Long haul travel tips

Hi guys so since I have just come back from my holiday I thought I would share some long haul travel tips with you!  Sleeping on a plane can be difficult so make sure you pack enough things to keep you entertained through the flight. Tip one: make sure you pack warm comfy socks! I packed my bed socks because they are so cosey. My feet often get cold whilst flying so these made sure my feet stayed extra warm! Tip two: pack a puzzle book, reading book and a pen (or two). I always being these with me. Even if I don't do a puzzle I always know it's there just in case. Tip three: wear extremely comfy clothes. You don't want to wear super uncomfortable clothes the whole way!! Tip four: if you are transitting in a note country or if you are going to a hot country, take shorts! We stopped in Singapore so brought shorts. If we didn't we would have melted it was crazy humid!!! Tip five: try to pack light. You don't want to carry around a huge weight. And finally tip six: brin...

Making a jelly brain

Image
Hi guys. Me and tony went into a supermarket called Asda the other day. When looking through he Halloween section we came across a brain mold so we decided to make a jelly brain!!  We used two packets of jelly cubes, the mold and fresh strawberries.  Firstly we add in one packets of jelly and 265ml of boiling water. We then decided to add the other packet of jelly so added in another 265ml of boiling hot water We then stored the jelly cubes till they had gone to nothing. We then poured the jelly into the mould and put it in the fridge to begin to set. After 4 hours when the jelly had half set we cut up the strawberries into quarters We then pushed each bit of strawberry into the jelly. Make sure you don't push it all the way to bottom as this will alter the shape of the brain.  It should look something similar to this when the strawberries are in. Not all have to be used. This is very messy but fun!!  We let the jelly set over night and through most of the day. We on...

Halloween pies!

Hi guys! So seen as Halloween is right around the corner I wanted to try and Cook some Halloween inspired pies. I decided to make savoury pies as I always make sweet ones. I found it easy to make these and it didn't take to long!! I hope these inspire you to make your own Halloween themed foood!!  Preheat the oven to 160°c  To make the filling I used: Diced beef, carrots(x3), a potato, an onion, oxo cube, a table spoon of kethup and brown sauce, salt, pepper   To make the pastry I used: 225g flour, 1 egg and 115g of butter.  Filling Firstly I put the beef into a bowl and mixed a table spoon of flour and a tiny bit of salt and pepper. The flour is optional. I then diced the carrot, potato and onion(which isn't in the picture because our eyes were stinging!!!!!) Add sunflower oil (or any oil) to the pan. Fry the onion until it's soft. Put some oil in a seperate pan and cook the beef untill brown. Add the potato and carrot to the onion and fry until cooked. I also ...

Brothers 21st Birthday | Buffet | cakes | sparklers!!

Image
Hi guys!! So this weekend we celebrated  my brother(Tom) turning 21.  My brother is very much like me. Neither of us will have a huge party or want hundreds of friends around. We prefer just having family members. So we decided to  put together a family buffet. We bought hellium balloons, buntings and banners to decorate the inside and outside of the house. Tom decided on the food for the buffet as it was his birthday. So it mainly consisted of pies and more pies!! We also had food which we knew our grandparents would enjoy to:) My mum bought him a suprise cake from our local cake making place (I don't know what they are actually called)  The number two was made out of traditional vanilla sponge cake. Whilst the number one was made out of chocolate cake. I thought it would be a good idea to have things he loved put into the icing. So we had beats headphones, football, dominos pizza and Japan put into the cake with icing. It was so amazing and tasty!!  The candle...

Flight simulation and carvery

Image
Hi guys another blog post of something exciting we did for mums birthday!! On Sunday we traveled to a place in the UK called Bacup and took part in a flight simulator experience. It was good fun as we got to see what a cockpit actually looks like. There are so many buttons it looked a bit complecated!! The whole simulator was set out like a plane including the cabin, toilets and food trolleys :') Mum got to simulate a take off and landing as well as a flight from Manchester to Leeds.  There were plenty of airports to choose to land at including; Orlando, Seattle, Hong Kong, Dubai, London and many more!! This was the view we could see from the cabin when looking out of the window. It look quite realistic.  We then went to a pub next door and had a lovely pub lunch. I piled my plate high as I was so hungry :')  The best thing about an English roast is a Yorkshire pudding!! Escepically with peas and gravy. Yummmmmy :D  Check out the video...
