The Dinosaur Lifestyle
I have a confession to make. Life over this past year has been difficult. Scrap that – life over the past few years has been difficult. Mentally I’ve been struggling; yet, I’ve not talked about it. And, I should’ve talked about it. At the end of the day, the only way anything will get better […]
WE ARE WRONG! WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY WRONG! DINOSAURS ARE SIMPLY TOO BIG TO WALK! WE MUST DO AWAY WITH TERRESTRIAL TYRANNY AND EXCEPT THAT DINOSAURS WADED NOT WALKED. IT MAKES MORE SENSE. DINOSAURS WERE AQUATIC. EVERYTHING ELSE IS FAKE NEWS. CHARLES DARWIN – WRONG. RICHARD OWEN – WRONG. ROBERT BAKKER – WRONG. PAUL SERENO […]
First off, I want to apologise for not posting on this blog anywhere near enough. It’s so easy to get caught up in life that I forget to keep up to date with everything. Running The Cookieraptor is my passion but life has been getting in the way recently. I can’t explain how frustrating it […]
Pancake day is literally my favourite day of the year. I mean, it’s just an excuse to eat a load of pancakes – what’s there not to love? Pancakes for breakfast, pancakes for lunch and pancakes for tea! I mean, that includes savoury pancakes too. I love to make socca which is chickpea flour pancakes. […]
So, I’m a bit late to the mark with this post seeing as winter is almost over! So, this is kind of ‘February’ dinospiration instead… Winter is always a busy time for me. Firstly, there’s Christmas. I am a huge fan of Christmas (even though I’m not religious). I love the lights, the food, the drink, […]
It was the 31st January and most of the UK had been turned into a winter wonderland. Not by snow, unfortunately, but by frost, ice and fog which covered every inch of the landscape. This included the East Midlands which is at the centre of this blog post. I’m from Nottingham; I was born here, […]
As we all know, I’m all about all things dinosaur. So, a bunch of animatronic dinosaurs coming to my city in the park that holds Batman’s house (Wollaton Hall is the house used in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises) is enough to get me buzzing. I’ve been waiting over a year for […]
There are some days I’m honestly terrified about being an adult. I’m 21, almost 22, and the idea of responsibility makes me want to run for the hills. At the same time, I also crave it. I want my own house, a career, a future and a fulfilled life. But hell, the idea of putting […]
Ahhh Autumn. Or Fall as Americans call it. And I’ve got to say, I much prefer Fall as a name for this season. It’s more literal but there’s something more romantic about saying Fall rather than Autumn. It’s quickly becoming my favourite season. I’m not a huge fan of heat so summer has never been […]
I think it’s important that my first recipe on this blog is a Cookieraptor. I’ve been experimenting with getting the perfect Cookieraptor since the beginning of this journey. In fact, my fifth Instagram post (see below) was one of the first raptor experiments. It was a red velvet cookie with strawberry icing and it was […]
