Quorn Vegetarian Frankfurters - Asda

I like meat. My fiancee is vegetarian. I tend to do the cooking. This combination means that I tend to want to find a few more exciting things to add to recipies to spice up meal time. I managed to convince her that quorn can be nice when cooked correctly with a good sauce, as bad quorn can be mushy and bland. I really like herta frankfurters. You get 100g of pasta, put in a pan with water and bring to the boil. Add 5 frankfurters with a few cuts to make them explode out and go back to the xbox for 10 min. Drain and add sauce and leafy greens and you have a propper meal with no effort. I did the same with the quorn frankfurters, the only difference being that you get 4 sausages in a pack to share instead of 10 and we had smiles instead of pasta. This seemed stingy when cooking but on eating this was ample. They were really really firm and massivly filling. It's like vegetarians didn't realise that even the best sausages aren't solid meat. My fiancee managed half a sausage before giving up due to their general texture and taste being alien to her veggie stomach. I ate the remaining but it sat really heavily and I didn't enjoy it. I love quorn but they are at their best when not copying meat dishes directly and just being influenced by them.

Lightning Bugs - Cyber Candy

Grown up birthdays are hard. Everyone has their own money and better ideas of what they actually want so to avoid spending lots on something disappointing I tend to give cash or vouchers. This is a little impersonal though so a little novelty gift is also required to indicate that I did try to think of something but failed. This is where these lightning bug sweets come in. They are just a bag of typical jelly sweets. Very nice ones as it turns out, soft and squidgey. The important thing is the plastic tweezers. These have a little battery and two led lights which causes the sweets to light up as you pick them up. This adds a lot to the experience and we were talking about how great it would be at halloween to give out glowing sweets to visiting children. Over all these are well worth the inflated price for the few sweets you get and you can reuse the tweezers with future jelly sweets.
