When you’ve had a tiring day of work and are too hungry to decide what to buy from the supermarket... I’ve wanted to properly try Guidi’s in Airdrie for ages so today became that day. They bake their own bread every day and I have say, it was unbelievable! Chewy but soft and it tasted like heaven. So much so that we both had to unbutton our trousers to sit comfortably in the car on the way home 😂
Fireworks & apple strudel with my best pals. I’d say that’s a pretty decent way to spend a Guy Fawkes Night 👌🏼
Brunch goals 😍 Behold! The Duck Club Bun! This top half of the brioche bun was rendered useless as the bottom half piled up with spiced BBQ duck, pomegranate mayonnaise, coriander, pickled cabbage and a runny poached egg! It was too tall to eat as a bun, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As is everything here, this was absolutely delicious!
Weekend vibes ❤️
Marshmallow Land is my favourite place in the world! By far my favourite part of @itisonglasglow 😍 I opted for the triple mallow + Rolo version and it was an absolute delight! The entire are was a fairy lit, garden picnic dream! ✨
I have been unable to stop thinking about two things today: this pudding and what I was going to make for my dinner tonight. And sadly, no, I didn’t have this pudding for dinner tonight! I have been a fan of creamed rice my entire life, and I’ve been meaning to make some after @laurenscravings posted her recipe, but I’m lazy and haven’t bothered my backside. Last night it was on the menu and I couldn’t resist. Coconut rice pudding with roasted plums! Fan. Dabby. Dosy. 🍑
I have had the most wonderful day. Started off with family and then we decided it was too beautiful a day to stay home, so we had an autumnal walk in Kelvingrove Park followed by some drinks...which turned into a three course meal. Stravaigin is easily one of my favourite places in Glasgow - stunning surroundings and their food is to die for ✨🍷
I didn’t think I’d ever find a loaded fries that I loved as much as the Thai Chilli Cheese Fries from Burger Meats Bun (GBNF). I can safely say these will absolutely do - they are absolutely amazing! Duck fat fries loaded with honey & mustard mayonnaise, crispy bacon and spring onions. I believe that you can reheat something with mayonnaise because it’s gross, but these are the exception to the rule as they were still absolutely bangin’ later that evening!
My favourite part of being run down is when my usually-magnificent immune system has a wee breakdown and lets me get the cold. I absolutely love the nose blowing, sore ears and headaches 🤧🤒 Ok, perhaps not. But feeling like garbage is ALWAYS soothed by ramen, and for that, I thank ramen for always having my back ❤️🍜
