SnackMagic – Gifting Lots of Snacks

Posted on August 15, 2025August 28, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] I feel that hampers are one of the best types of gifts to get, especially if the hamper has items in it that you’d use and eat. SnackMagic is an interesting way of giving gifts, as you would set your budget, then gift the ability for your friend to pick which hamper they’d like to receive. I selected the Taste of America snack box, though there was an American chocolate bar specific box, along with a large number of other snack boxes, pampering boxes, and so much more. It actually took a while for me to choose, but I felt this box would give me some nostalgia and also allow me to share some unique items with our children.

The Steak Board at Baha Bowness

Posted on August 13, 2025August 11, 2025 by Jupiter

Each year, for our anniversary, we go to The Lakes Hotel and Spa, and while there go out for food nearby. Dann picked out Baha Bowness, which was right near another restaurant we quite enjoyed, as a new place to try out. Their food looked good, a nice Korean-fusion going on, and it didn’t match that of the pubs that can be found in the area – which is exactly what we were looking for. The general vibes were great – fantastic music and good staff. It’s also a dog friendly venue, which works well with all of the people walking their dogs along the lake. They also have live music on a lot of the nights, if that’s something you’re into.

Must try in Harlow – Mui & Koko Noodle Bar

Posted on August 8, 2025August 25, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann and I go to Mui & Koko Noodle Bar roughly twice a month, and have done so for well over a year. We actually call Mui & Koko Noodle Bar “King Du”, which was their previous name, years and years back. They are a Chinese, Japanese and Korean noodle bar, with tons of huge dishes at very good prices. We tend to go often as on Wednesdays we run an event in Harlow Town with our Pokemon Go group. Every other week, we then meet up with our friends from Birmingham and a few regulars to the Pokemon Go event, we all go out to dinner, and then we go to the movies afterwards! Mui & Koko Noodle Bar is quick, delicious, and consistently all of our favorites.

[Ad- gifted product] Normally, we play board games at Geek Retreat every other Monday, but with school holidays in full swing, we are fitting in a couple of extra gaming sessions! One afternoon, Amelia and Robin pulled out Lambada and wanted to play with Dann and I. Lambada is a colorful card game, with a pretty easy to follow gameplay loop, that makes it perfect for short rounds of cards.

Dinner at Konoba Forno

Posted on July 31, 2025August 14, 2025 by Jupiter

When going back to our hotel, we kept passing Konoba Forno, which was up a small hill. One evening, in the time after exploring and before an event we were heading too, we wanted to get some food and decided on here. Though many, many people said the meat platters were the thing to have, we wanted to try something that called itself traditional. The food at Konoba Fornzo had English under it, which often stated “traditional Croatia dish” and explained what it was.

Much like everywhere we seemed to eat in Croatia, you could sit in an open-air terrace or inside. We opted for upstairs in the open air, despite it being slightly windy, primarily because the temperature was fantastic. The staff were lovely, explaining the menu to us when we had questions. I picked a dish that was in the hot starters menu, but asked if it was big enough as a main, and they said it was! Now, I cannot find the menu online so I am not completely sure of the name of the dishes.
