Frozen Jacket Potatoes? *shudder*
Frozen microwaveable jacket potatoes, McCain? Seriously? Well, I promised I would try them out, so I did… but there was no way I was going to like them –a jacket potato for me is food from the gods. In fact, my last meal on earth would probably be a crisp, fluffy, slow-baked jacket, oozing butter and sprinkled with some strong cheddar. *pauses to salivate* I have been known to nuke a potato for lunch – but it’s just not the same, is...
BEST Fridge Freezer for a Large Family. NO question.
Post-Christmas Holiday, having four children home and extended family to stay and all that Chrsitmas FOOD to store, seriously the biggest challenge any kitchen faces in the year… I just wanted to say that I LOVE the Monster in my kitchen more than ever. I never ever ever want to go back to an ordinary-sized fridge freezer, ever ever again. If anyone is looking for the best fridge for a large family – you really can’t...
The one where Keris tries the Skoda Roomster
(And no, don’t you dare click away in boredom at a CAR review – this was written by Keris so you just KNOW it’ll be worth a quick squizz through…) After falling so much in love with the Skoda Yeti, we were all very excited about the prospect of the Skoda Roomster. As wonderful as the Yeti is, we thought it was maybe a bit too big for us and that the Roomster would be more fitting. We looked at it online and...
I *heart* The Monster In My Kitchen… (Thank You Samsung)
I. Love. This. Fridge. It’s officially called the Samsung G-Series RFG23DERS American Fridge Freezer. But round these parts, it’s just known as The Monster. It’s huge – and it’s beautiful. When Samsung asked if I’d like one in my kitchen, I laughed a bit. Clearly they weren’t actually serious. Turns out, they were. This thing is HUGE. Seriously. It’s called the Monster for a reason....
The Bestest Christmas Gift guide – The Lego Minifigure Display Case. Oh yes.
For me, these are a le-e-e-tle bit pointless. I mean, the whole point of a Lego figure is to play with it, yes? Hmmm. Apparently no. Apparently, that comment is worthy of a most disdainful (and pitying) look, combined with a ve-e—ry pa-ti-en-t explanation for the dear and aged Mama who doesn’t Get It. Apparently the ONE thing that drives any Lego-er insane is never ever being able to find the right figure. And never being able to...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Yellow Genius of The Sort & Store Lego Head.
These Lego storage heads are just a brilliant idea – even by Lego standards. What’s the age old issue with Lego? That one complaint that we all have about this modern toy-majig? The tidying up. I’ve seen parents restrict the child to keeping the Lego in one tray to ease the tidying… but where’s the creative fun in that? The alternative, of course, is not only risking serious Lego Foot injury by allowing Access All (floor)Areas,...
