sorbet? A richman's bloody mary as i was explained to by my friend
2. Chorizo, fried, wth some interesting taste
3. Cheese puffs, that's the best way i can describe it... but it's darn good


Ummm... they serve us this champagne grapfruit foamy thing :D


Umm, bread first, but then this green soup, with tiger prawns, and onion jelly i think... i can't tell, they had a french accent. But the bread was good, the crust was.... crunchy like...


Pork belly..., apple, it had a bit of chai-sui with sui-jao, but the wrapped pork belly was absolutely delcious... and the presentation was pretty darn good... oh it came with two difference sause, one was an apple puree, and i have no idea what the other was


Mackel, and caviar... done just perfect, the fish was nice and crispy on the outside, tender and so tasty on the inside.... :) ad caviar.. well i can't tell why this stuff is so expensive


1. Some part of the lamb, 'probably the best lamb i've ever had' said my friend, i'd have to agree....
2. lamb tounge, seems like it's sheered and salted.... really good stuff....
3. tomato or pepper, with beef strips.... like stewed? i don't konw.. but the combination was amazing!


Ummm... started eating this before i took a picture, there was ginger flakes, some jelly some crust, and some more pineapple pudding... really good


I don't know... there was pineapple, coconut, and lime.... you figure it out, oh this clear sheet of somethign... really cool... everything look so hand made!

Anyway... i've come to realise it's more of an experience you've going for... the food is as good as you're going to get, never going really understand how this stuff cooked, apparently, from what my friend was eating at another table, some of these things take overnight to soak and bake at super low heat, to get this beetroot infused, glucose gelatian... i don't know, but the process sounded like an engineering experiment :D

Anyway... presentation, and ambience was perfect cambridge....
-yes, that's dry ice

Anyway, going punting/pinic on the boat Saturday...
