Free Graze Box

Having recently heard about the Graze box service, I decided to give it a go. Graze (www.graze.com) puts together a box full of different snacks to be delivered to you at your convenience, serving as a snack during work hours or something to treat yourself to at home. Usually priced at £3.99 a box, the range of options on offer include dried fruit, cakes and biscuits, porridge and even soup! At the moment, Graze are offering the first box for free, so with nothing to lose, I ordered my first box.

Ta-dah! It's arrived!
It took three days to arrive, and fits through the letterbox, again making it convenient for the customer.

Inside the box...
To start you off, Graze has selected four random snacks for you to try. Enclosed in the box, are four small pots, as well as a welcome leaflet and a piece of paper to tell you what snacks you have.


Super Carrot Cake and Sour Cream and Garlic Crostini
When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised. There was nothing in there to have me running for the hills. I received:

  • Super Carrot Cake - a small gluten-free carrot cake, also including Graze's special blend Afternoon Infusion Tea. The cake was quite nice, lovely and moist. The tea I didn't really take to - the taste left a lot to be desired.
  • Sour Cream and Garlic Crostini - this was the first pot I opened. I really like the sour cream flavoured cashew nuts!
  • Rhubarb and Pear Compote - dried rhubarb, pear and cranberries. A nice treat.
  • Chocolate Pretzel - poppyseed pretzels, complete with a chocolate hazelnut dipping sauce.
Rhubarb and Pear Compote and Chocolate Pretzel
I can't really fault the general quality of the food, but I thought you didn't actually get that much in the box. Yes, I know it is intended to be a snack, and snacks are small, but I think for the actual price you would be paying, the quantity is not really justifiable. Graze provides options to deliver twice a week, once a week and once a month. The cost really adds up if you subscribe for a long period of time, and I don't really think it is worth that cost for what you get. 

After the free box, I cancelled my subscription. After eating my food. Nom.

Morrisons Gingerbread House

We recently got one of these Gingerbread House DIY sets from Morrisons, which looks very Christmassy. The photo on the box looked very impressive, I doubted I could recreate this look! …And despite my efforts, I could not! I tried my best! Included in the box are the gingerbread, plastic tray, packet of white icing and assorted sweets for decoration. The icing is already pre-made but requires you to massage it for 1 minute to soften it. However, I needed longer than this because the icing was still too hard. The gingerbread house comes in six pieces which are assembled with help of the plastic tray and some icing. This was fairly easy to do! The gingerbread smells delicious that I have to impose some self-control and not eat it… The tricky bit (and messy) was decorating the house. I found icing was difficult to do – sometimes it was too hard to get out of the bag, and sometimes it would not stick to the gingerbread itself! Trying to ice the windows and doors was a nightmar...

Edinburgh - Eteaket Tea Room and Ibis Hotel

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Luckily for us, the sun was shining as we made our way to the Eteaket tea room on Frederick Street. Eteaket is famed for its teas, and they supply many local restaurants and other cafes. The tea room itself is quite spacious and full of customers, which shows how popular it is. As well as teas, light lunches and afternoon teas are also on the menu; something to suit any occasion. I opted for a high tea, with Royal Earl Grey tea. The high tea is priced at £8.45 and includes half a sandwich of your choice (I had Scottish Ham and Cheddar Cheese), scone (fruit or plain) and a mini cake (I think I had lemon cake). Tea is also included. Eteaket uses loose leaf tea, good quality and better tasting. The waitress also brough a mini timer. When the sands run out, the tea has brewed for long enough and is ready to drink after you remove the filter. What a beautiful cup of tea! The food was tasty and filling too, making it a great value high tea...

Hey Pikachu!

On the back of Pokemon Go, there seems to be an increase of Pokemon merchandise everywhere. I got this Pikachu portable phone charger from Currys at £17.99, perfect for on the go (and playing Pokemon Go!)  Pokemon XYZ has just ended in Japan, and it is a fantastic ending (I won't give it away!) - the last few episodes are especially emotional and a great end to what has been an action packed season! A lot of people say it is the greatest season since Indigo League! The Sun and Moon anime trailers has been appearing online, and it seems like a big backward step in terms of the storytelling. A lot of people have mocked the animation style, in particular, Ash's design. Time will tell if the anime can gain as much fans as XY/XYZ...
