Crazy Food

Snap Happy Britmums Photo Challenge Day 7 -Warmth


I think I may have mentioned before that food and I get on very well. I'm not stuck on just a few favourite dishes either. One of my favourite things about travelling is that you get to sample different cuisines and I'm all for sampling someone like Heston Blumenthal's wacky creations at least once. You don't know till you've tried it, right?

Warmth in the wrong place

But even I have to draw the line on some things. And wasabi-flavoured chocolate, quite frankly, is it. I endured chilli-flavoured chocolate and quite liked chocolate combined with sea salt but, in my opinion anyway, there is nothing quite as satisfying as a plain old quality bar of milk or dark. I like wasabi, I lurve chocolate, but together they taste like stale tobacco. Sorry, Lindt. Not a fan of this one.

Mint mojitos

Snap Happy Britmums Photo Challenge - Tipple

There is so much mint in our garden, it's threatening the weeds. In an effort to put it to good use we invested in an ice crusher (I say 'we', I mean 'I'. Every single time I get it out my husband asks why I can't just wrap the ice up in a teatowel and whack it on the counter. I ask you.) And then the mint gets put to good use and we get merry and all mutters about the crusher vs teatowel are forgotten.  Long live the mint mojito.
