Getting a new kitchen - a hard decision
I’m considering getting a new kitchen installed since I use it all the time and get a lot of pleasure from it - surely that is a reason to spend a few grand on it? Well I’ve been looking at a few kitchen ranges and think I’m going to go for a look that […]

So here we have a current Burger King advertisement which mocks the burger size of McDonalds premium burger, the Big Mac. The ad sees […]
Have you had luck growing tomatoes this year?
My mother is a grow-your-own-veg enthusiast and has recently had a spot of luck this year in growing a massive harvest of nice tomatoes. Normally this is not such a big story, but last year all her tomatoes turned black with ‘the blight’.
Has anyone else had luck with growing tomatoes this year?
I’m going to try […]
Will we get to have a BBQ this summer?
Every summer I love to have nice, big, socialable BBQs which involve a lot of food, drinking, and messing around with mates. However this summer, the awful weather has meant there has simply not been the chance to have one so far. I am hoping we are going to be able to have one at […]
Getting in the cleaners
Recently I’ve been very busy at work and have not had much free time to relax at home, let alone do any cleaning up, so my place is looking pretty messy at the moment. This of course has led me to cut down on the amount of cooking I’ve been doing, so I’ve […]
Great festival foods

Taking inspiration of the Meat-in-a-bun ‘Hot Dog’ that has graced many sports events and fairs for decades now, the ‘Cool Dog’ […]
Deep-fried Cookie dough!
So you’ve eaten the Donut Burger, washed it down with a Deep Fried Coke, so surely now you’re after something for desert right? Well fear not! Get your chops round some deep-fried cookie dough!
Cookie dough of your choice (chop chip, nut, caramel etc) is first chilled, hacked onto a stick, coated in batter, and then […]
Deep-Fried Coke
In theme with yesterday’s post, the Krispy Kreme Burger, I thought I’d share some other heart crushing junk foods with you. Yes you did read the title correctly, this is a soft-drink deep fried…
Well, it’s not strictly the regualr coke liquid thrown into hot fat, as that would just be sheer madness… And of […]
The Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheese Burger
Everyone loves a good burger, as well as knowing that in general they are not that good for us. So why take the artery-clogging a step further by removing the fairly healthy bread bun, and replacing it with a glazed doughnut!
Yes the Krispy Kreme Bacon Donut Cheeseburger is available in, yes you guessed it, the […]
If its too hot in the kitchen, get air conditioning!
Something that puts people off cooking at home in the summer is the heat generated by the stove or oven in the cooking process. This is something that I have found recently and have resorted to making a lot of salads and cold soups that do not require me to switch the oven on or […]

Measuring 6×7 feet, the toast mattress will keep you toasty warm while you sleep while only costing $170! This is a much more fun alternative to an electric blanket and will look great in a kids room.
Has anyone bought one fo these yet?
What lamb donner meat looks like when raw
Yes this is what your beloved lamb donner meat looks like when raw, frozen, and stored. A lot of people in Britain love the fatty, processed meat, and I’m sure a lot of people would be a little slimmer if it wasn’t for lamb donner meat. I’ve got nothing against lamb donner meat, but […]
