bloody love a good recommendation. I pretty much outsource all my decisions these days. I don’t have the time to waste on figuring out if something is good or not – I just wait for the internet to fall in love with it and then I follow suit. This is why I love doing recommendation posts – I get to tell you about all the good stuff I’ve discovered and you get to tell me about all about the awesome stuff you’ve discovered. You know the drill though. If you love these posts you have to participate in them! Naughty.
Making A Murderer
Mr Smaggle and I have been away since before Christmas and when we got back we jumped straight into a weekend long binge of Making a Murderer. It’s a Netflix series that’s really similar to the podcast Serial. It’s about a guy who gets imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit and then gets released after 18 years. I won’t say anything else about it but watch it. It’s fascinating, heart breaking and just plain bizarre. It was so good we watched all 12 hours of it in under 24 hours. It hurt but it was totally worth it.
Supermarket salads
I’ve been trying to increase my vegetable intake this year by having 5 cups of vegetables every single day, which means I’m often left paying $18 for a takeaway salad for lunch which is just ridiculous. If I’m on the run and need a healthy, veggie packed salad, I’ve been buying a pre-made spinach salad from Coles for $5 and adding a handful of shredded deli chicken for about $3. The pre-made Coles salad (it’s called a super food salad) comes with dressing and a fork and the whole she-bang costs me about $8. Giant time saving bargain. Highly recommended especially if you work near a supermarket.
Aperol and prosecco
I didn’t even know you were allowed to do this but I went to my mate’s place on the weekend and she made me an Aperol with Prosecco. It was summer perfection. I’m a red wine drinker and I tolerate white wine in summer but it’s not my favourite. This is the perfect solution. It’s tart and refreshing without the sweetness of white wine. Highly recommended.
What about you? Anything awesome you’ve discovered recently?
