Twee Tea // Cajun Cod with Orange & Tomato Salsa

As we mentioned in our Day in the Life post a few days ago, one of our favourite dishes is this delectable Cajun Cod with a Orange & Tomato Salsa. So easy to make and seriously tasty, all you'll need is...

White Cod

Cajun Spice Mix

Tomatoes

Orange

Spring Onion

Corn on the Cob

Corriander

Lime

Firstly, heat the grill (medium/hot), score the cod and squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lime over the top and then sprinkle with a few teaspoons of cajun spice mix (adapt to taste!)
Next, stick it all under the grill along with a ready cooked corn on the cob for around 10-12 mins (until the fish is cooked)
While that's cooking prepare your salad...


Chop up the spring onions, tomatoes and corriander and peel the orange and cut the segments into chunks. When the corn is ready, slice off the kernels with a sharp knife over the salad. Give it a mix et voila!
Dinner is served.
Alternatively, we sometimes make this with a mango & cucumber salsa with a little chili for an extra kick! Scrumptious!


Let us know what you think if you try this out!

After Dinner Dance Party // The London Edition

Well Lola twisted my arm and asked me to share some hits from some of my London faves...

Though temptation was overwhelming with the power in my hands this week to post a succession of McFly videos (well there's no point hiding my undying love for the pop-foursome since Lola outted me last week!) - I have picked a selection that I'll hope you'll love as much as I do as they bring back such happy memories of my London days...

Having been a fan from his early days, I don't share the opinion with some diehard fans who weren't all that impressed with Patrick Wolf's more commercial offering, 2007 album 'The Magic Position' - it has never failed to brighten up a dark day, you could often find me weaving through the streets of Whitechapel (because I lived there, not because I was a Jack the Ripper obsessive) with Wolf's weird and wonderfully melancholy beats blaring in my headphones. I was lucky enough to see him live with his good friend Bishi a few times while I was working for her as well as his own solo shows, an incredible performer.

Dev aka Lightspeed Champion was on my radar from my pre-London days, when he was in Test Icicles... I saw him perform the beautiful Galaxy Lost in the legendary 100 Club, it still gives me goosebumps listening to it now.

The sentiment of this song has always rang so true with me. I always felt that London was where I belonged, before I moved there I'd always feel so sad on the train home from a visit, and once I was down in the city I never wanted to leave. Sadly that feeling eventually went away, so I'm more than happy to be home now. But whenever I hear this song I remember that rush of love for The Big Smoke and how I wanted to stay there forever. Especially poignant that I got to see Jack performing this live at the Astoria just a few days after I'd moved down.

Last but not least, I couldn't not feature The Horrors... I forged many wonderful lifelong friendships from being a loyal follower of these boys. Right back to the very first gig I caught while attending a fashion summer school course at Central Saint Martins - their electrifying 100 Club show just before they burst onto the scene with their shocking Sheena is a Parasite video, right through to my days living in London, where my housemates often thought my gig going friends and I looked like we were attending 'very stylish funerals'...

Sigh, I miss it all so very much - we're well overdue a trip to The City. Hopefully we'll be able to share some new adventures from London very soon :)

Much love

News from The Lunar Rooms

Some incredibly exciting news has just landed from The Lunar Rooms... The Moons are off to Europe!
You may have heard us harking on about them from time to time, Lola's boy J and his band The Moons have been working incredibly hard over the past few months, touring around the UK & recording their second album. Now they get to enjoy a little play time, heading off to Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen & Amsterdam for a couple of weeks this month to be main support for Beady Eye on their European tour. So exciting!
It's not everyday that you get to go to Amsterdam with Liam Gallagher!


With their own UK November tour featured in NME this week, it's tremendously exciting times for The Moons and we predict that it's only going to get better!

Sending you loads of luck and love boys, we are immensely proud and we'll look forward to hearing your tales upon your return :)

Outfit Post // Studio Style

From inside the creative hub of Twee Towers, burrowed somewhere amid the stacks of fabric & rolls of trim, we thought we'd take a quick break from finishing the final pieces of our first He Dressed in Black collection to share a quick outfit post... Studio Style!

We tend to head into the studio pretty late in the day (typically around 8pm!) so we usually opt for something casual & comfy, wearing mostly jeans, tees, oversized jumpers & hoodies - not so glam but flipping amazing nonetheless!

Lola wears denim look tee: Topshop; Rhi wears floaty chiffon smock: H&M

Rhi's silk & lace t-shirt: H&M

Lola wears denim look tee (as above), jeans & shoes from Topshop, vintage pocket watch worn as necklace

Rhi wears Gok Wan for Specsavers glasses

(Sorry for the bad quality of the photos - such a dark and dingy day and we only had an iphone to hand!)

Rhi wears bird print dress from a Spanish boutique, jeans (as above), mint green cardigan from H&M

Lola wears navy polka dot & lace top from Topshop, camel coloured shorts from New Look & black opaque tights from the small mountain of tights that we keep in our airing cupboard (we must have at least 50 pairs between us!)

Have a lovely weekend darlings!

Much love,

L&R xx
