Lunch at Gilpin Spice – pan-Asian food

While on our anniversary in the Lakes, we always are looking for fun food to try. We both really enjoy Asian food, so on the more rainy day, we decided to go for a big lunch at Gilpin Spice, which is a restaurant attached to a hotel. You do not need to be staying at the hotel to eat here and can easily walk in and enjoy the menu that they have on offer. When we went, at about 1pm, it wasn’t too busy at all. The venue itself had bar seating that looked straight into the kitchen, as well as a bunch of tables and booths. We opted to watch the chefs cook our food! They do have a short menu at Gilpin Spice, but everything smells and tastes fantastic.

Pretty Suds SpongeBob SquarePants Bath Bomb Box

After getting the box of Pretty Suds Pokemon Bath Bombs, Robin really wanted a box of SpongeBob SquarePants themed ones! You see, she has been recently super obsessed with SpongeBob SquarePants as we watched the movies for our Girls Night and then she has been watching all of the TV series when she’s been bored at her other house. She’s basically quoting SpongeBob and sharing jokes at this point! I figured it would be pretty fun to get her this box of bath bombs, especially as Pretty Suds had done a fantastic time with the Pokemon box. Obviously, Pretty Suds doesn’t own the license, so they have some funny names for these characters.

Bob Sponge Pants Square Bath Bomb

This is just SpongeBob’s face, which is really spot on, making it Robin’s absolutely favorite. The teeth on mine were not very white, but you could really tell they were there. Bob Sponge doesn’t smell too fruity or floral, and instead is scented with coconut and dragon fruit. I think this is great for kids that don’t love strong scents, especially with how detailed SpongeBob is!

Baking with Wright’s Baking Orange Cake Mix

[Ad- gifted product] We have been a fan of Wright’s Baking since this Orange Cake Mix. It was one of the first things we picked up at our local Tesco. Orange is something Kai absolutely loves and having some sort of new muffins for breakfast is always on our list of things to do. We tend to do a lot of muffins with this mix, but Amelia choose to mix it up and make an Orange Cake Loaf to have with breakfast.

Let’s get into this week’s meals.

A Weekend Away at The Lakes Hotel and Spa

It was our 5 year anniversary, so we went to The Lakes Hotel and Spa for three days to celebrate. We actually went to this hotel last year, for our 4 year anniversary, and really fell in love with not only the area of England that we were in but also the quality of this hotel. The Lakes Hotel is fancy, and when I say fancy I do mean really fancy. On arrival, when getting to the gate, they know your name and ask about your travels. When you get in to the building, you are given a welcome glass of prosecco and a tour of the place, before your concierge takes all of your bags upstairs and shows you your room.
