Lunch Out at Prashad

On the 27th of July Lee and I went across to Prashad in Drighlington for lunch with Chloe, Ian, Lolly, Gary, and Franklin. I had suggested it ages ago because I know Chloe and Ian like it, and I wanted Lolly to experience the joy too. Then Chloe added it to her '50 things to do before she's 50' list, with all of us, so we made plans. We had actually cancelled it once before - not a problem - but I'm glad we got there!

Lee's sciatica has been really bad recently meaning he can't drive for very long, so I drove the two of us over there. We were there first so we sat for a little bit in the foyer. Chloe and Ian arrived not long after us. As Ian uses a wheelchair he had booked the first table as you go in, which isn't up any steps, so is ideal for us. So we sat down and ordered drinks. I had a mocktail as I was driving, I think it was a strawberry nojito and it was lovely. Chloe and Lolly had a mocktail each too. We all shared poppadums and pickle trays, which were nice and included a rhubarb chutney - we were in the rhubarb triangle after all!

For starter I went for sev puri, which was cold and tangy and delicious. I gave Ian a piece too to try and he liked it. For main I had a masala dosa with paneer. I know I can't eat the whole lot so I cut it in half to bring home for the next day. I had a gujwari naan with it too which had coconut, nuts, and sweet stuff in it. It was nice but by the next day it had gone quite hard so it wasn't as nice when left over. 

We had some coffees afterwards instead of puddings. We sat and chatted and it was just lovely! We said goodbye and Franklin took this photo of all the adults outside which I just love! I drove Lee and I home. I was wearing Converse slip on trainers in a gorgeous peach colour. I got them off Vinted (of course) but I haven't worn them a lot yet as they need wearing in a bit. 

Then I was wearing this gorgeous dress! I also got it off Vinted. It's a Simply Be one but I think I paid about £8 all in and I LOVE it. I am going to wear it loads! It's summery and cute and the pattern is gorgeous. I like the length of it too. 

Oh Chloe asked me to do my patented 'around the table selfies' where everyone ends up in two photos, so I did. They are lovely photos! 

Franklin and I. I put some eye make up on but didn't want to wear any lipstick. Oh yes and I found this pastel necklace that I got at a zine fair I think and it matches the dress perfectly

And finally Lee and me

Sev puri, it was so good and pretty big for a starter, which is another reason I didn't eat all my main course and brought it home for the next day instead
