It's no yolk - Eggs = eggsellent value

Advantages: Cheap, fast, nutritious food
Disadvantages: None!!

... I INTRODUCE THE HUMBLE EGG I think that eggs are taken for granted too much. Let's face it they are the ultimate fast food!! All contained in it's perfect natural and biodegradable package are protein, vitamins and minerals - fairly low in saturated fat - they can make a meal in seconds and can be used in so many different ways. The humble egg is one of the most nutritious foods you can buy and at around 80 calories per egg they are great if you're on a diet or trying to eat a healthy diet. The poor old egg took a bit of a bashing in the 1980's with the Salmonella scare and there are still many people worry about using eggs, especially raw but they are really safe now. I am lucky enough to live near to a farm where I can go and buy my free range eggs virtually direct from the chicken - their rich yellow, almost orange...

Review of Eggs

Which came first, the chicken or the egg ?

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Eggs are amazing - who would have thought that something that comes out of a chickens bum would be so tasty and so versatile in the kitchen ? In fact, I often wonder who the first person was to actually EAT an egg, and why they did it. In Britain, we eat nearly 10 billion eggs a year; that's 26 million every day, so they're clearly a favourite food here! Chicken eggs are the most commonly eaten eggs in the uk , although there are many more edible eggs - duck, goose, quail and ostrich to name a few. Generally speaking though, most of us stick to the chicken eggs found in the supermarket - and generally fall into three categories - Battery or Caged eggs, Barn Eggs, or Free Range eggs . I'll briefly explain the categories for those who may now know them . Battery/Caged ------------------- Battery/Caged eggs are produced by chickens kept...

Grobag Egg - Keeping a close eye on the temperature.

Advantages: Great device, funky lights, looks good in a nursery.
Disadvantages: None.

...The Grobag Egg is a night light that is designed to keep a close monitor on the temperature in your child's bedroom or nursery and it is easy to see because it lights up and this also means that you can peer in to your children's room without having to disturb their sleep or alert them to your presence. The device is egg shaped with a permanent back lit LCD readout and the actual temperature is display so you can be aware of whether the temperature is just a little too high or too cold and adjust things accordingly to ensure that your baby is kept warm at all times. The ideal temperature is 16-20 degrees and the temperature colour gauges are listed below: Cold - Blue - Under 16 degrees Ideal - Yellow - 16-20 degrees Warm - Orange - 20-24 degrees Hot - Red - Over 24 degrees I think that this is a fantastic safety feature...

Review of Grobag Egg

Egg on your face

Advantages: Easy to cook and occasionally tasty
Disadvantages: Death, doom, gloom and smelly farts

...If you had asked me fifteen years ago if I ever thought I'd be sitting at a computer writing a review of eggs at any point in my life, I'd have probably jumped on your head, gotten chocolate smeared down your best dress and started crying when you told me off. Well, I was 6. Got to wonder what all you blokes were doing in that dress though eh? Each to their own I suppose! If you've never had an egg before then I firstly have to welcome you to the planet and implore you to try the Sambuca. Then I need to explain a little about where they come from (unless you are all oologists). Eggs are laid (aka generally plonked out of the down below area) by fish, birds, reptiles and very old TV presenters such as Anne Robinson.* You really don't want to know what goes into the making of a Fabergé egg. You may also be interested to find out...

Review of Eggs

To Egg or not to Egg?

Advantages: Good customer service, Discount Rewards
Disadvantages: Discounts change and other cards have better rewards

...INTRO I first decided to get an Egg Credit Card to take advantage of a 0% Interest Balance Transfer (BT) about 2-3 years ago. This was so that I could buy a £1,000 laptop (Samsung Q35). The interest free period was only 6 months but that's all I needed to pay off the balance. I think the BT fee was about 2.5% back then. It's a bit higher now, circa 3% in line with other credit card providers. They also have a 0% on purchases offer on the same card, at the same time alongside the balance transfer offer but this is usually shorter than the balance transfer so if you use both and you don't clear the balance before the end of the 0% interest on purchases period, you end up paying interest on the purchases spending unless you clear the entire balance as this is a sneaky tactic that most BT cards use. ACCOUNT OPENING Opening...

Review of Egg Card

Egg go top for customer service

Advantages: customer service is great, upto date balances are available 24 hours a day, easy access
Disadvantages: none

...I have been a customer with Egg now for nearly a year and the service I have received from Egg has been worldclass from day 1. Egg is an internet bank where all your accounts are view and managed by you over the net. Egg is like any other bank and offers all types of accounts from credit cards, to loans and savings. The account opening is easy and you can apply online through their website at www.egg.com. You just select the account you want and apply for that account. Egg offer 24 hour banking and long hours of customer service. The waiting time is short and all operators are very helpful and friendly. The only thing I can complain about was an operator yesturday told me I was over my agreed limit on my card and said my balance was minus. When I checked my account on the website this means I am in credit on my credit...

Mini Eggs :)

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Caburys Mini Eggs are one of my favourite easter treats and luckily this year they have hit the shops extra early. These sweets are produced by Cadburys so have lovely Cadburys chocolate in them. They are egg shaped milk chocolate pieces in a crisp sugar shell and come on different colours including pink, white, yellow, purple and brown. Each sweet has a speckled brown effect to make them look even more egg like. Mini Eggs may contain traces of nuts, eggs or soya for those of you that have heath conditions or allergies. The nutritional information is as follows: Per 100g- Calories 455 Protein 4.6g Carbohydrate 64.7g (of which sugars) 63.1g Fat 20g There are 100g in an average bag of Mini Eggs. As you can see there is a large amount of sugar, calories and fat in a bag of Mini Eggs, so you may only want them...

Review of Cadbury Mini Eggs

mini eggs

Advantages: tasty
Disadvantages: can't stop at one

...Cadbury's chocolate is just the best! The mini eggs are just soooo moreish it's baaad!! I buy these in the 100g bags - the bag is yellow with mini eggs written across the middle in purple, the cadbury logo is in the top left and they have pictures of the eggs on the packet. The bag of eggs cost 99p. The eggs are solid chocolate covered in a crispy shell, as soon as you open the bag you can smell the cocoa - you just want to dive right in the bag and start scoffing! The shells are different colours and I always want to suck the shell off so I can savour the chocolate, it never happens though I just have to bite it to get to the chocolate. If you were to eat just one egg then you would only get 15 calories which is nothing but can you just eat one? I can't! Also in the one egg you would get - 0.1g of protein 2g...

Review of Cadbury Mini Eggs

Summer ready feet with Ped Egg

Advantages: It works, lasts for a long time
Disadvantages: None

...I have just discovered an amazing beauty product that I can now no longer live without. If, like me, you suffer from rough bits of skin on your feet then the Ped Egg is definitely for you. I have used regular foot files before but nothing really seems to get rid of the skin forever but this product is different. The Ped Egg is manufactured by JML and can also been found for sale on the television like all of the JML product ranges. The Ped Egg is described by the manufacturer as "a revolutionary foot file that is precision engineered with over 135 stainless steel micro fibres. It gently removes calluses and dead skin to give your feet the incredible baby soft look and feel everybody loves." The stainless steel micro fibres to me basically look like a cheese grater. When you rub the file over your feet it does not hurt though or is...

Review of JML Ped Egg

Meg's Eggs

Advantages: Bright illustrations and humour for children.
Disadvantages: None for children... too many speech bubbles for me!

...Despite first being published in the 1970s Meg and Mog are still very popular in Early Years settings today. They were first introduced in the book Meg and Mog and since then a number of books have been published about the duo. ♠♠♠ Who are Meg and Mog? ♠♠♠ Meg is a witch, with a typical witchy hooky nose, all dressed in black. She rides on a broom and has a cauldron but her spells always seem to go a little bit wrong! Mog is Meg's stripy black and white cat. She is very skinny and spiky looking with black eyes and bright yellow 'whites' of her eyes!! ♠♠♠ Meg's Eggs ♠♠♠ The book begins with Mog and Owl waiting at the table for some eggs for supper. Meg gets out her cauldron and puts in some lizards, newts and frogs to whip up 3 eggs for their supper...
