Brits on Nicollet

Brits' delicious fish'n'chips
with vinegar!
with vinegar!
and amazing artichoke dip!
The food was great, but most special of all was that we had Anna to ourselves. It was so much fun to spend the evening with her! Of course, England came up in conversation and we talked about where we'd like to travel...as soon as the airlines are giving away round-trip tickets.

I think they should splurge and get another print!

And of course the evening wouldn't be complete without walking up cold and windy Nicollet Avenue to spend time at Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
It made Anna's grandma and grandpa very happy that she would spend the evening with us. :-)

What a nice evening you all had together! I love British pubs... than again, any place I can get a good plate of fish and chips is where I want to be!!
What a fun evening! And the food looks delicious.
Your granddaughter is beautiful!!! What a special evening that must have been for all of you.
She's lucky to have grandparents like you! I love to see and hear about close knit families. Looks like a very fun evening and if we're ever in the Minneapolis are we will check out Brits!
I've always wanted to try fish and chips in England...too claustrophobic to fly though. What a great way to spend the day!
Great outing all the way around. We were going to have fish and chips tonight but decided on pizza instead. I see you sell soaps. I just bought some handmade soaps at the German Market today. Maybe when the airlines give away free tickets you can come to Birmingham and go to the market:)
YUM! Bring on the fish and chips!! :) What a great looking meal!
LOVE this blog! Your food looks heavenly; I LOVED fish 'n chips when we were in England! Wish we had such a place close by. So glad you and a little one-on-one time with your grand daughter. I so loved that time with my grandparents! They are some great memories to make!
I always love these posts! I got hungry while reading through! Ha! There is a nice feeling about those pubs. I also love a nice brisk walk after a great dinner!
Thank you for your support and kind comment about my mom. It has been very difficult to see her in so much pain. I really appreciate the support the blog community and friends ike you have shown. Have a good night!

Interesting concept. I have the wrong vision in my head of a Brit pub. A oversized man wearing a teeshirt with a pint in his hand watching a usually pointless football match (to him ) on Sky TV. Maybe Minneapolis can teach us a lesson or two. :-)
Just love this post...tried to comment on it at the beginning of the week and got kicked off...just wanted to say what a fun night for Anna and the two of you to have each other all to yourselves!
