I have never tried ‘Butter Beer’ before the weekend. Whenever I heard the name mentioned in the Harry Potter movies my stomach would always gargle and it never sounded that appealing to me. I always envisioned this fatty gloopy mess, served in tall pint glasses with chunks of butter bobbing up and down. I couldn’t have been […]

It’s my favourite time of year, honestly I’m in my element when it begins to pour rain, when the wind picks up, when it gets darker sooner and when the cold wraps itself around you. You have to wrap several layers just to keep the sharpness of cold out everything feels fresh and the air […]

Any good Otaku will know that the dish features across Anime and Manga from all genres. Fighting intergalactic space robots? Curry will help! Cursed by an […]
Hey I had to get the six Bs in there to celebrate one of my favourite shows returning for a sixth season! Yup last night the premier episode for the sixth season of Bob’s Burgers returned last night and if you’re anything like me you spend as much time drooling over Bob’s wonderful burger creations every […]
All these years we’ve wondered just exactly what kind of cake Princess Peach baked in order to get Mario to the castle in Super Mario 64 and now we know! While Mario and the team were busy on the karting tracks we snuck into the castle (toad guards are useless!) and pinched the recipe, seriously […]
