Food stuff (kind of): 42 flowers your can't eat

An article I was really glad to read: You don't have to be local (I grew up in a village which has a strong community but I never had interest in taking part, and occasionally felt guilty about it).

Vivienne Westwood and Virgin Travel have hooked up!

How to glitter a concrete floor.

17 signs you've been together too long.

I'm big on businesses using social media, but some businesses should just stay off it. Such as funeral homes.

Texting hurts your grammar.

I couldn't really ever say Missouri was high on my to-travel list, but I think this museum has changed my mind. 

And people wonder why I don't want kids: creepy things kids say.

Over and out!

Dinner at Mama's Rasoi

Dinner at Mama's Rasoi




As I mentioned yesterday, my mum was in G-town over the weekend and she offered to take my out for dinner at a place of my choosing. I hit up 5pm.co.uk where I came across a few choices but fell in love when I came across the Mama's Rasoi menu which had a ma-ooh-sive veggie selection. Plus, it's near my flat so it totally won the ooh-ing and ahh-ing over restaurants conundrum pretty quick. 

Mama's Rosa is an Indian situated right beside the St Enoch Centre, on Howard Street. It's small and has a very cosy feel so was a really good choice for a mother and daughter dinner. 



After drooling over the unlimited (slight exaggeration) veggie selection I went for the Malai Kofta. The combination of cottage cheese balls in a cashew nut sauce wasn't something I had ever come across before but cheese and cashew nuts are two of my favourite things and let me tell you, it was delicious! My mum also had a Paneer Mushroom Masala, and even though she liked it she agreed mine was the bees knees!



Along with our meal we has some absolutely delectable garlic naan bread, alongside some rice and two glasses of Mango Lassi which was to die for. My mouth is watering again writing all this. 



If it isn't clear I 100% ridiculously recommend Mama's Rasoi. The only thing I will say is the portions are pretty small so buy two curry's if you're hungry. But at their prices two curries will still cost less than a tenner. Nae bother. It was mum-friendly, and I'd say it would also be perf for a couple who had been together for a while and two girlfriends going for a chinwag.

Also, they are not licensed but you are welcome to bring your own.

I like to stay out of ~internet dramaz~ but I agree with the nasty side of blogging.

Naughty American Apparel.

I love Charlene's recent wishlist (look at that cat skirt!).

Admittedly, I had been going off Gala Darling recently as it seemed she was neglecting her blog, but she's regained her momentum in the last few weeks with some awesome daily posts!

A great post on building self-esteem.

If you're going to San Francisco soon The Guardian have a round-up of blogs you might one to check out. One of the blogs is a burrito blog, I mean come on!

On that note, impress the locals with your knowledge on how San Fransisco streets got their names. (On a side note: I've not been actively Googling SF but I went there when I was six and it remains one of my favourite cities to date).

Top 10 questions millennials ask on the internet.

One of my most dedicated IRL followers got a blog: everyone go say hi to Steph!

I also discovered some Aberdonian blogs this week: The Honest Type, Liparazzi, A Scottish Lass, Twenty Something Beauty, Keeping Up With Katie and The Baking Fashionista (if you're knew to the party I was born in Aberdeen, high five to my quines!).

Another blog discovered this week: Making It Lovely.

And an online magazine aimed towards professional women: Your Coffee Break.

Finally, seven people who prove English majors aren't worthless.

Dressing as Denmark at Eurovision (or Switzerland, or Netherlands)

Dressing as Denmark at Eurovision (or Switzerland, or Netherlands)













 


Absolutely 100% congratulations to Denmark at this year's Eurovision. It is thanks to you I had an excuse to be a little more tipsy than usual. And might have a cheeky trip to Copenhagen next year. 

As usual I decided my country a little bit in advanced. For me picking a country for Eurovision (or any other fancy dress costume) is just sometimes about what feels right and in about February I set my eyes on Denmark - long before they were tipped to win.

This costume was bought from Jokers Masquerade which is where I get a lot of my costumes from. I was a bit apprehensive about picking this for Denmark as it is a actually a Heidi costume so would have been more suited if I had picked Switzerland but I thought it looked similar enough to some traditional Danish costumes I had Googled. The bouncer at ABC thought I was Dutch though so I suppose it is quite a versatile costume. ;)

The shoes are my default going out shoe from New Look and the Carlsberg comes courtesy of everyone's favourite British supermarket Tesco.

Did you dress up for Eurovision this year?

Eurovision Party Food 2013

Eurovision Party Food 2013





In case you hadn't heard Saturday was Eurovision. And I had a party which was essentially me and some friends watching the show wearing fancy dress. And some of my friends brought food which we pigged on (and also brought alcohol, which we drank up).  

Bringing food to the yearly Eurovision party me and my friend have is optional, however the year it was my turn to host I was especially lucky to have loads of my guest bring food. Gillian brought loads of French themed goodnees across from Edinburgh including strawberry macaroons, French onion dip, breadsticks, Camembert cheese, mini-quiches (both veggie and meat), crisps as well as 'champagne' and Chambord. Completely showed up my Danish pastries and Carlsberg but it all my other guests agreed she did a delish job. 

My other friend also came as Belgium and brought along waffles and chocolates, whereas my friend who was Malta brought along Malteasers. Within the mix we also had some Gin for UK, nettle cheese from the Dutch stall at last week's food stall in St Enoch square, baguettes and Swedish vodka. 

And a lot of it was also left at mine to have a cheeky hungover munch the next day.
