Spreads

I'm not a big bread eater but if I do make a sandwich I do find I need to spread something on the bread otherwis I find it too dry, that is unless the sandwich mi contains something that makes it moist such as mayonnaise. My spread of choice is Tesco Enriched Olive Spread which can be found on the shelves alongside the other margarines and butters. This is a reduced fat spread made with a blend of vegetable oils and olive oil and is a good source of vitamen B6 and Folic Acid. It has a pale yellow colour and is soft so it spreads really easy straight from the fridge. It is high in mono - unsaturates and low in saturates and has a melow buttery smell. ...  Read the complete review

I'm moving next week. We're living in limbo, half-packed. We're going to live in a small village. For privacy's sake, let's call it The Back Of Beyond. The Back Of Beyond doesn't have a broadband or cable service yet - argh - and neither does it have a gas supply. And so I've just waved goodbye to my gas oven as it is now not only old, but surplus to requirements. It went into the skip with the rest of the household detritus. If it can't be slowcooked, microwaved, or eaten cold, then, for the next ten days, we Murphys ain't eating it. I'm a bit depressed. I do so hate microwaved food. Ooh though, I still have my ...  Read the complete review

I was shopping in Superdrug last week and spied Princes Salmon Paste for 39p for a 75g jar. I didn't realise they still made this so was really pleased so popped a couple of jars in my basket thinking they'd come in useful sometime..... Ha! - as soon as I unpacked everything I thought I'd try some for lunch - where did the rest of the jar go to?! I love fish, especially salmon, but can't be bothered to open a can, drain off the juice, add vinegar and black pepper just for a sandwich which only me in the family likes. So it was pure convenience, or laziness, that made me buy this paste. No way can it be called a ...  Read the complete review

~~My feelings~~ The first time I really saw Pro-activ was when I was visiting the house of a friend (who is a nurse) with several other ladies. We had been having a very nice get-together and she brought out some munchies (along with a very nice cuppa, I must add.) She brought out several kinds of crackers, some cheese, some biscuits and some cakes and pies. She also brought out the pro-activ spread. I wasn't quite sure about it so I asked if it tasted good and how did it affect the health. Well, with her being a nurse she started talking about our health, how we should be taking care of it, what direction most people's health is headed and ...  Read the complete review

My first time was on one of my Maltese holidays about 10 years ago. My friend Christine and I stayed in St Georges Apartments in St Julians Bay, where the nightlife was about the busiest on the island. We always managed to extend our nights out until at least 6.00 am, even if that meant we were playing cards or dares in the streets with the locals. This particular morning we went down to the rocky beach by the casino and for some mad reason I was drunkenly paddling in a rock pool. Of course I slipped and sat down with a painful thump, ending up with a bruised rump and a necklace of mosquito bites. We walked up the hill to our apartment, Christine laughing and me ...  Read the complete review
