Salty snacks

I’ve been craving salt recently. I’m guessing it’s cause of the humidity and a bit of sweating. I usually have electrolytes but I’ve run out (yes they’re on the shopping list). I mentioned this to the chiropractor and she checked me. Totally agreed that I need more salt. Let’s face it, I have to be different.

So on my way back, I stopped for some salty snacks. Can’t beat salted peanuts or salty popcorn. It was only when I got home that I realised I’d accidently picked up sweet popcorn. Doh!

At least a packet of peanuts hit the salty craving.

Eyes bigger than

I gave my 64th blood donation today. One of the best bits is the post-donation snacks. Well that and knowing that I could be saving a life of course. Today I picked popcorn. I love popcorn. But it’s not something I have very often.

I love the fact this is a mix of sweet and salty. Always what I ask for at the cinema.

However, I didn’t quite appreciate how big the bag was. Definitely a case of eyes bigger than my belly! I couldn’t finish it. So came home with half a bag. And unlike the cinema, I won’t be finding it in random places. How does that happen?! Guess it’s a bit like hay. Gets everywhere…

Sweet treat

I was given a sweet treat today while I was peopling. One of the clients brought in a crème egg for us all. Very sweet indeed.

For many years, I found crème eggs too sweet. But they’ve either changed the recipe or my tastes have changed, cause this one wasn’t too bad.

It reminded me of having to order enough crème eggs for people at Aviva when we did the name change. We had the idea of ‘how do you wear yours?’ to encourage people to switch their security pass to the new branding. It worked as we didn’t have many passes or eggs left.
