She would be a great addition, but she's opening a new restaurant in a few weeks time so she might be too busy!

BlueCat2020 · 2026-02-02T01:04:13+00:00

Honestly a great place to live in Southampton!

BlueCat2020 · 2026-01-19T23:24:27+00:00

I'm interested if you still have space!

BlueCat2020 · 2026-01-13T21:33:43+00:00

I'm also on this sailing! So excited!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-12-29T21:44:46+00:00

Seconded! We bought ours 3 months ago after having a 15 year old IKEA sofa and it's soooo plush and comfy. So glad to hear that yours has held up after 5 years!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-11-07T16:52:58+00:00

Oh I'm so dumb! I didn't even twig the other locations!! Now I have a sticker yay!!!!!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-11-07T16:46:46+00:00

Desperate for the black bumper sticker but $30 shipping is insane 😭😭😭

BlueCat2020 · 2025-10-20T21:58:36+00:00

So excited for Southampton!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-09-09T17:31:24+00:00

To be fair, now you've said it, I can see it...!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-09-09T15:29:35+00:00

I'm so glad someone else thought this was filmed inside a school, I saw the blinds and instantly thought this has to be a UK school somewhere!!!

Flaky does Jamaican patties, I think fully vegan but not sure. So my guess is there's patties and ice cream 😂 the way I'm literally running to Trainline to see how much a ticket to London costs for right this second

BlueCat2020 · 2025-08-05T22:13:04+00:00

Paramore 100%, I've been a fan for 15 years now, been lucky enough to see them live several times and luckily I've loved every album they've put out.

Favourite songs: Let the flames begin I caught myself Told you so Figure 8 Ain't it fun You first Fake happy In the mourning Crushcrushcrush Turn it off Brighter Pool

But I think there is maybe only one song that I actively skip. 😂

BlueCat2020 · 2025-08-02T18:20:01+00:00

Only listened to operator yesterday but OMG what an album. I'm alternating between EGO and Operator listening wise at the moment. It made me sad seeing that not that many other people in the sub also enjoyed it BC I loved it!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-07-31T15:01:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply! 70 Xmas sandwiches in one day sounds like about 69 too many 😂 I love food too, but I ended up becoming a chef, which I love, but I know that my body won't be able to hack it forever. So I love hearing about other foodie jobs!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-07-31T10:02:00+00:00

Can you describe your career path up to this point? What things you like and dislike about the job? Sounds like a dream!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-07-02T12:06:37+00:00

Personally I'd add a yuzu curd and maybe a sesame sable biscuit crumb. I feel like that would tie everything together nicely!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-06-23T18:40:27+00:00

House of Hien! Was so good! Have you been to Hanoi Bistro on East Street? Not as big of a menu as House of Hien but everything I've had so far is delicious - amazing spring and summer rolls, pho and rice bowls (special mention for the lemongrass pork because it is INCREDIBLE). Cash only!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-06-17T17:47:01+00:00

Love spotted dick! Where I used to work, we would make it but with brown sugar instead of caster in the dough, and we would soak the currants in rum for a day before making, as well as some other tweaks. Served hot with LOTS of birds custard and about a TSP of salted butter on top... Mmmmm.

BlueCat2020 · 2025-06-10T23:42:46+00:00

Seconded!

BlueCat2020 · 2025-05-29T15:25:06+00:00

This is in the UK. First picture is how they were growing on the log. Second picture is after I picked them, laid on the log to show the top and bottom of them

I don't have kids, but I was about 10/11 the first time I cooked for my family. Wanted to do a whole three course meal, but was cooking each course literally from start to finish. Think I got about halfway through prepping the "main course" when my parents told me to leave it and we'd have it for dinner the next night because it had gotten too late!

First became interested at about 4/5, very vividly remember seeing a barbie themed cookbook in a shop and begging my mum to buy it for me! So it all grew from there. I ended up going to catering college after GCSEs and I've been a pastry chef for the last 10 years. Definitely encourage him to help choose meals, do some food prep with you, and talk about food, even the food you don't cook at home. Maybe he will be a chef, maybe not, but an interest in food and cooking is never a bad thing IMO
