I just have to note here, that I feel extremely lucky to have Kiara here with me. She's such an adorable dog and we had a blast playing with her!

We went out in Summertown - a cute area that is where I really wanted to live, but it was way too expensive (still pretty close to it, though!) The restaurant is called Spice Lounge, where we had a wonderful Indian meal --that's right, it was NOT greasy! It had a mixture of vegetables (I ensured it did not have the three vegetables I absolutely cannot stand ---lady fingers, terra root and lotus root). This was actual my first dining (for dinner) experience in Oxford. It's funny how often I used to go out before in Edmonton ---student life really makes everything seem expensive!
Also, another traveller's note ---if you want to go out in Cowley, where all the ethnic restaurants are, don't drive! We originally tried Cowley Road, but even as early as 5:30pm on a Saturday, there was not a parking spot to be found. Everyone here walks or bikes.

Well, since my Sunday morning was spent kickboxing, it's off to run an errand or two in town, and then get right on to dissertation planning for me (ie: TONS more hunting for relevant literature and reading it). These two dining experiences were definitely the highlight of my week. I've been advised to try out a "fish and chips" shop ---fish for Kiara, of course, and chips for me (I know I don't normally eat fries, but I will say that chopping up some potatoes at home, baking them and putting vinegar and then salt on them makes them taste quite good!) I never liked ketchup, anyway. So, perhaps I will have a blog on authentic "chips" soon. Stay tuned!
