πŸ‘€ I always feel like somebody's watching me πŸ‘€

I went for a walk the other day and when I stopped at @everythingbutthedog.eu for a coffee I looked up and saw the goodest boi watching me. There were two of them up there but the other one ran off just as I got my camera out. 

I love little surprises that make me smile.  What unexpected thing has made you smile today?

I bought this card ages ago from @dorkface and nearly couldn't find it this morning to give to Tom.

Gilmore Girls is almost like a religion in our house IYKYK.

I bloody love Ben's Cookies and when I worked in Euston we used to go for a walk to pick one up in the afternoon.

This bumper box arrived on my doorstep and I couldn't have been happier. I can't wait to get cracking on with them. 

Thank you @steph.hop

my favourite chocolate orange is in there but there's some I haven't tried too. What's your favourite flavour?!

Got to drink a cuppa or two! β˜• Apart from my cr Got to drink a cuppa or two! β˜•

Apart from my crazy love of cheese, the fact the I couldn't find a dairy alternative that I liked in my tea was a huge stumbling block in going plant based. 

I love oat and nut milks in my coffee but everything was just way too sweet to go in my tea. 

I spotted this @alpro my cuppa when I did my last shop and I liked it so much I've bought it again. It is a bit thicker than diary milk and it tastes sort of creamier but I like it. I just wish it came in a bigger carton.

It was only when I produced this for breakfast this morning that I realised none of my trips to @dishoom were with @heroesdieold ! πŸ™ˆ I've promised him we can go when lockdown lifts. 

I (obviously) swerved the coriander but, my word, it was delicious. I'm honestly a bit sad I had to share with Tom because I definitely could have eaten both of them!

I was fully influenced by @shoegolf and @liljoeymac so thanks for that!!!

Actually, just feed me full stop. 

Cece loves helping me bake so we made some super easy oatmeal and raisin cookies in the week. She really gets involved until she had to put her hands in and get sticky πŸ˜‚

They're lovely and chewy.

I haven't baked since the beginning of December so thought I'd get back into the swing of things and make these cute crunchie cupcakes. 

They're honey oat cupcakes with buttercream and crunchie topping. Not great for my healthy eating plan but delicious with a cup of tea.

We finally got some snow today. The girls were so excited to go out and play in it. We even managed to make a little snowman and make sure he stayed safe given the current situation.

A short stack of banana pancakes topped with berry yoghurt, @jackpotpeanutbutter  golden syrup and blueberries.

I love these as a quick and easy breakfast and it's the easiest recipe ever. 

- 1 banana

Mix them all up and pop them in the pan. Easy! 

What's for breakfast where you are?

Another vegan burger actually, an onion bhaji burger to be precise. 

It was so good but definitely needed more mango chutney. Although, I think there's not much in life that can't be improved with a huge dollop of mango chutney. Amirite?!

Cinema In The Snow – The Muppets Christmas Carol

19/12/2017      1 Comment

When I was young I always used to celebrate my birthday in the same way. A trip to the cinema and then for something to eat. My birthday is in December so we could usually time the outing with seeing the local Christmas lights switch on too. I knew how to party! But seriously, these are some of my fondest childhood memories (I have a lot of them though, to be fair!)

Once upon a time, back in the day…

My ninth birthday, to be exact, my film of choice was The Muppets Christmas Carol. Off we went to the local cinema and a wonderful time was had by all. So much so in fact, in the years that have gone by since, I’ve always tried to make a point of watching it every Christmas. Luckily, it’s also Tom’s favourite Christmas film so there’s never too much of a fight to get it on the TV.

Dashing through the snow

This year’s first viewing of it was pretty special though. I was invited along to Pop Up Screen’s Cinema In The Snow to get my festive Muppet on with the lovely guys and gals at Love Pop Ups London. So, one night after work, in the freezing cold, I trundled on down to Hackney Showroom. Where, on arrival, I was ushered into a library. It seems I’d turned up a little late and there was a reading taking place. It was all very atmospheric with low lighting and a huge wardrobe full of fur coats. There was a chill in the air and, being closest to the wardrobe, I was asked to pass one of the coats over. Lo and behold, behind the coats there was a glint of light. On further investigation, it was like tumbling into Narnia.

On with the show

With a cup of mulled wine and a box of popcorn, I settled down to watch the film. It felt funny watching it on such a big screen all these years later. Especially when I’m so used to being settled on my sofa watching it in my lounge. It was nice though, it definitely warmed the cockles of my heart (although that could have been the wine) and if I find somewhere special showing it again next year I’m going to make a beeline for it.

There was only one thing I struggled with though – not singing along!

 

*I was invited along to the showing as a guest for review purposes. As always, all thoughts and words are my own.

    It truly was a fun night and lovely meeting you.

    I loved playing in the fake snow even though was hard to get out of my hair afterwards.
