We Meat Once Again

So this past Friday my parents flew in to the UK to visit my sister and I over Easter break. Needless to say I am now being spoiled rotten. My mom has not stopped cooking since she got here and my sister and I haven’t stopped eating. The deliciousness included Malaysian chicken curry and Bak …

“holiday”

Well, we had Easter.   This is over: Which I am both happy, and sad about. And this has begun:   Revision. Although I’m not that bad. …Yet. I think being at home without access to my cafetiere is part of it. At the moment it feels quite hard to revise as there seems so …

Listing my life

Discoveries I have made this week: 1. The non term-time hopper bus timetable. Do you like waiting? Do you enjoy gnawing hunger in the evenings? Do you enjoy randomly walking around because all Uni shops are closed?  Well you’re in luck! We bring you the non term time hopper bus timetable- now even more inconvenient! …

Easter has taught me…

Or rather “Easter holiday has made me appreciate even more”…Because most of the following I knew already, but the longer title just isn’t so snazzy is it?   The best things in life really are free! On Tuesday last week, Ben and Jerry’s annual Free Cone Day finally arrived! A day where you can eat …

My Easter holiday in pictures

Well, sadly, the Easter holiday is drawing to a close, and it’s been busy, fun, moderately productive and definitely nice to be home. So this post I thought I’d do a picture summary of what I’ve been up to – building on last weeks post. So I went on holiday: To Cornwall…which was actually rather …

We’re all going on an…Easter holiday

Just a short one this week as I’m on holiday in Cornwall and the internet is somewhat limited – photos will be in the next blog! So I’m in Cornwall and it’s rather beautiful, trying and failing to work but enjoying fresh seafood, clotted cream, pasties and fresh sea air. As I am on hospital …

You can sleep when you’re dead

Hellooooo there, I hope everyone is having an eggcellent easter holiday! Mine is going brilliantly so far, although I did experience a loss yesterday … R.I.P. Chocolate bunny and duck. Quack. Excuse me if I’m sounding odd or my yokes aren’t as funny as I think they are … I’m blaming it on my sleep …

Grandma’s Easter Eggs

Happy Easter Sunday! Hope you also all had a good Good Friday…and an adequate Saturday. I’m going all Delia Smith in this appropriately themed blog to give you another treat this Easter Weekend. Forget the shop bought, already formed, already packaged hollow Easter Eggs! Here at the Benawra household we make our own…as well as …

Are You Ready?

For Easter? I know I am! It’s been nearly 40 days and 40 nights without chocolate, sweets and crisps. And when Easter Sunday comes in two days time, I will finally get my fix! In preparation, I’ve also ordered a ChokaBlok American Dreamcake Easter egg (or two) from Tesco. My family were laughing at me the …

Today Is Not My Day

I’m a pretty stress-free person. Deadlines approaching? I’ll get my work done two days before. Bad hair day? I’ll just wear a hat. Oh, you broke my good China? “It’s fine; replace it in your own time”. (I don’t own any China, but you get the jist.) But nothing prepared me for today! The day …
