When I think of winter warmers; I think of hot food and drinks, but you probably suspected that anyway. Therefore, I thought I'd include a few of my favourite hot beverages that you can enjoy around Brum at this time of year. I've picked these in particular, because of the taste, and the festive settings. [...]
I've just realised that my title doesn't really work that well, as there were definitely poker chips on the table; I was referring to my meal, which had none of the fried, potato kind. Anyway, back to the task in hand; describing my VIP experience at Grosvenor Casino on Broad Street. Having never been into [...]
It was a Sunday, and also the day that my mom (best person ever) brought me out into the world safely 34 years ago. As she was off in New York with my dad, having a right nice time; I asked my husband to book us in somewhere for a Sunday lunch, as this would [...]
After only hearing good things about Los Banditos in Sutton Coldfield (my hometown, and where my parents and many of my friends live); I thought I'd book a table for my friends and I on a Friday night, to kick off a weekend of birthday celebrations. 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've had a little break from blogging; mainly because I managed to catch whatever has been in the Birmingham air (eww) a couple of weeks ago now. Autoimmune conditions don't take kindly to any sort of virus or infection, so my blood sugars have been everywhere, and I have also developed a Sudafed dependency. Wow, [...]
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 [...]
I was super excited to be trying out the food and drinks at Tamatanga...on a Monday night. After perusing the menu online; it was pretty hard getting through the day, as I was dreaming about curry and cocktails (this happens on days that I'm not eating out too). A bright and warm environment greeted my [...]
