Chocolate and Oats: An Untold Love Story

Happy Valentine’s day

Or if you’re like me, Happy February 14^th… That is all.

Only joking, I’m not really bitter like tahini and despite having yet to locate a human partner; I would like to believe that I have been in a very loyal relationship for the last year and a half regardless - with porridge oats.

 The Best Part Of February

 Happy Pancake Day everyone!

Or for the more religious of you, Happy Shrove Tuesday!

Or for those who live in New Orleans, Happy Mardi Gras!

Or for those who enjoy a literal translation of the above two French words, Happy Fat Tuesday! Yes that is what Mardi Gras actually means and yes I was super happy when I heard this, almost as happy as I get when I watch the Youtube clip of a manatee squashing his face on the wall of his aquarium tank.

Heart Healthy Chocolates To Treat Your Taste Buds With This Valentine's Day

Happy February you saucy reader you!

Don’t be alarmed I’m not coming onto you in a predatory fashion, it’s just that for some reason I’ve been in a fairly good mood recently (this happens every 60 days or so, my therapist calls it bi-monthly euphoria).

The cause for this condition was at first most perplexing but after some much needed self analysis as to why the happy feels seemed to be spreading with a frightening Starbucks level of expansion at this particular time of the year, the answer seemed pretty obvious. Is it because I’m actually looking forward to Valentine’s Day? Have I found some-one to potentially share it with?  Have I been completely caught up in the lovey-dovey atmosphere and am looking forward to spending lots of quality time with and being spoilt by my new boo?

Hello fellow internet user,

If you’re reading this, I’m going to presume that the device you are using to access this region of cyberspace is also capable of displaying the current time and date on it. If you were to take a brief moment to look at said date you would most likely observe that it’s now the 27^th of January (depending on where on the globe you live). If you’re like me, this sudden realization of the time of month may come as a bit of a shock resulting in a very sharp intake of breath that causes you to momentarily forget how to breathe like a working adult and also causes you to nearly choke to death on the rice cake you were in mid-consumption of. Hopefully, not a lot of you are like me.

Well now that we’ve caught up let’s play a quick game of ‘how do the two following words make your soul feel?’

Meal. Prep.

So, 2015 has officially ended… well it ended a good few days ago now so I guess that’s a bit old news isn't it? So much for keeping up to date with the current comings and goings of the world. Hopefully, I'm not the only person who is still writing 2015 on all their important work documents etc? 

Your silence assures me that you too confess to this mishap.  

It's ok, old habits die hard you know, although truth be told I'll probably still be writing last year's date come mid-March. Maybe it's because I find it hard adjusting to even the most basic changes or maybe it's because there are a good number of fond 2015 memories still fluttering around my vast barren landscape of a brain, of which I like to regularly dwell over. Ooh the second option sounds nice, let's go with that one.
