I have managed to perfect my sushi making skills, so I am currently trying a lot of different foods to see if I could one day replicate these too.

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
Griddle Waffles
I am currently on annual leave, which means that any sort of healthy eating goes out the window and I let myself be a bit more free with my food choices. I find with annual leave I am FAR more active, simply because I will spend every day out and about exploring new places or … Continue reading Griddle Waffles

Ben & Jerry’s Bohemian Raspberry
This was a flavour released back in 2007, however as 2025 marks the 50th Anniversary of the rock band Queen, it has been released.

The artist, Marco Evaristti, created the exhibit "And Now You Care" was designed to highlight the 28,000 piglets that die daily … Continue reading Animal suffering will never be art
Papa John’s La Vie Hawaiian pizza
I am going to address this first because I know it is a sensitive subject. I will also say this once, and then not again in this post, and I will not be accepting comments about this: Hawaiian pizza is the best pizza and pineapple does belong on pizza. In my opinion.

The Bakehouse chocolate and orange cookies
I have been a bit sick lately and in those moments of sickness, all I ever want to eat is comfort food. And there is nothing more comforting than a chocolate chip cookie. I didn't want a specialist one, as quite frankly I didn't want to have to pay around £3 for a vegan cookie, … Continue reading The Bakehouse chocolate and orange cookies
