#BlogLife831 - Mash up

On my continued quest to try new products and review, I saw something interesting.

I'm not the biggest fan of mashed potatoes. I don't know why, I can have it in small doses and over Christmas it was great but generally speaking, I can leave without it.

However, I get sick of foods really easily so I thought what is a good filling side dish, that I haven't tried?

Reeva's instant mashed potatoes ha. They had a few varieties. It was 50p for a 40g pot and I got the butter and herbs and maybe the chicken one.

You're supposed to boil the water and then add it and stir and boom ready.

But I don't have a kettle so I fill it with cold water, shove it in the microwave for 4 minutes, leave it, return and all set.

My whole place smelled of butter ha. It's very indulgent, creamy, buttery, they could have scaled back on the butter.

It's tasty and probably high in calories but I'm just not sure I would buy it again.

Maybe it needs gravy? It's just too strong for me. The price is good, there is a lot inside.

But I'm struggling to even eat half. It's like eating butter. I'll stick to the potato pops, the mini roast potatoes, they are much nicer.

There wasn't much indoors so I decided on a different day to try the Reeva chicken version, holy moly what a difference.

It might sound a bit odd to have the chicken flavouring but actually this was sooo much better.

It wasn't overpowering, I even ate the whole thing, it was tasty. It just doesn't need a whole lot of butter and cream to make it good.

I think down the road, I might just opt for the plain version, if ever I want a lil snack.

As I was out of snacks, I did a mini Ocado zoom shop, they still have the lunch for a fiver so I got the egg sandwich, which seems like they've changed the recipe.

They had small leaves and I'm not normally a fan, but this had a flavour boost, it was simple but delicious.

Plus I got the accidental salted caramel twix, I assumed it was the plain version but nope, it was just sweeter than the normal, it's not my preference but wasn't as bad as I thought.

Two new things to try, I saw a Colombian coffee sponge roll 200g £2.40 and the Pizza Express dough balls.

I've always wanted to try them but wasn't sure if I would like them.

Tesco used to do these mini dumpling thingys. It was like small bready mini chunks, that were dry but moreish.

I haven't seen anything like it so I wonder if the dough balls are similar?

These have either a garlic dip or are made with garlic, I'm not too sure.

I am too stuffed to eat anything else, after the sandwich and twix.

I might be bloated because the cramps are continuing this week, although I don't feel sicky at the moment.

Still no sign of the Glow face wash but the Amazon tops are despatched, they predict it will arrive next week before the month ends.

I was just looking up when the UK's Mama's Day is here, it's at the end of March 30th to be precise.

I thought it would have been earlier. She's away on her trip, so might wait until she returns to put together something.
