[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Rainbow Chards

I love Swiss Chards (white) as well as Rainbow chards because they are large and leafy like spinach, yet the stalks are colourful and sweet a bit like beetroots.

My favourite way of cooking them is having them sauteed in olive oil with chili or fermented black beans with chili.

Or simply blanch them and they are sweet and delicious.

The Swiss chards were so delicious that I bought then again.

[Review] Sainsbury's Fresh Salad Cress

I love cress so often buy these cress pots from Sainsburys but after reading the reviews it explains why it sometimes taste different but overall ok.

[Review] J. James & Family ham / chicken slices and unsmoked bacon review

Randomly got the J. James ham from the supermarket because it was cheap and it looks like you get a whole wad in the box.
The ham was ok, it wasn't particular memorable or delicious but later I found some chicken slices in the fridge by J.James as well.
Overall, it is good for value but not memorable in terms of taste.

Also tried the unsmoked bacon because they were only 89p at Sainsburys to match Aldi's price.

On their own, the bacon was really salty but it was fine in a bacon consomme.

[Review] Plantastic Cherry & Chocolate Flapjack

I am not really a fan of flapjacks but decided to try the Plantastic Cherry & Chocolate Flapjack because it was cherry and chocolate.
The flapjack was a little dry but the flavours were good and it was loaded with sunflower seeds and coconut.

Halloween 2020 pumpkin carving

I have never carved a pumpkin before but was given one to carve for my niece.

It was a small pumpkin so I didn't bother to scoop out the inside so I carved a cat face which I saw the other day.
