M&S Marks Spencer Gluten Free Wheat Free Vegetable Spring rolls

I am not allergic to gluten or wheat but I love to try wheat free and gluten free things just to see if there is a difference in texture or taste.
So far I have only tried pastas and breads which prompted me to these spring rolls which are wrapped in gluten free and wheat free pasty. 
Overall, I found them just like your regular spring roll but it had a slightly sticky texture when you chew it.
The filling was the usual oriental vegetables but a bit sweet for my liking because of the seasoning.

Martenista

It's that time of the year when people tie #martenitsa on Cherry blossoms.

Tradition dictates that Martenitsi are always given as gifts, not bought for oneself. They are given to loved ones, friends, and those people to whom one feels close.

Beginning on the first of March, one or more are worn pinned to clothing, or around the wrist or neck, until the wearer sees a stork or swallow returning from migration, or a blossoming tree, and then removes the Martenitsa.







Morrisons Toffee Yum Yums

I love yum yums which are are similar to cronuts but much better.
The Sainsburys ones are pretty good because they are slim and uniform while the icing is not as thick as other brands.
This time I tried Morrisons because they had toffee yum yums which I don't normally see around.
The toffee flavour was prominent and the yum yum was not too sweet as a whole.
The only thing that let it down was the fried oil after taste like their donuts so I didn't have two in one go like I normally do and it makes me appreciate how nice the Sainsburys yum yums are without an oily aftertaste.




Asian Street Style Malaysian Laksa noodles

As a pot noodle fan I have always wanted to try the Asian street style pot noodle which is pricier than the regular pot noodle.
Finally tried the Asian Vietnamese pho which must have been the wrong choice to start with because the flavour was a bit too sweet and the noodles were too soft and break easily.
Despite not liking my first Asian Street style noodle by Pot Noodle, I decided to give it another go with the Malaysian Laksa.
The noodles in the laksa flavour were different, much thinner and stronger although they went soft really quickly.
You have to make sure you mix all the broth powder that is clumped together at the bottom otherwise the flavours will be weak.
Overall tasty and coconutty with pieces of coconut in it.
The noodles were much nicer than the Vietnamese beef pho one because the strands were thinner and absorbs the soup better.
Will definitely buy this again but they still don't beat the original pot noodles but if you have a craving for flat rice noodles then I recommend this and next time I have it, I will probably get rid of the broth when the noodles are soft to prevent then noodles from getting too soft.

Spotted this huge adorable Andrex Puppy at tescos.
I wonder how many more are out there.











Panini stickers and album - UEFA EURO2020 official licensed sticker album tournament edition

Who remembers their very first sticker album and swapping stickers at school.
Got, need, got, got, need!
My grandma used to buy me the stickers and I managed to complete the album which would be worth a lot now if it was still around.
Anyway, I recently had a trip down memory lane when PANINI were giving away free starter albums at Sainsburys.

Sainsburys reusable ‘bags for life’

I've always known that when a Sainbury's bag is worn out you can return it for a new one but I've never taken up that offer because my sainsburys bag has been strong and durable.

Today when I was shopping at Sainsburys, I took out my bag as usual and the cashier took my old one and exchanged it for a new one.

Although I'm quite attached to the old one which is creased and gone with me shopping during covid times I should say Thank you @sainsburys for the new one.
