A cheeky bit on the side

Today's post isn't about affairs, but something far more exciting - a meal deal. I know, you can tell we're back living our normal lives when meal deals move up the conversation agenda. But today I'm not celebrating the current meal deal, I'm proposing a change. The current option is a sandwich, a side and …

How good?

So this is probably an omission that I've been living in the past for too long. I might want to blame this on living on the farm, but I'm here to tell you about one of my new favourite apps. This is "Too good to go" The premise is solid. At the end of the …

Am I going bananas?

So today's post centres on one recent experience using the ultimate lazy app. There's now apps where you can order groceries to your door and they arrive about 20 or 30 minutes later. It really taps into our desire to shop from our bed and have everything now. However, my experience with one particular brand …

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 …

Let’s get tapp’d

Rare twist of fate - no rant! The fact that alcohol is involved might explain why I like it. But today we're talking about cocktails - but not the fancy ones where you pay an arm and a leg for a bartender to make on for you - which is great until you're behind a …

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 …

Mean beans

For those of you who enjoyed That's a shit sandwich, you'll enjoy the fact this post has a similar feel to it. Recently, I had some beans for my tea. Upon pouring them from the tin into the pan, fear filled me. I was convinced these beans weren't going to be good. How? I hear …

Spice up your life

As much as this could be a tribute post to 5 women who hit fame in the 1990s, it isn't. No, today I'm focusing on the little packets of spice you can get sent in the post. As I mentioned in lockdown lexicon, my parents have been introduced to some new words while I have …

Lockdown lexicon

As I've mentioned in a previous post, I've returned to live with my parents during lockdown. Despite restrictions having relaxed slightly, I'm still at home. But as the title suggests, this post isn't about my living location, but vocabulary. One of the set-ups in the house is that I cook lunch on Saturday. We used …

Allergies

I've got a shellfish allergy - don't ask me too much about this - as I only know through trial and error, and there's only so many afternoons/evenings I want to spend hugging the toilet to find out whether molluscs are in or out. But I thought I'd talk about some of the recent challenges …
