Price was more than you would normally pay for Thai and the portions weren’t huge but for a special occasion it was well worth it. We had chicken...

Peri Peri Grilled Fish & Chips at Swish n Chips

Tonight I felt like pizza (it seems that I always feel like pizza on Friday nights) but burger boy wasn’t keen as we had pizza during the week. He was actually quite happy to have a night in and have toasted sandwiches for dinner. I, on the other hand, have this thing with having...

As much as I love eating dessert, I don’t tend to make them from scratch very often and when I do it’s easy desserts like chocolate filled crepes and cupcakes. I’m not huge on cake mixes either but when I received an email from Donna Hay’s marketing team asking if I would sample her new range...

I vaguely remembered Fast Eddy’s food being better than what we had at our colleague’s lunch on Friday… I’m not sure if it was because: I only ever had the nachos, strawberry milkshake and ice-cream sundae; It was always late at night after a few drinks; It was the Morley store and we went...
