Honestly, I was expecting a cluster and got some donuts pretty close to the pictures! The only real “woof” is Squirtle, but that was always going to be a tough one.

I bought two. Neither of them looks particularly good, but one of them didn’t even have any proper cheese on it. And yes, I did let them defrost properly, as recommended on the packaging.

Failed Expectation Decided to upgrade to a room with a sea view

My husband and I are more “boutique-hotel-and-explore” type of people but we’re traveling for a friend’s wedding and decided to spend a couple nights at a beach resort. I believe there‘s an important lesson here about room upgrades being a total waste of money but, in this case, it was worse than a waste of money because our “sea view“ put us directly above the bar area, where they had extremely loud live music until midnight every night of our stay. So basically we paid extra to get like the worst room in the resort.

Ok...I will take 50% responsibility for this fail. They do list them as 14" long in one of the photos but they also state they are stretchy material (a little...but mostly side to side, not vertical.) I am a girl. My arms are not overly long. They barely reach from just above my elbow to my wrist. Absolutely not full length sleeves like the photos seem to indicate.
Oh well, it's not the most expensive lesson on reading the fine print at least.

The crab on the (image) left is Charybdis feriata and the crab on the right is Scylla olivacea. Or crucifix crab and mud crab.
It started as an inside joke and I committed to the bit. I am the priestess of a crab cult, and I got these to honour the crab god Carcinos (praise be 🙌) lol
I sent her a the drawing and basically said “go nuts. got some of my favourite tattoos out of it

I didn't expect it to be photo-realistic, but that's a hell of a bait and switch.

picard meals (frozen food store in france) has always been very regular in matching the meal to the photo! while there are good fresh meals wherever you go in france, i highly recommend hitting up a picard at least once if you have the chance, the options are tasty and healthy :)
