Personal Note
I read a lot of "loving at the moment" lists so I thought I'd put one together. As you can imagine, a lot of it is food or television related. Such is the life of a sloth.
What I'm loving right now:
Podcasts: S-town, the new podcast from the makers of Serial about a misanthropic, charismatic man called John B McLemore from a small town in Alabama with an eidetic memory and a brilliant mind. It's only seven episodes long so easily digestible and they've dropped all of the episodes at once which I love. I also love the podcast My Favourite Murder. You know that conversation you have with people about serial killers and you can't stop talking about the most terrifying serial killer (BTK for me!). Well these two women have made a Podcast and it's like talking with your friends. Except they're talking and you're not but you know what I mean.
Stand up comedians on Netflix: Crista Alonzo's Lower Classy, Ali Wong's Baby Cobra and Dave Chappelle because we all need a laugh nowadays.
Dumplings: say no more right? It's getting cold here!
Jumpers: specifically stealing Mr NQN's chunky knitted jumpers.
Chai lattes: it was pointed out to me a while back that I am a very predictable drink orderer. I was in Melbourne and Nina was in Sydney and she knew that I had just sat down at a cafe. "I know you just ordered a chai latte" she said spookily as if she were looking over my shoulder. Ooh and I have the very best chai latte recipe to share with you soon too!
And of course four day Easter long weekends coming up and playing tricks on people with food too!
So tell me Dear Reader, what are you loving lately? And what do you think of creme eggs?
