Adventures and Naps

Do you like sci-fi?? You gotta watch it!

We watched the latest film Oxygen which I had never heard of nor did I know what it was about.

And I thought it was awesome.

If you like sci-fi and films that are a bit different, I would totally recommend it. But don't read the synopsis! Go into the film with no knowledge and you'll love it even more. It's in French, though, so you'll need to set down your phone and read the subtitles.

Also I love Mélanie Laurent - she's wonderful.

Overall I really e...

Welcome to Butler's Kitchen!

This week we're trying a ~mystery~ recipe! Hope you like the video!

If you'd like to check out the recipe, I've attached it to this post. Happy cooking, everyone!

Pretty good!

Recently I went to the cinema and saw House of Gucci - it was pretty good! I didn't know the real story, which I think helped, so I had no idea how it was going to end. It's long, though, and my butt was getting tired by the end. 

Good performances, though! Although the fake-Italian accents is a bit weird at first.. but eventually you stop noticing it.

Overall it was a good movie! It was nice seeing a movie in a theatre again, too.

December Book Club!

Nothing says getting into the Christmas spirit like a bloody crime-thriller lol

This month I'll be reading The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. You can get it via Amazon here if you'd like to read along.

A bunch of people have mentioned this one before and it's been a best-seller, so why not give it a try!

Happy November, everyone!! I find that November is one of the crappiest months so I decided to put up our Christmas tree early - it always looks so much nicer!

Do you guys wait for a specific day to put up your tree, or just whenever you feel like it?

November Book Club Review - I LOVED IT!

This month I read The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and I truly loved it! Honestly, I finished it in like, 3 days. It was really sweet and funny and clever! I've never read a book set so specifically in Kent before, so that was fun, too!

If you'd like to read this one, you can get it via Amazon here. 

I'll definitely be reading the second and third book in the future, but I think I'm goin...

Happy Saturday, everyone!

This week we're ranking the best British crisps, plus a rant about Hermes AND 2 PO Box surprises! As before, I've added Chapters to the Youtube video so you can jump around if you like!

Hope you guys have a great day!

Who said it's not Spooky Month?

Recently my partner mentioned that he's never seen Insidious - so we had to watch it!

I remember it being really creepy but with a silly ending. It's pretty much as I thought, but it didn't hold up too well, either. It's still a pretty fun, spooky film but not as scary as I remember it being. I still think The Conjuring is a lot scarier if we have to pick a better Patrick Wilson horror film!

I don't think I ever bothered watching the othe...

Happy Saturday!!!

This week's video is a look into a day in my life! Wow, it's really thrilling!!

I get into a big speech about overnight oats lol I know. Here's the video I mentioned.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!!

Fabulous show!

If you're looking for a new show, I can't recommend Yellowstone enough! There's currently 3 seasons out, (all ready for you to binge) and they've just started Season 4!

"John Dutton, patriarch of a Montana ranching family and owner of the largest ranch in the U.S., fights to defend his land and his family from the modern-day forces that threaten his way of life."

The story is interesting, the characters and acting is great, and the scenery is beautiful! R...

November Book Club!

Hi everyone!

For November I'm going to be reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman (you can buy it here from Amazon)

I'll be honest. I've started this one early. And I'm LOVING it so far. I always meant to read it before but never got around to it. Thanks so much to Aaron for sending this to the PO Box! It's really easy to read and I catch myself smiling along. It's also really neat to read s...

October Book REVIEW - Dark, but not bad!

This month I read The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh (you can buy it on Amazon here if you want!)

Like a lot of the books I read, I really had no idea what this was about. I never read the back cover of the book (if I can help it) and pick it based on someone else's recommendation.

I thought it was good! Not incre...

Okay I guess!

This month we watched Don't Breathe 2 and I have a lot of ranting and raving to do but I'll keep it short and spoiler-free.

If you're looking for a spooky thriller, Don't Breath is incredible. It's so surprising and I really enjoyed the film - go watch it!

Don't Breath 2 is such a weird storyline that turns our villain into a hero? Even after everything that happened in the previous film?? Why??? You could easily watch the second one without seeing the first, they...

Patreon Only - Battle of the Big Bois vs the Small Bois (aka homemade Scotch Eggs)

Happy Saturday, everyone!!

Today we're making my first-ever homemade scotch eggs! 

I decided to run a bit of an experiment with different sausage meat and types of egg-yolk - hope you enjoy the video!!

Do you have a favourite way to make scotch eggs? Let me know!

Great spooky show!

Like most of the world, I watched Squid Game on Netflix and thought it was great! It's obviously subtitled, and some of them did NOT adequately translate... but I thought it was a great show.

I didn't really understand why everyone was saying "it's the best thing ever" but as you get further into it, and the contestants are faced with worse moral dilemmas, it really hit me! The sets are great, the idea is interesting and I happily binged the whole show!

I also rea...

Spooky Month viewing!

This Spooky Month I watched Midnight Mass, the new Mike Flanagan show on Netflix! I loved Haunting of Hill House (and to a much lesser extent, Bly Manor) so I wanted to try this one, too.

I thought it was good!!

It's certainly a slow burn, and for the first new episodes, I really didn't know where we were going or what the big deal was... until BAM. Everything starts happening. I thought the acting was good, the set was creepy and it was a really interesting idea!...

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Since this one is a big boi (again) I've added Chapters on Youtube in case you want to jump around to different segments. Lots of life chats and Ted Talks!

Thanks for your support here - it means a lot!

Classic (sort of) spooky alert!

I FINALLY watched the original Saw for Spooky Month. I never watched them before because I hate super-gory movies, but I didn't realise that the first Saw is different. It actually reminded me a bit of Se7en - one of my favourite spooky crime-thrillers!

It's still pretty gross, and I wouldn't recommend my mom watching it... but I was actually really surprised by this one! Way better than I thought. And I actually never knew about any of the twists becau...

A little €£$ update!

Hi Patreon! Hope you guys are having a great weekend so far!

I just wanted to post a little update about pledges and different currencies. Originally, I could only accept Patreon pledges in USD (annoying). FINALLY Patreon released an update that Patreon pledges could be accepted in a few different currencies (USD, GPB and EURO being the big ones). 

I had posted about it before but it can be hard for new Patreon members to see old posts sometimes.

Hope you guys have a relaxing Saturday - any weekend plans??

Thanks again for all your support here on Patreon - it means more than I can express!

New spookem!

Recently we watched Caveat. I'm not sure how we found it or WHY we chose it but it seemed kind of creepy. And it was OK! A low-budget spookem that I wasn't totally sure where it was going. A bit weird, but sometimes you need that in a scary movie.

"An effective spine-tingler despite clear budget constraints, Caveat suggests a deliciously dark filmmaking future for writer-director Damian Mc Carthy."

I think we watched it on "2021-10-08 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Happy Spooky Month, y'all lol

What a movie. Oh my god.

We watched the new film Malignant and WOW. If you like cheesy B-horror films, please watch this. It's absolutely ridiculous and I was screaming at the screen - a LOT of fun and very silly. Some spooky parts, sure, but not that scary.

"Although Malignant isn't particularly scary, director James Wan's return to horror contains plenty of gory thrills -- and a memorably bonkers twist"

No spoilers, though! Don't read anything mor...

Love it or hate it!

Recently I watched The Green Knight and as you can see from the Rotten Tomatoes score, it's pretty divided!

I thought the film was beautiful and very strange. If you go into it knowing that it's a medieval tale trying to teach something, I think that helps understand what's going on.

"The Green Knight honors and deconstructs its source material in equal measure, producing an absorbing adventure that casts a fantastical spell"

"For better an...

Patreon Only - First time making Sticky Toffee Pudding!

Happy Saturday, everyone!!

This week I tried (for the first time) making my very own sticky toffee pudding! Disaster? Masterpiece? Watch to find out!

Do you have a favourite classic/vintage British food that I should try to make? Let me know!

Want to try out this pudding yourself? I used this recipe.

Hope you guys enjoy the video and have a great weekend!

New book alert - Oct Book Club!

Hey everyone! This month I'm reading The Weight of Blood (you can buy it here if you want to read along).

This one was recommended by my friend back in Ontario and she's usually a good judge of books! Warning though: this one apparently includes some pretty grim crimes so reader beware.

Since last month's book was very factual and a little difficult, I figured I'd go with an easy crim...

Sept Book Club Review: Good!

This month I read The Suspicions of Mr Whicher or The Murder At Road Hill House (you can buy it here if you want to read it, too!)

When I first started this, I thought: Oh honey, this is HARD! I was close to giving up, but instead decided to read it during the afternoon rather than right before bed when I was tired.

Overall it's a really cool book! I've not read one like this before - documenting a re...

UPCOMING VIDEO! BEST and WORST things about the UK

Hi everyone!

This week on my Twitch livestream, we discussed the BEST and the WORST things about the UK! I thought our Youtube community might find it interesting, so uploaded the livestream there as well! 

I've set it as a Premiere for Thursday 3pm just to give people a heads-up, since it's not my usual upload day/time. Thought I'd post it here too just incase you miss it!
