Black Friday Sale

Hello there!

I've been missing from blog land for a while

With the run up to Christmas I've been so busy!

Just to let you know

Until Monday 2nd December I'm offering 10% off everything in my shop!

TREAT YO SELF!

A catch up - London, Cats & Vegan Food

Hi!

Long time, no blog

I've missed blogging, but I've been so busy lately

It just doesn't feel like there's enough hours in a day

So here's a little catch up

Lots of pics and less babbling on

haha

First up Halloween!

Usually Paul and I are so into Halloween

But I think due to fact us both being busy lately we didn't really bother

But we did get a pumpkin!

We both prefer simple, freehand ones lately

But I think the best we ever did was this one

It's Captain Spaulding from House of 1000 Corpses!

 My mum came to visit for a few days

Sisco was very happy as she knows how to 'play' mum

She alway gives off the 'Granny Christine I'm starving! They never feed me' vibe

Naughty girl

It was lovely to have a wander around London

It felt all Christmassy 

I can't remember which shop this was

But how amazing are the window displays? 

 These little Penguins were made up off coffee machines and cups

Such a cute and clever idea

Must have been a fun job!

 This bear (I think) was made up of games consoles

 I love you, little Penguins!

 Pretty lights

 Oh yeah!

Shopping means bags for Sisco

 'This iz tha best presunt eva'

 'I iz hidin'

 About a week earlier mum sent Sisco a treat box for Sisco

Look at that little face

I made some catnip fish to send to Farplace Animal Rescue

I can't sing their praises enough, they do so much good

I always say, If I won the lottery they would be one of the 1st places I'd help

Here are some photos from one of previous times I sent some

I had to get them 'tested' first of course

I don't really have a sweet tooth

But I'd heard so much about Cookies and Scream in Camden, I had to check them out

It's a 100% vegan bakery

We got a shake and some things to take away

I don't know what it was but we tried some kind of pecan/cinnamon bar and it was AMAZING!

Autumn in my mouth!

 I always make these stupid internet cards to send to Paul's parents

They love them, I swear!

 Amazing yarn cobweb in the woods near me

As I've mentioned, even with glasses my eyesight isn't the best

So when I was a bit further away and first saw it I was like

'JESUS!!! What kind of spider made that web???'

I was glad I was on my own!

haha

 Taking pictures/annoying Sisco

 She hit me just after this

I know, I can be SLIGHTLY overwhelming

 BUT SHE'S SO CUTE!!

 Weird mushrooms

I find them fascinating, but they also make me want to puke

 Livin' it up with my mama!

 When mum was down we went to Manna with Paul

I'd wanted to go for ages but never got round to it

Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed

We were excited and our eyes were bigger than our bellies

So we orders some starters to share

The starters were a mixed bag

These were Jalapeno cashew cheese croquettes and they were really good!

I've tried cashew cheese a few times and not been too impressed, but these were really nice

I'd get them again

 This was a basil ricotta stuffed artichoke heart 

It was ok, but a little heavy and bland

 And lastly Tempura

You can't really mess that up!

I had bangers and mash

I'd wanted to try this for ages, but I wasn't blown away

The sausages were quite nice, but the mash was so tasteless 

The dish a little bland and like something I could easily make myself (and I'm a lazy cook)

Not something you really want from a £14 dish

 This crispy marinated tofu was awful

Dry and tasteless

It was a bit disappointing as my mum's not vegetarian and I feel like when non veggies/vegans try things like this it makes them less likely to try again

 My mum had the 'Special' cottage pie

Nothing really special about it!

 Paul had the Caribbean platter and although it look nice he was underwhelmed 

I just re-read that and realised I sounded a bit bitchy!

Im not a food blogger, I'm just giving my honest opinion and we were disappointed

I've had food in other veggie/vegan places for a lot cheaper and that were a lot nicer

I'm looking at you Brighton!

If I went to Manna again I'd just get starters and desserts

Fireworks bug me a bit as they scare Sisco, but they are pretty

And that's it!
