organic porridge with brown sugar, banana & honey
When Panu’s out of town, I get up to a whole bunch of no good. Like, I bake a batch of brownies and eat half of them myself. I watch The Hills on repeat, UP LOUD, and just to be really naughty, I even sleep on his side of the bed! I know, daring. Well, on Sunday, while Panu was happily sailing around a lake in Jyväskylä (that’s in Finland, for those of you as geographically stunted as me), I rendezvoused with my other two gorgeous 6-foot-plus boys for brunch at The Pantry! Hah!
It may have been freezing and wet, but I made my way to Wandsworth Town to meet up with Mowie and Bruce, two boys who I utterly adore and who I’ll miss sooooo much when we move back to Sydney
We managed to wrangle a seat inside at the big communal table and I was forced to order a steaming bowl of porridge because goddamn, do you remember how cold it was on Sunday? What the heck, June?!
All the food at The Pantry is organic, the menu is simple and appetising and they also have cakes which made my eyes grow a tiny bit bigger than an average grapefruit. Luckily, we had post-brunch dessert lined up back at the boys’ casa.

We spent the rest of the cold rainy day hibernating and eating things like 4-layer chocolate and caramel cake chased down with freshly baked raspberry soufflés. Yeah, as much as I love them, these guys are not good for my waistline.
And then the real fun began – since we introduced them to bubble tea, Mowie and Bruce have been borderline obsessed and armed with their first pack of bubbles, we made bubble tea at home! Exsqueeze the crappy blackberry pic:
And I don’t even know how it all started but somehow Bruce got to critiquing my sucking technique. Oh yes. So you can imagine where this conversation went.
OMG I was in tears with laughter. Completely unashamedly crying into my bubble tea… and thank god Mowie got these pics on his iPhone, moments like these are priceless.
Gahhhh… gonna miss ’em so much!
