Due to our decreasing hours (Josh always fazes staff out over their last 2 weeks) me and Alice actually both had a night off today. We went downstairs to make dinner at the same time, and found some creamed corn and cous cous on the shelves, and decided to collaborate. Alice contributed a courgette, onion, 3 bean mix, and falafel mix, but I was only able to provide a pepper. Alice enjoyed making a concoction of the 3 bean mix and creamed corn with various spices ...

Then we went to C...

I had been looking forward to getting cheap Tuesday $1 vanilla malt milk so that I could try it on the breakfast cereal I have at the moment, and Alice had told me that you could also get $2 magnums. I was happy that you could get the strawberry and white crumble flavour in this deal but then so sad to find out that this was maybe the last week that they were doing this deal (I'm not sure whether the night owl workers were talking about the milk or the magnums or...
