My first grazenibble box

Just got my first grazenibble box through the door and I am now nibbling on the tasty honey cashew nuts, yum.

My boss told me about the company graze.com which delivers grazenibble box or grazefruit box to you. The recyclable box is thin enough to go through any standard letterboxes on front doors so there is no need to sign for it! Great!

There is a massive range of fruit, nuts, dried fruit etc you can choose from. Once you have signed up, you will be able to pick what you like and what you don't like. (you won't get told off by being picky!! Once you have "binned" the same ingredient a couple of times, it even asks you if you would want to "bin" all choices include this ingredient! Attentive!)

It's £2.99 a box. My first box is free and my second box will be half price as I used a voucher code from my boss. I think I may stick with it for a little while as there is no commitment and the frequency of delivery can be quite flexible. I have set mine to fortnightly so even if I am a bit slow nibbling away, I won't have too much left in the house. (nibbling too slowly? is that possible?)

Anybody in the UK fancies trying it out, feel free to use the code they have given me: 3KVZD5X
The code will give you the first box free and the next one half price. When you use it, I get a little bit discount as well! ;-)

Happy grazing!

(I think I may start the wasabi peas next...... before my hubby comes up to pinch it all!)

萬聖節快到了！

今天和大龍經過超市進去買瓶紅酒，順道逛逛看看有沒有便宜貨撿。月尾就是萬聖節，店裡有很多萬聖節商品，當我看到一個會唱歌的南瓜，不自覺的就去按它囉。 結果是我跟大龍都笑到肚痛！還很白痴的用電話把這個唱歌南瓜拍下來！ 大龍說要是情緒低落，看看這個就會立時精神百倍了！ 大龍的白滑玉手再度登場

我也來Plurk

看到很多常逛的部落格都有個Plurk用來microblogging，我也來玩。好處是一句起兩句止，工作時也可以偷閒blog一下，什麼時候忽發奇想都可以blog下來。(請看部落格右邊，有沒有看到﹖﹖)

家常小菜﹕黑椒汁煮茄子蠔菇玉子豆腐

蠔菇和玉子豆腐常常都用蠔汁煮，這次搞搞新意思，加了茄子配上黑椒汁，讚！ 分享一下昨天讀報時讀到的一段可愛新聞(文字擷取至BBC新聞網)﹕ Blind rescue dog has 'guide dog' A dog rescue centre in Norfolk is trying to find a new home for a blind sheepdog and its "guide dog". The two border collies, called Bonnie and Clyde, were found roaming on a country road. It was not immediately clear why one followed the other. Cherie Cootes, from Meadowgreen Dog Rescue Centre, in Hales, near Loddon, said they could not be separated. She discovered that Bonnie led Clyde, who had lost his sight because of a degenerative disease. "If Clyde's unsure where he is, he will suddenly go behind Bonnie and put his face on the back of her so she can guide him, he totally relies on her," said Ms Cootes. There's no option of homing them separately. They've got to go as a pair Cherie Cootes, Meadowgreen Dog Rescue Centre. "And when she walks she tends to stop and make sure he's there - she does look out for him. "When she's about you wouldn't notice he is blind, but when she's not about he refuses to move. "There's no option of homing them separately. They've got to go as a pair." The dogs were found running through Blundeston, near Lowestoft in Suffolk, during a storm three weeks ago. Neither Clyde, who is thought by the rescue centre workers to be about five years old, nor Bonnie, whose estimated age is two or three, had identifying collars or chips.

我家大龍是酒徙﹖！

大龍禁酒好幾個月了，冬天時還好，不愛喝水的他，可以喝喝熱茶咖啡﹔不過現在天氣漸暖，他都好想喝個透心涼的飲品，之前可以喝杯冰過的啤酒，現在只好喝汽水。可是汽水喝多了就覺得很甜很膩，所以最後受不了誘惑，在網路上訂啤酒了！ 一訂就是兩打，六個牌子，每個牌子四瓶！！不 — 過 — 這24瓶並不是真正的啤酒，而是不含酒精的啤酒。我試過幾瓶，喝下去味道還不錯，尤其圖中展示的那瓶Super Bock味道更是跟真正啤酒無異！大龍說英國酒吧該出售零酒精成份的啤酒，這樣即使要開車，還是可以安心無憂的享受「啤酒」啊！說真的，在酒吧要是不喝酒的話，無酒精的飲料都是甜甜膩膩的，還有就是一杯汽水的價錢跟啤酒差不多，買啤酒好像比較划算呢！
