So, I was invited to an evening of whiskey (which can also be spelt whisky! I know, who knew? Well, Vicky did actually) tasting. I'm not drinking. "Don't worry! There'll be food, and some of the best company in Brum". I'm there. What food though? Where is it? Can I smell the whiskies instead? It's [...]
You may have read this title and thought, WTF is she banging on about now. Fair enough. However, this probably means that you haven't suffered social anxiety or agoraphobia before (I envy you so bad); that's cool, this post might still give you some ideas in regards to getting your next caffeine fix. I bloody [...]
I have lived just off St Paul's Square in the JQ for over 4 years now, and there has been a friend on the square, with whom I've become very attached. Saint Kitchen has had a couple of makeovers since I arrived in the area, and has got better and better each year. It now [...]
Brunch is by far my favourite meal; it's better than breakfast because it feels so leisurely, but you get to have all the breakfast-type foods you can think of. For me, brunch must always include coffee and eggs; the rest can vary (if you want to hand me a glass of fizz, and add some [...]
Hello and a very happy new year! If you're embarking on clean/healthy eating to detox after Christmas; I'll stop you right now and suggest you save this post for another month.

Why have one birthday shindig, when you can have [...]
Last week I was invited to attend an event in Aluna; a plush canal-side bar and restaurant. I'd never been before and was excited to see what the venue was like. If I venture outside of the JQ, I tend to head towards The Mailbox and the surrounding canal areas, as I find them pretty [...]
On the same night that I had a right nice time pressing for Champagne in The Edwardian Tearooms; I was also invited to go and sample some new ciders on the scene, at The Stable. Having visited before to indulge in carby, cheesy circles of heaven, and one of their cider tasting boards (I highly [...]
The beautiful Laura, aka Bite Your Brum, was kind enough to offer me the place of her plus one for an event called "Press For Champagne" last week. Because I'm a level-headed, adult woman; I said yes immediately, and was the first one to turn up outside Birmingham's Museum & Art Gallery, where the event [...]
I first headed to the freshly opened Kanteen to meet up with Laura from Bite Your Brum to discuss food (mainly cheese), and grab a coffee. By the time we had decided to meet up; I'd already eaten my breakfast/brunch at Saint Kitchen, so I was too full up to sample their food. Laura hadn't [...]
