Midweek Munchies

Thank you for lovely comments. I am back today with a midweek munchies roundup. So much food, so little time.

I bought these on sale because they sounded good and they were good! They were definitely sweet and didn't really have a crunchy cracker texture, they were a bit softer kind of like a very thin cookie. Excellent with a cup of tea.

Another fun flavour from the now sadly defunct Sweet Dreams. This was the freckle, which is what it looks like. A bar of chocolate covered in hundreds and thousands, just like a giant, thick freckle. Are chocolate freckles an Australian thing? Or do you have them in other places?

I tried this new vegan microwave meal. The sauce was delicious but the beans were undercooked and not great for the tummy, which was a shame.

A couple of silly Fry's products that I made for a silly lunch. These were both fine. I wish they had a bit more crunch and flavour, but it was still fun. Lots of ketchup.

I really enjoy this Strawberry & Rhubarb jam from St Dalfours. It is excellent on toast, with peanut butter, in overnight oats, or on ice cream. I love how their jams are not too sweet.

Finally, a classic. The Not Burger by Vegie Delights. I thought I was grabbing their chicken-style burgers, but then realised it was a not burger when I got home. It was a fun little blast from the past. I don't know quite how to describe a not burger. They are not like a veggetable patty, but also aren't trying to be beefy or chickeny. They just are. I still prefer the BBQ burgers and chicken-style burgers, but these are a solid option. They were one of the first vegan burgers available so many years ago that weren't just absolutely tasteless mush.

How is everyone doing? What is everyone up to? I am hoping to go in see Barbie soon, at a non-peak movie viewing time and with my N-95 firmly suctioned onto my face. Has anyone else seen it? This month has been all about Taylor Swift and Barbie. Next month, I am going to be all about Heartstopper and Red, White, & Royal Blue. What is driving your personality right now?

Mirabelle


This fuzzy little silhouette is Mirabelle sitting on top of my yesterday. I couldn't got to work and spent all morning in bed with a fibro flare, and this little sweetheart plopped herself on my and purred her little heart out. She is smol, but her purr is big.

  1. Squeal - another new post! Goodness those Freckles look divine. You probably need to eat them over a big bowl to catch all the sprinkles. Sorry to hear about your fibro flair. And yes I am going to see the Barbie movie this weekend. So excited! - Sri.

  2. So good to see you! I'm struggling, honestly, but cautiously hopeful. A savory thing with a cookie-like texture is so good--sometimes oat cakes are like that. I like to have them with a bit of cheese. But I don't know what a freckle is when associated with food, no, sorry!

    1. Cautiously hopeful is something. <3 A freckle is normally a small, thin circle of chocolate that has hundreds and thousands all over it. Maybe it is an Australian thing.
