What I ate Wednesday 02.12.2015

Hey Guys,
Look at me committing to this for two days in a row.
Today, I thought I’d go for a slightly easier post idea because it’s Wednesday, and let’s face it, everyone is exhausted on a Wednesday.
I’ve slightly stolen a common blog idea, but hey ho, here is my ‘What I Ate Wednesday’. With that said, I must admit that I couldn’t have timed this worse because I’ve had a whole day of filming today, so all of my meals have been quick and messy, which is what I shall use as an excuse for my poor cooking skills.
Breakfast
Breakfast didn’t go as according to plan this morning. Last night, I thought I’d chop up some mango ready for this morning, seeing as I had an early start and am awful at waking up on time. This idea was, however, quick to fail when I ended up eating all the mango last night as it was delicious!
Instead, I had some Golden Syrup porridge with blackcurrant jam.
Visually, it looks beyond disgusting, but taste wise, it’s amazing. Besides, what better way to start the day than with a tonne of sugar and a cup of tea!
Lunch
Lunch was mediocre and almost forgotten. I didn’t have time to make a full salad, so ended up with lettuce, courgette and carrot, with a little sprinkle of salt, which at least cheers me up as it reminds me of summer. I also packed a Peanut 9 Bar (which I forgot to eat) and Pink Grapefruit squash.
Dinner
Dinner was largely improvisation. When I went shopping, I picked up something which I believed to be sun-dried tomato pesto… turns out it actually said sun-dried tomato paste (curse you reading!). As a result, I changed my original dinner plan and went for whole wheat spaghetti with prawns, artichoke hearts and olives in a sun-dried tomato sauce…and it was DELICIOUS!
This was followed by my advent calendar chocolates, and these remembrance poppy chocolates that my Aunty had bought me.


I must admit, I do usually eat a lot more, but because it's nearing Christmas, there's just becoming less time to eat! Maybe I'll do better next week...

Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical Review

Image
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Meatloaf fan. Spending the last twenty years of my life (which is getting worryingly closer to 21) being raised on the likes of Meatloaf, has led to his music, along with Jim Steinman’s lyrics, to symbolise more than words can put into perspective – which could explain why my levels of both excitement and gut-wrenching panic made it to new heights when I was informed I would be seeing Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical. With pre-show nerves, induced by the fear of what was about to happen to the songs that have shaped me into who I am, I entered the Coliseum Theatre, London, and headed straight to the bar. This is when the immersive nature of the show began. With a bottle of Pride of Obsidian in my hand, I took my seat and began reading The Obsidian Times. A small group of actors took to the stage, background acting around a motorbike whilst remaining audience members took to their seat. Then it began – and I was utterly blown away. So much...

'The Band' Musical Review

Image
Take That are probably the biggest boyband from the nineties, shooting to fame with their daring fashion, cheesy dance moves and timeless songs - so it’s no wonder that their new musical, The Band, is excelling in ticket sales, with many fans eager to see how their favourite teenage to modern day tunes are portrayed. In yet another scripting masterpiece from Tim Firth, The Band is not a tale of Take That, but instead, a highly intelligent and emotive story set between two concerts 25 years apart, and a group of five friends, who tragically become four, and the way in which music has shaped their lives. Tim Firth features all the hits of Take That, in ways I did not expect or imagine, and uses the songs as a way to enrich the storyline, as opposed to just cram them in for the sake of it. The show is instantly relatable for music lovers of any music taste and age, embracing the theme of musical idols as well as those of friendship, ageing and loss. Featuring realistic humou...

Hamlet at Almeida Theatre Review *Spoiler Free*

Image
William Shakespeare is one whom I would commonly refer to as the literary equivalent to marmite: you either love his work with a passion or utterly despise it. I guess you could blame the fact that it is commonly force fed down your throat at school reading ‘thou’ after ‘thus’ until the English lesson finally ends – yet, I feel appreciation would grow more if everyone was taken to the theatre to see Shakespeare’s work where it is at its best, just as I was for Hamlet at the Almeida Theatre, London. Image by Miles Aldridge Having only read a couple of pages of the play, and previously seeing an amateur dramatic group’s rendition, my knowledge only stretched to the basic plot, as well as knowing the common line “to be, or not to be”, but due to the number of deaths that many of my peers have told me about, I knew this would be something of interest to me, not to mention the incredible casting that had been achieved. Surrounding the lead protagonist of Prince Hamlet (Played...
