Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Magnum Cost: £2 Found at: Morrison’s There’s a heatwave in Glasgow, with temperatures hovering around 25°C (~80°F), and it’s like the pandemic has hit all over again. People are sheltering in their homes, air-conditioned grocery stores are crowded, and everyone looks slightly distressed. Of course, not everyone is suffering from the unseasonable...

Brand: Meika (Excellent Sweets) Found at: Bokkusu I’ve talked before on this blog about how I feel towards “sakura” flavoring.

Brand: Tesco Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco There has been nothing more wonderful during this time of quarantine than eating a sandwich that I did not make. I know that I am being ungrateful – I love to cook and I love that I now have time to cook. Like so many others, I’ve... Continue Reading →

Anything that will help get you through a pandemic or a hurricane has been whisked away... Continue Reading →
Brand: Marusantamakiya Found At: Bokkusu Region: Nagano It’s been a long, cold, wet winter here in Scotland. Storm after storm has pelted us with rain, and wind, and hail. Living next to a popular club, I spent many a dreary evening sitting at the bay window with my neighbors and watching young people in... Continue Reading →
Brand: Peppersmith Cost: £1 Found at: Sainsbury’s In this time of pandemic, there’s a lot of conflicting advice about how to keep yourself safe. Should I buy a mask? Should I make hand sanitizer out of Tito’s vodka? Should I replace handshakes with the trendier and more sanitary fist bumps? There’s so much information... Continue Reading →
