#BlogLife1086 - Ever tried Baklava? (baklawa)

Pity, Iceland has sold out of the blue skies comfort, my favourite and have substituted it with the white one..

Hmm, I wonder if I will like it? Very confusing to have the cheaper bigger ml bottle, say it contains less washes than the more expensive but less ml bottle..

It does smell nice actually, thank heavens.

Cheaper one wins! I'm finally going to try the Baklava (baklawa) by Dina, £2.50 for a big box.. That's actually a small one

Hopefully will have the energy for a picture, I should take out the bins but I don't want too..

Ah the other things that are new are, Punjabi veggy samosas, £2.50 for 4 maybe? Hmm..

Ok, I love the pastry, it's seasoned with a hint of spice, the filling is ok.

Would I buy it again? I'm not sure. I think I like this pastry but with Iceland basic filling, those potato and veggies better..

So I have no idea, if I'll get it again, probably :)

And Southern fried chicken chunks £4 bag. I thought outside would be noisy but maybe they cancelled the community, get together, planning for an excursion thing?

I hear no noise but cars in and out.. That's good, probably isn't blocking access then.

I'm not sure why I don't have an appetite. I made myself finish the pasta, I enjoyed it but I wasn't really in the eating mood.

But it's late so I had too. I tried one baklawa piece, primarily because it's tiny.

And for once that's a good thing. It's so delicate, the pastry but infused with flavour.

Sweet, nutty, not messy, I was expecting syrup but it's definitely not dry.

I ended trying a filled one, seemed like jam, tasted a bit like that too, very nice.

I'm so glad it's not sickly, that was another concern but so far, I've loved everything I've tried.

Supposedly handmade, I have nothing to compare it too. I'm glad it's not filled with raisins or currants, well that piece wasn't.

Just plain but far from boring. I wonder how the other ones are?

It's a mini dessert really, it will definitely last a while. I can't face anymore food.

I'll just sip ice water. I put the pictures on twitter and took out the bins, I am sleepy.

It wasn't the regular Iceland guy but I just held the bags to be packed because I was just empty and sore and he didn't complain.

I wonder how you are supposed to store it.. Oh I have to wash off my makeup.

Just the usual foundation and pinky/purply hybrid eyeshadow.

Oh yea and finally spent that £10 I had in my purse for months..

My Oyster was near empty so I need it for travel, might as well use it up. That is an essential.

Ok phew, twitter is working again, it had just emptied my timeline and I wasn't sure if I was banned or the server was down or what...

I keep getting these pathetic warnings from them, that I'm supposedly spamming or my account isn't legitimate...

I will not be surprised if one day I log on and my account has been deleted permanently and because they are pushing to sign up for paid accounts....

I just feel this is the reason, to get rid of the free users, which is a shame.

I advertise the blog, the stories. I have a lil rant, here and there. I gossip about the shows..

I enter competitions but like I said, there will still be ways to follow this blog.

Via FollowIt, the email subscription, or bookmarking the page..

Or eventually maybe I will have had enough of twitter and switch to an alternative..

But I'll let you know :)

Oh and nothing from P, who is but a distant timewasting memory.
