Sunday mid-day brings complete combo listings to make your weekend happy
The Central Kitchen
Unsettling thriller
ADVERTISEMENT
Set in a small town in America, Stephen King's latest The Outsider starts as a crime mystery you really want to solve. If the local coach Terry Maitland didn't kill 12-year-old Frank, as evidence suggests, who did? Somewhere, as you keep turning the pages, the story takes a turns for the supernatural. Even if you're not a fan, not turning the page seems a difficult task.
A cracker of a seed
It's while hunting for healthy snacks, that we chanced upon "100 per real seeded" crackers by All Heart. We sampled the super seeded and the chocolate seeded flavours. While the former will require a dip to make it appetising, the latter was just what we were looking for. Loaded with sunflower seeds, sesame, flax seeds and oats, it makes for a perfect mid-meal snack.
Comic thought
Dedicate your day to Hannah Gadsby, if you haven't watched her stand-up special on Netflix, Nanette. In this show, Gadsby talks about why she is getting out of stand-up comedy, gender, art history and why stories are more important than punchlines. What's more, Gadsby's quality of humour is of a whole new level, one that we wish we could have more of.
