Thanks Jen, I'm with you on the Graze Almonds, the raspberry dusted ones are so delish, I'm going to try the Peckish Crackers. One of my guilty pleasures has been Salt and Vinegar chips, margarine and marmite sandwiches on soft white tip top bread, and finished off with a juicy orange, just to be a bit healthier ,from my garden for my lunches. I hope the spring weather helps a little and brings a bit of joy into your life.

[@AThousandWords]

That sounds amazing, yum!!

You buying the chipotle sauce for the bottle made me chuckle, I did the exact same thing with Lidl infused oils recently, they are in gorgeous skinny curvy botties and taste good too, bonus!! I love "your home made perfect" too, we've watched all the episodes, the male designer is so funny the way he tries to put banquette seating in every design

[@AThousandWords]

Oh my word, we are like enough with the benches!! ha ha

[@beeutiffle]

That show Your home made perfect was on NZ TV right thru lockdown on Thursdays. We absolutely loved it. I tried the Culleys enchilada sauce in a squeeze pouch and it was so good! I bought a Koran BBQ by Culleys to try next.

[@AThousandWords]

I'm bummed I missed it, and they no longer have episodes online. Was the enchilada sauce very spicy?

[@beeutiffle]

@@AThousandWords no it's not at all. Just really tasty! My partner is not a sauce person normally but we had it on everything that week! I can't find it again at the supermarket and will get some more online. It seems to be stocked intermittently. I emailed them and they said yeah it's up the distribution centres as to what goes where at this stage

[@timeheals8]

I couldn't find the sauce on the shelf. Will try another store. I have found the rice crackers, the basil one but not the onion one. Overall I have been having way to much hummus and crackers lately.

[@AThousandWords]

Enjoy!

Sorry to hear about your tough time Jen 🌸 I’ve been using Dose and Co too and all through my pregnancy and I’ve LOVED it! Hair and nails are awesome. And those peckish are my favourite too😍😍😍

[@AThousandWords]

I only wish it cost less!

[@aidabd1347]

I was just having Culley's Chipotle no. 4 with my lunch as you were talking! Their stuff is so amazingly delicious!

[@AThousandWords]

So good!

[@jeanninemuller4654]

Culleys n4 is great, I still have a bottle from our last trip to NZ. Have you tired Kaitaia Fire? Hopefully we can be back in NZ for 2021! Keep safe and positive. Big hug from Spain

[@AThousandWords]

Haven't tried it, sounds very spicy! How hot is it?

[@miriamhancock7790]

I’ve been wanting to try a collagen powder, and Dose & Co is on my list to try, great that you like it.

[@AThousandWords]

It's so good! Just wish it cost less.

[@AThousandWords]

Come round for a coffee and see how you like it.

[@WinterWind]

That show sounds like something they play ads for on TV 1. With the VR headset. See if its on TVNZ on demand perhaps?

[@AThousandWords]

It used to be, but no current episodes available, unfortunately. Hopefully it will come back.

[@mickymed79]

I completely relate to the rough month and the comfort eating, I'm too now trying hard to get back on eating health and stop with the excess sugar :) One book I recommend you is Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes AMAZING!! and written in such a beautiful way..

[@AThousandWords]

Sorry you're having a hard time, I hope things get better for you soon. Thanks for the book recommendation!

[@mickymed79]

@@AThousandWords Thanks! it's alright this is life, right? :) Never a straight line up.. Please read the book, I'm sure you'd like it... 😊 I would love to hear your opinion.

[@marthieerasmus4165]

I found that tissue salt helps a lot with brittle nails.

[@AThousandWords]

Which one do you find most helpful? I've tried a couple of Active Elements and found no difference.

[@marthieerasmus4165]

@@AThousandWords Here in SA we get 2 suppliers : Homeoforce and Natura. Both have a no. 7(Kali sulph) and no. 12(Silica). I mostly use no 7 and occasionally no 12.

[@AThousandWords]

@@marthieerasmus4165 Thank you!

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 I need to socially distance myself from the kitchen after all this time (LOL)

[@AThousandWords]

I understand lol

[@jaytycruz]

Omg...those rice crackers look so delicious! Even your flavours of sweet potato chips you guys have there are so good. All we get here in the US are salted sweet potato chips and sweet flavored rice crackers 😢 Glad you’re enjoying your tap 😂😂 People in America don’t know what a tap is, I have to say faucet 🤔🤔🤔 ooooh, I started I am a killer, don’t think I finished it. I remember someone actually killed someone to get on death row so he could get better food or something...horrible!

[@AThousandWords]

That is so sad :( The killer I mean (although the dearth of good sweet potato chips and rice crackers too ha ha)

[@amieshadbolt1668]

Have you taken a look at Chelsea winters supergood book yet?

[@AThousandWords]

No, will definitely check it out, thanks for the tip.

[@ElizabethM824]

I love the youtube channel Garden Answer, but I actually prefer smaller youtube channels like The Impatient Gardener and Y Garden! And as for comfort food lol I have been enjoying the youtube channel Chef Billy Parisi. Simply recipes that are always so flavorful. I also like the way he explains cooking. I need cooking inspiration these days after all these months stuck at home during the pandemic here in the US.

[@AThousandWords]

I'll definitely check out Y Garden and Chef Billy Parisi, thanks for the recommendations.

[@Butterflylovely5]

Do you have EDS?

[@AThousandWords]

Possibly - have had a very preliminary diagnosis but no further investigation or genetic testing, which I'd prefer to defer as we are planning on getting health insurance so I don't want it listed as a pre existing condition.
