Friday Night – That time of the week when most fun, exciting, vibrant individuals decide to go out after a stressful week of work to hang out and socialise with their friends to celebrate the weekend. Usually involving alcohol.
#FRIDAY – That time of the week when individuals who usually spend their Friday nights at home watching their favourite tv shows online decide, ‘Hey! Tonight I’m gonna go out into central London for a few drinks and have a really sophisticated evening!’, but really end up blowing all their money on the most unflattering food to eat (usually ribs or wings) and buying like one round of the most ridiculously flamboyant cocktails just to Instagram that shiz to make it look like they’re as classy as they wish they were on social media.
Yeah. Guilty.
It all started a year ago when my cousin Darzi and I came to the conclusion that we really needed to get out more and decided to do something about it. We made plans to go into London with the intent of having a lovely meal, a dessert, and to look classy whilst drinking cocktails. Yeah, that didn’t happen. What actually happened was we ended up having a massive curry, maybe like one beer each, and then leaving early because we were both ready for bed by about 10pm. Hardcore, right? Though, after the curry we did manage to drag ourselves into the restaurant next door to at least share a dessert at the bar before we left… because let’s face it, leaving at 9pm is just embarrassing. It was at this bar that we came to accept that the two of us were never going to have a classy or wild Friday night out, but we could make it seem like we were on social media in a completely ironic, taking the piss out of ourselves way….
And thus, #FRIDAY was born!

Over the last year, Darzi and I have actually made a thing of going out on a spontaneous #FRIDAY, where we get a meal and a fancy drink then obnoxiously post tweets/Snapchats/Instagrams about the whole thing. I mean, it started as a bit of a joke between us but it has essentially got us out of the house! Not to mention that being the foodies we are, our #FRIDAY’s have developed over the year into us seeking out new exciting restaurants to try each time. So much so, that I felt it was time to start blogging about all the fun new places we visit on our #FRIDAY adventures! Whilst obviously still posting about them on all social media platforms too. Sorry, not sorry.
Oh look, another recipe for a dish Angela was super intensely craving from a restaurant but couldn’t be bothered to change out of pyjamas to go get! *jazz hands*
On this occasion my super intense specific cravings were for the bacon wrapped dates I had at the 
Oh heeeeey!
These are just simple iced sugar cookies but with an Easter design, and would easily make a cute gift to give to your loved ones this weekend!
