#TopTenTuesday: Things to Eat/Drink/Listen to While Reading/Blogging!

Dini @ dinipandareads52 Comments

It’s that time of the week again, friends! We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is: favorite things to eat/drink while reading (submitted by Jana’s mom). As you can tell by the title of my blog, I’ve changed the original prompt up a little bit by adding music and blogging! I don’t generally eat/drink a lot while reading or blogging, but I do put on some tunes, especially while blogging, so I thought I’d share some choons (also, I obviously like to make quick/easy posts more work for myself 🙄LOL)!

Venti Iced Caramel Macchiato
This is my go to coffee drink. I must consume it at least three times per week? It’s a hefty habit but it’s just too hard to resist. I LOVE iced caramel macchiatos. That’s defo one way to my heart! 😍

Ferrero Rocher
Ferrero has been my favorite chocolate ever since I was a kid. Once I start it’s so hard to stop eating!

This song is just so chill and so beautiful. I could have it on repeat in the background all day.

Peach Iced Tea
For some reason I always have peach tea bags stored away in my cupboard, so I frequently have a bottle of this sweet deliciousness sitting in my fridge. Perfect for those hot afternoons!

Thick cut chips
By chips here I mean fries. And not the shoe string kind. I’m a fan of the thick cut chips COZ MORE CARBS IN ONE BITE lol so good (but obviously eaten with one hand so the other is grease free!)

I shared this song on Sunday but I can listen to it forever. HER VOICE and the vibe. It’s SO CHILL.

English Breakfast Tea (with milk) + Custard Creams
I’m more of a coffee girl, but there’s just something so comforting about having a nice warm cuppa with CUSTARD CREAMS the best biccies! Everything about the combo screams cozy comfort!

I love this song and how it makes me feel. It’s like I need to go dancing down the street, and people will dance with me, offer me food and drinks, as we all sing and laugh… It’s a montage in my head LOL but also surprisingly great to have playing in the background while writing and reading 😂

Oreos (with milk obvi)
Another comforting snack that gives me throwback vibes to my middle school days when I would obsessively eat Oreos every chance I got. I don’t indulge in these all that often now but still good!

What do you like to eat/drink/listen to while reading/blogging?
If you’ve done a TTT for today, please leave your links in the comments so I can mosey over to your blog and check it out! 🙂

  3. I changed up this week’s topic completely because I just don’t snack when reading. But I like what you did with the topic! I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but I make an exception for those Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Sooo good! And chips/fries are practically their own food group. LOL I could eat them every day. And I’m with you… no shoestring fries! Bring on the thick cut ones! 🙂

    • Hahaha it’s the art of eating with one hand and if the other hand full of the sticky goodness makes its way anywhere near the book, I will smack it away! 😂😂😂 But really, I try to never eat/drink directly OVER a book! I’ve actually really impressed myself with all that I haven’t spilled/dropped on my books LOL

      Also yes, the cravings are alive and well rn.

  14. Nice list! I never used to listen to music while I read, but lately I’ve had a lot of fun listening while putting a film soundtrack on in the background. I read Circe while listening to the Troy soundtrack and it was really atmospheric. 😀

    • Ooh, that sounds really good! I can imagine how much more atmospheric that must’ve made Circe. Can imagine it’d make Song of Achilles even MORE atmospheric! I love listening to the LoTR soundtrack when reading too actually 😂

  15. CHIPS. YES. NONE OF THESE STICK FRENCH FRY THINGS!!! GIMME THICK CHUNKY CHIPS DROWNING IN VINEGAR, oh there’s the best chipper near where I live and it’s a testament to my strength of character that I’ve only been there about five times in all the years I’ve lived here because omg their chips are so good!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 but custard creams Dini?????????
    No.
    Just no…
    I can’t stand them. And it’s as if they are the default biscuit offering. Omg anytime I’ve been in hospital and they come around with the 8pm tea and biscuits my soul just dies a little more when they give me custard creams. WHY CAN THEY NOT HAVE GINGER NUT BISCUITS???? 😂😂😂 love this list!!!! Also that coffee drink *almost* makes me want to drink coffee…no doubt the smell would make me sick though. Not a coffee fan…wa hey it’s another of my unpopular opinions 😂😂😂😂

    • CUSTARD CREAMS ARE THE BEST EMER! I won’t back down on this hahaha I think I just have great associations to custard creams and whenever I eat them I just get all the comforting vibes. Hahahaha ginger nut bics are good too though! Oh what are we like 😂😂😂
      And also, YES. Chips with vinegar. ALL THE VINEGAR. It’s really sad that everywhere else in the world they’re missing out on the brilliance that is chips and vinegar. I really miss it! We had such a great chippie down the road from where I lived in Norwich and ugh, they knew me well 😂🙃 I don’t know how you resist!
      And girl, all your unpopular opinions keep coming for me LMAO 🤣🤣

    • Oh really? I haven’t seen many custard creams but I’ve seen a ton of hot chocolates 😂 I have to hunt down these other custard cream lovers! LOL I hope you can find them. Don’t know if they’d have anything similar in America but they’re so good (esp with tea)! 🤤

  20. I love a good Starbucks frap despite the fact they aren’t in the healthy food group. 😀 I’ve never really acquired a taste for hot tea, but I do drink iced tea and recently started to like iced great tea, too. 🙂

  21. Peach iced tea is the BEST kind of iced tea. Aaaand now I have an iced caramel macchiato craving, which I might actually indulge in tomorrow since it’s supposed to be really hot. Definitely bringing a book with me!

  25. Thank goodness I’m eating dinner while reading this, because wow, now I’m extra super hungry. xD I’ve seriously never had a Venti Iced Caramel Macchiato, and I’m pretty sure I’m missing out. D: Ferrero Rocher are for sure the best! Also, I miss Oreos. I’m not supposed to eat gluten, but I cheat now and then for Oreos, because they’re worth it. :3
