Storytime// KFC & other first world problems

posted by Rose Cocoa

So.
I was on holiday with my family in Dublin. It’s was my first time and it was a short weekend break kind of holiday and I was excited!
We arrived at our Airbnb on Friday and the next day, we went straight into the town centre for breakfast. We had to decide between the burrito shop and KFC.
We had a voted KFC because CHICKEN.
We entered the store and there was just us and another family so I thought it was safe enough to leave my phone and bag on the table. I didn’t really have anything valuable in my bag except my phone and even that wasn’t valuable it was one of those cheap Chinese phones from the internet so I figured it’d be safe.
I went to the till and ordered my meal, returned to our table and
IT WASN’T THERE.
I thought maybe left it at the till but, no. Then I thought my brother was playing some sort of prank on me and I wish he was.
I got my mum to call my phone then I remember that it's on silent. She called anyway and it wasn’t going through.
And that’s when I realised that it was stolen. I was upset but I didn’t even cry. I just. Let it go.
And my family were wondering why the hell I wasn’t acting upset at all.
That’s when I realised that I have no heart.
Two days later I ordered a new phone and I was a proud owner of an iPhone so I’d like to thank the thief for stealing my phone in KFC because I now have a better phone and I’m eating more healthily because I don’t go to KFC anymore.
Other than that, the trip was pretty good!
So I guess good things happen for a reason.

5 Things Thursday// Uni Food Cupboard

posted by Rose Cocoa

So, I’ve spent six months at Uni and I’d like to say that I’ve pretty much mastered the art of surviving the uni kitchen. Not going to lie, my mums cooking will always be the best in the word and mine will never compare. But there will come a time where you’ll realise that living off pizza and ramen noodles is not the way to go.

So here are five food cupboards under £5 to help you through Uni

• Spicy Seasoning.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   This is a life saver. When I first started my culinary adventure. I realised how dull my food was because the only “Seasoning” I had brought with me was Salt and trust me, It wasn’t fun to eat, So when I got home, I raided my spice cupboard and brought this seasoning back to uni and I’ve never looked back.
• Coconut oil. 

Ok. Coconut oil is basically the elixir of life. It can be used for cooking and for skin care and for hair care

• Coffee- You need to stay awake for those Monday morning lectures

• Green tea
  I dunno, I always feel like I’m being healthy when I drink green tea. Apparently it's great for flushing out toxins?? I need to fact check this.
• Cheese sauce Granules
  Saving the best for last. This is probably the best thing ever invented next to pizza, sliced bread, and toothbrushes. Honestly. I am in love. Buying cheese is expensive. Buy too much and you end up wasting, buy too little and you would have to buy increasingly each week. In comes Cheese sauce granules. This is great for mac and cheese and other cheesy sauce foods

What is a must have in your food cupboard?
