Smooth Operator

Have you ever seen those social media adverts and thought that product looks good but decided not to buy? I used to be the same but I took the plunge and so far I’ve brought a veg chopping thingy and some make up. Both have turned out to be good buys.

The latest product that I’ve brought as it kept appearing on Instagram, is the Blendjet. I looked at reviews and YouTube videos and decided ah what the hell, let’s try it. For £30 with no shipping fee, it was worth a punt. So in an attempt to try and be more healthy as well as cut down on the amount of rubbish I eat, especially on night shifts, I brought two (one is for the husband) and awaited their arrival.

The delivery time was actually quite good, took 6 days in total. Ordered on the 1st April and they arrived on the 6th. So instantly impressed with that part. Next was the actual item, mine is purple and the husband’s blue (our fave colours), loving the bright colours and the packaging is pretty good. The only con so far is that the blender still works with the lid off so bit of a safety thing there.

Beast ordered a load of frozen fruit, honestly almost a whole freezer full! We tried them on the Monday. Mixed fruit for breakfast and me being a scientist decided it would be good to experiment and boy was it. In my wisdom, I decided to look on the internet and found a blueberry cheesecake smoothie recipe and tried it, omg it’s delicious. Here’s the link in case you want to try:

So today (being 09/04/19), I looked for a recipe using peanut butter powder as we have some in the cupboard. Popped to the shop for rest of the ingredients and yup I tried a peanut butter and banana smoothie…this too was amazing. I used alpro almond milk and honey as the sweetener.

In all, I can definitely recommend buying blendjet. A well worth buy.

Feeling Fried

That wondrous sight: close your eyes and imagine a sausage as it dips into a nice wet, ready waiting…..egg yolk! What did you think I was on about?

The English breakfast. What consists of the joyous English breakfast? Usually eggs (any way you fancy, but fried is best), bacon, fried mushrooms, sausages, baked beans and black pudding (or not depending on if you hate it – if do, you’re a weirdo in my world but you’re forgiven), oh and toast (fried bread = yucky. Again weirdo if you like it in my world. This is not forgiven). Though you could be über greedy and add either potato waffles or hash browns to the plate, plus a fried tomato or a heated plum tomato (tomatoes with fry up is just wrong).

When was the good old English breakfast invented? I’ve no idea but whoever did, I sure hope they were given a bloody medal! The English breakfast: said to be best hangover cure (not tried it myself having only been drunk twice), the ultimate camping breakfast & awesome after a shift block! It’s also one of those things that taste far better when cooked by someone else….so who’s cooking me breakfast?
