A s’mores twist on crispy rice and marshmallow treats (often known by the brand name “Rice Krispies Treats”). Marshmallows are already part of the usual recipe, so this adds chocolate and graham crackers, giving them a darker color.

Trying out Marmite for the first time. It definitely has an intense umami/savory flavor, and the aftertaste is a bit bitter although it’s not that bad on buttered toast.

I did avoid the mistake of putting too much in one go. As shown in the picture, a thin layer on top of the butter is enough for most people (certainly enough for me).

I’ve started using a “smooth edge” can opener recently and honestly I don’t think I can go back to a traditional one.

Within hours of posting my listing on Facebook Marketplace, I was contacted by a “buyer” that ultimately turned out to be a scammer.

A breakfast burrito is a convenient way to enjoy your favorite breakfast fixings, and it’s easy to adjust to your preferences (or whatever you have in your kitchen).

French toast is a simple dish with just three main ingredients: bread, egg, and milk. Normally it’s golden yellow but this version is dark brown because I’ve added brown sugar. I like it because the sweetness is already inside and you don’t need to add any syrup.

First attempt at a pork sausage loosely based on white pudding.
