Eating Authentic Ramen at Tokyo Ramen Takeichi

Eating Authentic Ramen at Tokyo Ramen Takeichi

Posted on by Jupiter

Whenever we travel to any country for Pokemon Go, it’s likely that our friends Molly and Husky are there. And if they are there, they always recommend the best ramen places! Husky, like me and Dann, loves ramen – so he hunts out different places and tries them all. Tokyo Ramen Takeichi seems to be a franchise, with a few different locations, but we went to the one in Amsterdam! This chain started in Japan, known for it’s heathy ramens, and has expanded into Europe over the years.

Dinner at Cote

Dinner at Cote

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have actually previously been to Cote, as it’s a French chain restaurant, that always has seasonal specials that rotate. Last time we went to one in another nearby town, Dann had one of the specials, which he very much liked. I had the beef Bourgoin, which I was inspired to make at home for our family. This time, however, we were going to the one in Welwyn Garden City, though it’s very much the same vibe as the one we’ve gone to before.

Plus Plus Hexel - Fun Large Fidget Toy

Plus Plus Hexel – Fun Large Fidget Toy

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve previously reviewed Plus Plus, which are these sort of building piece toys, which can be plugged together to make a puzzle or build something, basically. Now, the same brand, has come out with the Plus Plus Hexel – which is designed to be a fidget toy perfect for kids who like to keep their hands busy while doing other activities. Fidgets are such a popular type of toy, it does make sense to want to branch into them, especially as the Plus Plus on their own have a fun texture and can be very soothing to play around with.

Dinner at The Woodland Kitchen and Bar

Dinner at The Woodland Kitchen and Bar

Posted on by Jupiter

I went to King’s Lynn for a work event, and as we were there for an entire day, we decided to go to The Woodland Kitchen and Bar for a large, early dinner before my talk. This is actually a restaurant that’s on-site for a holiday location, but we didn’t know that when we checked Google Maps to see nearby places that Google thought I would like. Dann and I always order too much, but we especially do when everything starts coming out looking and feeling so delicious. Our experience at The Woodland Kitchen and Bar was fantastic and we did, in fact, order too much!

Brick Like This! - Fast building card game

Brick Like This! – Fast building card game

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We play a board game every other week at our local Geek Retreat, as a way to unwind after a busy Monday back to school. This time, we tried out Brick Like This! which is all about quickly talking and building with LEGO. It’s a quick action party game that does feel like a lot of fun, though it can be tricky for younger ones, so you might want to consider playing with your teens and tweens!
