...of the whiskey 1 tsp brown sugar 8 oz hot coffee heavy cream Method: Combine whiskey, sugar and coffee in a glass mug (i.e. latte glass) A typical mug would suffice and stir. (PICTURE 2) Then float cold cream gently on top… Serve IMPORTANT -… 1. Do not mix as this can infuse the cream and coffee too much and ruin the taste. 2. The sugar is essential as this makes the cream float on top. Pros, Cons and Taste It's a deep full flavour, has a very warming taste perfect for a winters evening. Its strong taste of whiskey may put some people off. ************************************* SECTION 2 - Our Cocktails ************************************* Cocktail 3 - The Mowbray Snowball ************ Ingredients: 3 oz Bailey's Irish cream 3 oz Dr. Pepper 4 oz milk Method: Mix all the ingredients in a cocktail mixer (a separate glass will do...

Disadvantages: Too yummy to stop eating!

...As you get to know me better you will realise that there are many important things in my life, two of which are cooking and sailing, small wonder then that I am the Quarter Master and thus do al the cooking for the boat I sail on at weekends. In "Master and Commander" after a dinner, well lubricated with alcohol, Captain Jack points to the two weevils on his plate, one fat and juicy, the other decidedly under nourished, and asks his friend, Dr Maturin which he prefers. The Dr gravely considers that matter and says the larger one; Captain Jack laughs uproariously and says he should have chosen the smaller one as, "it is the lesser to two weevils!" Now this anecdote has nothing really to do with anything, except to make you smile, and it really is a rather lame joke anyway, but I was talking about ships and biscuits and it sprung...

Advantages: A Wonderful Sequel, Even if it has a Different Tone and Story, Very Underrated
Disadvantages: Wizard of Oz purists have objected, and will continue most likely

...Man, and Cowardly Lion, et al. We soon learn that she has had trouble sleeping; Aunt Em and Uncle Frank are becoming quite concerned about her sleeplessness, as well as her talking about her experiances in the land of Oz, which were supposedly all a dream. So, her aunt and uncle decide to consult the help of a Dr. J.B. Worley, to "destroy" all these dreams she has been having of these experiances of Oz. That is basically the setup for the plot, though I must mention some important changes from the original film. A few things we learn in the opening sequences is the time (the year 1899), while the original was assumed to be set in the late 1930s; however, according to the L. Frank Baum's books, the setting is actually the dawn of the 20th century. Also, some characters have been dropped entirely, mostly three farmhands (my three... Read review

Disadvantages: You may have seen this one before

...the weekly shop and whatever else she had to do that required the absence of the kids. This treat usually involved a trip to the local cinema for me, my older brother and my older sister; I don’t think my younger brother was around when we went to see this one. I could only have been three and a half at the oldest when we first saw ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and I distinctly remember the gasp that emanated from adults and children alike as Dorothy left the monochrome house from Kansas and entered the Technicolor realm of Oz. Confession time again; when the Tin Man came to life I wet myself with fear, hence the title. This lead to a lifelong hatred of the Cybermen in Dr Who. Every time I watch this movie these days it is with bittersweet memories as my Dad and older sister, Shelley are no longer with us, but the joy from the happy... Read review

...Frank Oz (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Stepford Wives, Little Shop of Horrors) directed a masterpiece comedy which never got the recognition that I believe it deserved. If you have not seen What About Bob (released in the theaters in 1991, now available on DVD), do yourself a favor and rent or buy this movie. It will give you a good laugh. The Story: Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss), a renowned psychiatrist, has written a best selling book named Baby Steps. Dr. Marvin is a work-a-holic, between writing the book and treating his patients, he has taken little time to relax and enjoy life. When the producers of the show Good Morning America schedule an interview with Dr. Marvin about his book, he coincides the interview with a well-earned vacation at his second (vacation) home in New Hampshire. Dr. Marvin has his secretary... Read review

Advantages: There my 10 favourite
Disadvantages: Not every one likes the same things

...because it never fails to keep you intrested and it always has a twost which you never expect but the twist makes sence Number 6 is ER because i have watched this from when i was 8 and i just find it intresting and it shows how hospitals can get really busy Number 7 is Bad girls because it has a mixture of drama and comedy moments.Every character has 2 sides to them and the acting is quite good to portray vunerable people in prisons Number 8 has to be the prison drama OZ because this is about a american prison and the way they have to live and the fact that the death penalty is still being used helps you understand the problems that people who are in prisons like OZ have to face. Number 9 has to House because this is a weird medical drama about a Dr who uses ways that are not meant to be used to diagnose problems that piople have... Read review

...Italian Liquer'' they boast. And they would be correct as the sales figures show. As well as being a distinctive bottle the drink itself is very distinctive. An almondy drink which gives off hints of Dr Pepper aswell. There are also hints of Apricot and other fruits which blend well to give this drink a very nice flavour. The abv is 28% alcohol and the standard bottle is 500ml. The drink also includes 17 different herbs. You can use this in cooking, mostly used in desserts like ice cream and it is said to complement chocolate desserts aswell.
