Have You Tried tastecard? When it comes to having the tastecard app on your phone it couldn’t be easier, or make it less expensive, to enjoy those meals out! Dining in restaurants can be a pocket basher but the experience is so enjoyable it would be a shame to make it a rare treat and with tastecard you don’t have to! All your favourites are part of the scheme meaning a meal out with your friends, family and the kids […]
Kelly Loves – Sushi! I made sushi once before but it was so long ago I seem to have misplaced my bamboo mat and any time I’ve thought about trying to recreate it, it’s seemed like a massive hassle and I haven’t bothered. Shame though as when my Mum and I dabbled into sushi making before we loved it. It wasn’t too hard (admittedly it didn’t look like pro sushi but was good enough) and very tasty while being incredibly […]
Jazz Night At The Chelsea Harbour Hotel! It’s not terribly often Jonny and I would get to enjoy an evening out in London just us, but somehow we are bookending this Easter holiday doing just that! For our first foray of the break to our capital City we hopped on the London Evening Out with Greater Anglia. This ticket costs £25 and affords travellers a return trip departing after 2pm, able to return on any train that evening or until […]
Chopstix Review! My family and I were invited to dine at Chopstix Noodle Bar this week where we plumped for a brand new restaurant in Norwich City Centee. Now, though the restaurant we chose is newly opened, that’s not what we were there in celebration of, infact we were there to celebrate one of their most popular dishes, the Massaman Curry which they’ve been serving for 20 years alongside other firm faves like the Caramel Drizzle Chicken (my kiddos top […]
Asda Extend Kids Eat For A Quid Until The End Of 2023 – And Make The Deal Even Better! It’s not often you unearth a truly no catches, great deal and even less so coming from big organisations; there’s usually SOMETHING in it for them somewhere along the line, right?! However, for a good while now and in direct response to the cost of living crisis (thanks to government who believe in nepotism, keeping the rich, rich, poor, poor and […]
Bloody Mary Lobster Cocktail Recipe! This is the quickest, easiest recipe yet offers a little wow factor in that it’s lobster! Saying that, it is not an expensive dish by any stretch and only requires frozen lobster which you can generally pick up for around £7. Mine was from Aldi from their Christmas range and first intended for a seafood platter which never came to fruition so here we are at Valentine’s week making it into a boozy, unctuous lobster […]
Dining Out At Gaucho! As a post matinee supper for my friend and I this weekend I used the OpenTable app to find a restaurant in Soho – my eye was immediately drawn, like a magpie, when one of the many suggestions (which come with ratings for how expensive, clear times available, the type of food, hints for their best reasons to visit and a wealth of reviews) to Gaucho Piccadilly. Just off London’s bustling Regent’s Street, yet tucked away […]
Friday Night Treat Tea – Movie Theme! This week was our first Friday Night Treat Tea of the term because last week we had a thing at school. We’ve gone in strong with a movie night theme as Friday is the best night for a movie! Jimmy, Raffie and posie loved the nachos with plastic cheese sauce (so easy to make and yet they charge an absolute fortune for this in the cinema) and who doesn’t love a wiener hot […]
Friday Night Treat Tea – Christmas Theme! We finished school for the term with, of course, a Friday Night Treat Tea with a Christmas theme. Crackers and festive fodder like pigs in blankets, Christmas tree shaped sandwiches and other delights like strawberry reindeer and speciality festive crisps and biscuits. Gold chocolate coins were a must and we couldn’t have had it without a milkshake! Oh we do love a festive tea!
Where To Get A Square Meal In Abu Dhabi! Joke: The people in Dubai don’t like the Flintstones but the people of Abu Dhabi do! Abu Dhabi, rated the second most popular city in the UAE and actually, ranked as being the safest in the Middle East region means there’s plenty of reasons to choose it as a vay-cay destination! The Grand Prix was most recently held there inviting lots of tourists who also capitilised on the close proximity to […]
