A Birthday Dinner at Burger and Lobster Restaurant

A Birthday Dinner at Burger and Lobster Restaurant

Posted on by Jupiter

Dann and I went to our friend Oscar’s Birthday Party at the restaurant Burger and Lobster. Dann and I aren’t fans of burgers or lobster, and with a name like this, we weren’t really sure what we were going to eat! Excited to celebrate with our friend, however, we headed there. It was actually an extremely busy day for us, so we arrived about five minutes late. There are a few different locations, so when I entered the one we were meant to be at and the manager said we were at the wrong place, that we needed to take a train, I really thought I had messed up, until he saw I was actually getting flustered and said he was kidding, offering to get us a drink. This manager had a lot of personality!

Air Square - Long Range Frisbee

Air Square – Long Range Frisbee

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve tested a few different types of frisbees in our time, so we were pretty excited to see a new frisbee in time for the summer weather! We often spend time in our town centre and at the beach, so we often have a small number of toys that we carry around in the car, just in case we want to play. The Air Square is a new contender, so we took it to the town centre to see if it was really as good as the packaging said.

Lunch at Fireway Pizza in Harlow

Lunch at Fireway Pizza in Harlow

Posted on by Jupiter

We don’t often do lunch out, but on a particularly busy weekday, Dann and I were running errands in our local town center and decided to go for lunch at Fireway Pizza, who have a quite affordable lunch deal that essentially cuts the price of the pizzas in half, while keeping them the same shape. We both were up for pizza, so went in, as we never had actually ordered from here before.

Fireway Pizza is actually a chain that you can find around London and the few towns that are considered Greater London, though they started as one shop in 2016. Their pizzas are fired in a proper wood-fired oven, with fresh ingredients, which really makes a difference. The actual venue is very clean and well lit, with the pizzas being made right behind the glass counter, so you can see them. A lot of fast food places often feel less clean than this one, which is always a plus. Dann and I both got pizzas and a dessert.

Don't Panic - Guessing Under Pressure

Don’t Panic – Guessing Under Pressure

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Another Geek Retreat tabletop night has come around and this time Robin was super excited to play Don’t Panic, as it’s a game that takes batteries. She is one of those kids that when you mention we need to take batteries, she assumes it’s going to sing, light up, and just be so much more fun. Don’t Panic is a card game where you have a buzzer and timer, which is what needs the batteries, and otherwise is a pretty straightforward game.

NOT Korean BBQ at the Korean BBQ House Barbican

NOT Korean BBQ at the Korean BBQ House Barbican

Posted on by Jupiter

When Dann and I went with some friends to The Korean BBQ House Barbican, I was surprised at such a simple name and wasn’t sure what we were going to be eating. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and with 8 other people, so getting Korean BBQ didn’t make a lot of sense for us. I would have totally been down for a big BBQ, generally, so we agreed to come back sometime in the future and try that out. What really shocked me though, was how delicious their menu of not-Korean-BBQ-food was! We had a bunch of vegetarians and vegans with us, and there were so many good options for them too.
