PSA: Pumpkin Spice season has returned!
The return of the pumpkin spice flavouring is my signal that Autumn has finally hit in the UK. Unfortunately our weather is far too unpredictable all year round to really signal any changes to the seasons, so I go by what flavour is the most popular amongst all of the coffee shops and restaurants. I … Continue reading PSA: Pumpkin Spice season has returned!
PSA: Greggs’ vegan steak bake has returned!
The steak bake has returned! Oddly, it is now called the vegan lattice, and I don't know why. My guess is they don't call it a 'steak' bake because non-vegans got annoyed about a vegan product being named something that it isn't. Regardless of what it is called, I love it and am super excited … Continue reading PSA: Greggs’ vegan steak bake has returned!

Naturally I am very late to this party, but I finally decided to take the plunge and to just create an Instagram account for this blog.

As expected, you cannot tell the difference between the vegan version and the dairy version. This chocolate spread is rich and creamy, and has … Continue reading Vegan Nutella has landed!!
Happy May 4th!
To my fellow geeks out there today, May the Fourth be with you. I hope you spend the day doing whatever brings you peace, be that watching the Star Wars series in chronological order (yes, including each season of the Clone Wars and Rebels), or by doing an activity which helps you feel at peace … Continue reading Happy May 4th!
Should dire wolves be back?
No doubt you will all have seen the news stories that announce that the dire wolf has been brought back from extinction. And it raises a very interesting conversation that I think has been touched on before (anyone else getting Jurassic Park vibes?) but has never been given any serious thought because it seems like … Continue reading Should dire wolves be back?
Doughnut Time rebranded to Rodeo Doughnuts
I am likely late to this party (as I am to most parties really) but it seems that Doughnut Time has rebranded to Rodeo Doughnuts. I have tried to figure out when this happened, as when I look online it seems that only the London branches of Doughnut Time have been rebranded to Rodeo. I … Continue reading Doughnut Time rebranded to Rodeo Doughnuts
Should cat cafes be banned?
This week, the RSPCA and Cats Protection called for a phase-out of so-called "cat cafés" after revealing a remarkable 44% increase in licences granted for the cafés during the last financial year. According to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, there are currently over 30 cat cafes within England and of those 30, 44% were … Continue reading Should cat cafes be banned?
