Since I started this diet regime back in January I have changed my eating and shopping habits quite dramatically. Previously my lunch on work days (Monday to Friday) was a roll or possibly a salad plate from the corner shop. They do absolutely fantastic salads, but the really tasty parts are really heavy ie. coleslaw [...]

Irish Chutney
Shopping for food can be incredibly boring, especially if you’re always buying the same things over and over again. I love trying out new things, which is why I was delighted with the “fish in a bag” idea (it tasted wonderful in case you’re wondering). So this weekend I also picked up a couple of [...]

Supermarkets Don’t Like Singles
Supermarkets seem to hate single people. They probably aren’t really aware that they hate us, but they obviously do. Apart from a couple of exceptions, such as Marks & Spencers, most supermarkets assume that there are at least two people eating their food. Want some chicken? It’s a pack for two? Want a bit of [...]
