Tuna, rice, avocado with mayo, chilli oil and onion.

Tuna, rice, avocado with mayo, chilli oil and onion.

I feel very smug. Actually had an order in my McDonald’s app and willed myself away.

Ended up with this kind of tuna rice bowl thing with last night’s rice and a few tasty bits and pieces.

I agree but this is the reduced price. Not the the full value. My concern is that by pricing reduced food so highly, surely more will end up in the bin? Just crazy prices!

Food is so expensive now!!! I get that this is Waitrose so not necessarily a balanced example but even so… reduced to these prices? #costofliving #foodprices

Kickstarting a foodie weekend with lunch at QBao in #Cardiff. I had the beef ribs noodle soup and it was delicious. Made a slight tit of myself trying to drink the broth with the big wooden ladle but could you blame me?

I’ve tried fizz and flour (and loved it!), infact we used them for our networking event at work last week πŸ™Œ

The rest is yet another excellent load of recommendations to add to my ever growing list! Thank you!

Lovely - I’ve driven past it actually but not been in yet. I believe you can’t beat a good cheese toastie and you’re right, the Costa/ Starbucks ones are sooo disappointing!

Is this your blog?

Do you follow Dinner with Jon on TT or IG? He’s great, and has a new cookbook out, which I was kindly sent by Meze publishing.

Here’s his rather yummy Marmite & Cheddar Welsh Rarebit! 🀀

If you like Zapiekanka (Polish open sandwiches), I tried and loved Big Mamma’s sandwich shop on Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff today! It was absolutely delicious and Big Mamma is a brilliant character! We loved her! 😊 πŸ‡΅πŸ‡±

Tried this #japchae from Starty Mart - it’s super fast ti to and the flavour is good but the noodles mostly broke up on heating and texture was a bit gloopy. Good to try but probably won’t buy again. 5/10.

80 years after the rest of you, I finally got my hands on an M&S big daddy pistachio.

And… underwhelm. Not pistachio-y enough and far too sweet for my unfortunately. 😒
