Going round the aisles

Note the lack of down as I'm not getting married. Today's post is a collective moan about my current supermarket situation. I've done a few posts about scanning as you shop, service stations and self-service checkout. But today is a little more niche. I have a couple of options near me - in fact I …

Cut the waffle

We're on safe ground, a rant again this week. I do like cooking, and a lot of that includes reading multiple recipes online for some inspiration. What, however, I do not like is reading someone's life story just to get to the recipe. While you might think I care about the first time you made …

Red and brown

A while back, I did a post that talked about banana balls and my idea of becoming a food influencer. Well, I'm not sure I've done enough to convince you of any other recipes. To call today's post a recipe would be a bit of a stretch! But, it is a tip that will serve …

Dinner for 1

Last week I spent a few nights staying in hotels as I needed to travel for work. This resulted in walking to the adjacent restaurant and requesting a table for one. This has a small perk, as I don't have any physical human contact I managed to reach out to friends who had been somewhat …

Offensive food

I'd like to thank a fellow train passenger for affecting my journey enough to prompt to my write today's post.   I was recently on a train mid-morning. Boarded at 9.45 scheduled arrival was 12 noon. To me, this would suggest breakfast has been consumed and dinner can be expected after arrival, but oh no, …

What’s Wrong With Water?

It has come to my attention people aren't happy with plain old water. Don't get me wrong, I do like squash. In fact, I like a good variety of squashes and tend to alternate between and orange coloured squash and a pink/red coloured squash, but I can also appreciate water. When I ask for water …

Can I have some Mayo?

Asking for mayo is something that happens the vast majority of times I go for a meal out. Asking for such a basic accompaniment to my meal doesn't always leave me certain as to what I will receive. Some places leave bottles of sauce on the table at all times. A part of me wants …

Meat-Free Monday; a Month on the farm

It has been a while since I have updated you on the progress on Meat-Free Monday. For those of you new to my blog all - check out previous Meat-free Mondays posts. To start with some good news I am still going! May was a bit of a blip - a lot of celebrating the end …

Definitive Dunking Guide

Disclaimer: this may not be a definitive guide. I thought a good use of my post-uni - pre-graduation time was to devise a ranking of biscuits based on their dunk-worthiness. In the avoidance of doubt, I didn't do a Paul Hollywood and dunk a cake. To compile the guide, I thought I would test two variables; length …

6 Months In

A slightly different approach for today's blog, but I hope you enjoy this slight deviation in direction. I've been blogging now for just over 6 months, with the last 4 of these having a post a week. Now is the time to reflect on how it has been going so far. I think this blog …
