Paracetamol, I love you.

No, I AM NOT A DRUGGIE! ....Just sayin' 

But I have been horribly ill these past couple of days :( Zoe not well! 

I literally slept in until 1pm on Tuesday. My longest ever lie in! But did me the world of good.

And to add to that, I realised I had not posted anything  for the past 11 days - Bad Zoe! My apologies!

So basically, I went out with all my friends on Saturday night.....hahahahaha - Yeah, that's pretty much how it went, I found everything hilarious and I don't know why, no I WAS NOT drunk.

Anyway, This is just one of those quick posts to let you know I am still alive, kind of, apart from the fact my throat feels like it's about to explode and I can't pop my ears AND everytime I stand up, I feel tipsy and dizzy and have to sit down again. FUN TIMES! 

Anyway, hopefully, next week will be a little more exciting than last week (reason for lack of blogging by the way) and I'll have some stuff to share with you :D

Sandwich of the year?

A little lunch-time sandwich possibility for you guys...

I'm not a chef or self-proclaimed sandwich making champion but I did just make a really tasty sandwich/roll for my brother and myself so I thought i'd share it with you:

All you need: 

A nice bread roll/bocadillo/baguette

 Butter

Camembert/Brie cheese (whichever one you want to call it, tastes the same- right?

Pip-less red grapes

Mayonnaise

Ham (optional)

Basically all I did was, heat up or grill the  bread rolls for about a minute (microwave or oven) then sliced them open, buttered them, mayonnaise-d the top part, slice up some Camembert cheese and spread all over. Then, I sliced up some grapes and stuck them on top, and covered it with a slice of ham.

Then you can either microwave them or put the rolls under the grill, just so the cheese can melt, for a couple of minutes and voila! Lunch is ready! 

It tasted really nice, but unfortunately, I didn't think of this filling all by myself. I first had this taste-bud beauty when I was visiting England and I got it at a petrol station after a night out in the form of a pannini, courtesy of Costa ;) 

So, there you go, just a random post about a sandwich but I just thought i'd share the love. 

Enjoy! 

Thanks for reading!

Hunt for an advent calendar!

I can't believe how unorganized I've been this year, especially on something so important....CHOCOLATE! 

I woke up this morning and suddenly, it dawned on me, it's the 1st December and I don't have an advent calendar! What?! 

So my big brother, who is here for the weekend, and I got ready and went to the supermarket, Mercadona, the most popular one and we thought "Oh Spanish people don't celebrate Christmas, there will be loads left" WRONG! there was nothing, just some fruit cake thing that you're supposed to eat on Christmas day, no chocolate in it whatsoever :(

NEXT, we tried Iceland, a typical English supermarket, of course they'll still have some? But on second thoughts, I live in a really English town, and these advent calendars would probably have been out for weeks, they'll be all gone. Yeah, this time i was right. 

We then tried Aldi, German supermarket, they do nice chocolate but are they big on the whole Christmas thing? No, is the answer to that question. They're big on the whole fruitcake and marzipan but no advent calendars. 

By then we were about to give up but decided we could just buy a box of chocolates and eat one every day until Christmas day! 

Soon enough, we bought a bag of chocolate coins each, conveniently containing 24 coins (success!) and a chocolate Santa each (Just because, who doesn't like chocolate Santas?)

(My brother and his purchases)

So at the end of the day, we didn't get the advent calendar we hoped for but we did get a lot more chocolate for two people for the price of one advent calendar! Happy days!

(I highly doubt this will be in one piece by the end of next week)

Thanks for reading!
