Cooking Disaster

So I decided to creep on Thomas and his cooking, he was a bit shy but I talked him round. He was making stir-fry with spring onions, chicken with sesame seed oil and udon noodles.
It was going to be delicious, the smell was already incredible; I love east Asian food. Thomas learnt how to make ramen curry for me (I can't cook).

Thomas was ready to add the noodles when he noticed black bits on the chicken; black bits that looked like the non-stick from the wok. The very wok I had told him to stop cooking with because it was becoming "scruffy"...



We had to abandon the food, I almost wept, well that might be an exaggeration but I was so excited for dinner. 

The wok is now in the bin, cruel beast.

Since we had wasted time cooking and having nothing to show for it we were a bit naughty and ordered pizza. Thomas and I have a bit of a problem with Papa John's Pizza, we always order too much (as you will see). We didn't even just order pizza we got dessert too.


Chicken and Bacon 



I would like to stress that our flatmate also eat some, apart from the cinnamon roll pizza style, I eat all of that baby to myself...

Thank you for reading,

On that there Youtube Part 1 Food and Creative types.

I have a bit of a Youtube problem...

When I'm bored and feeling too tired to use my brain (lazy) or when I should be doing something really important but instead I procrastinate; I am most likely found curled up in a ball somewhere watching video after video. Sometimes Thomas joins me in my nest so I'm not alone in my addiction.

Me in search of snacks mid video.
After looking through my subscriptions I realised I have a lot of favourite channels, narrowing them down to a top 5 or top 10 is just too difficult for me; so I've broken them down into neat little categories:


  • Food - Usually for my food fix I go to Reddit or Tumblr and endlessly scroll through foodporn but there are two channels I love to watch because 1. I love East Asian food and 2. I love cute stuff.
    Cooking with Dog - It's a cooking show "hosted" by a dog but the food is delicious looking and the cooking instructions are easy to follow; with over half a million subs either the dog gimmick works for people or they love staring at the food as much as I do.






    Kawaiisweetworld - As the name suggests this one is for your sweet tooth. It's a lot of very adorable desert ideas with some craft stuff in there for good measure.





  • Art - These channels are a fix of painting tips and craft ideas. Oh and cartoons.
        Simon's Cat - I have all the books and the latest one is signed; it's pretty fair to say I'm a big fan of cat cartoons.




   Art Food Kitty - Kelly Eddington's speed paintings are hypnotic. She also has watercolour guides for beginners which are pretty interesting; if you're thinking of taking up the hobby I recommend taking a look.




   Karen Kavett - Karen is a graphic designer that appears to have worked for just about everyone from Google to Youtube. She dabbles in DIY, crafting, books and "Geeky" stuff in general.




In Part 2 I will be listing my "Geeky" and Gaming subscriptions; more lists! Who doesn't love lists?
