It's honestly the best food delivery experience I've had since moving to the UK (which, granted, wasn't very long ago, but I've had a LOT of food delivered in the months leading up to having my own kitchen). <br /><br />My mom will actually (fingers crossed) be here in May, so I'll get to deliver my card to her in person :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288533010611643097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-52619833014620358612015-03-10T10:21:22.679+00:002015-03-10T10:21:22.679+00:00Tarte Tatin ice cream sound RIDICULOUS (in a good ...Tarte Tatin ice cream sound RIDICULOUS (in a good way!), Gianni! I haven't tried Deliverance yet, though I see their scooters zooming past all the time ... would you recommend it? How does it compare to, say, other food delivery services, do you think?<br /><br />And on the Mother's Day cards ... I totally have to buy them now if I want to send it in May. Otherwise, I'm out of luck!

I'm going to get my mom a UK Mother's Day card, but give it to her on the US date, ha. I've tried that ice cream! Got it from Deliverance. Have you ever used them? My favorite ice cream that I don't believe I'll ever see again used to be sold at (US) Whole Foods. But it hasn't been there the past couple of times I've gone. Tarte Tatin ice cream.

Ice cream helps though, and by the sound of it that ice cream was worth it?! I am also guilty of buying expensive treats. £10 for Godiva chocolate covered strawberries... oops.

I think in a way it all relates back to being a kid and getting ready for school the next day, and we just never shake that feeling. And don't worry – I've spent at least £5 for organic vanilla ice cream at Whole Foods. Hoping yours was delicious!

I think sometimes it's just easier, or it's just closer to our conscious thinking, to focus on what makes us unhappy, rather than what we can do about it. I am exactly the same!<br /><br />Urgh, teaching certainly gave me more physical and psychological issues than I could cope with, and I only did it for a short time! But I am more than far enough away from it now to share the horror stories and laugh... or at least grimace.
