Scrumptious Salmon en Croute

Advantages: Delicious pastry and filling
Disadvantages: Expensive and only available at Tesco

...My boyfriend and I recently invited some friends round for dinner and as we were looking around our local Tesco's for something tasty to dish up, we came across Tesco's Finest Salmon en Croute. Packaging Tesco's Finest Salmon en Croute comes in a cardboard box which is decorated in the same sort of style as other Tesco's Finest products. The box is black and grey in colour with Tesco's Finest written across the front. Salmon en Croute is also written across the front and there is a large picture of the product when it is cooked splashed across the front also. There is also a product description on the packaging which states 'Prime salmon fillet. Butter enriched puff pastry. Spinach and lemon sauce.' Once you open the box, there are two Salmon en Croute's inside which sit on a plastic tray. Cost Each packet contains two...

Embassy Suites

Advantages: Good service, and amenities
Disadvantages: A long way from anything

...Embassy Suites On a recent visit to California, I was booked into this hotel because it was close to places I had to visit for work. The hotel itself is only a short drive from the airport (it took about half an hour in a hire car, and not knowing where I was going) and is located in La Jolla which is apparently quite an affluent area, featuring banks and houses and hotels as well as restaurants and a rather nice shopping mall. It's easy to drive into the hotel and should you ask for it there is valet parking in the high rise car park, but I just parked round the back of the hotel. Once inside the hotel, check in was quick and efficient and I was immediately impressed with the well set out entrance lobby featuring some nice little touches such as plentiful flowers. The reception desk is large and well staffed and also in...

The Other Side Of Nelly: Suit

Advantages: Great production
Disadvantages: Poor rhymes

..."Suit" is the second half of a double album by Nelly released in 2004. It has him work in his smoother form, with music which is more R&B-like, than suited to rap. This means that you have a choice with Nelly's music, whether you enjoy his grittier side, or his singing side, to then pick a CD to match your preference. 1. "Play It Off" To set the scene for this album, we get a massive collaboratiion by Nelly as he gets a chance to rp as Pharrell does the production and singing for him. Although their work rarely comes together, when it does, such as in "Flap Ya Wings" (off "Sweat"), it is always top-quality. The pair work together amazingly, and with the futuristic Neptunes beats, and Pharrell's great falsetto singing, it all came together nicely. **Four Stars** 2. "Pretty Toes" I was extremely impressed by this tune...

Se7en Deadly Sins

Advantages: Great film, with good acting and nice criminal masterplan
Disadvantages: Possibly scary/gruesome

...I?m surprised I seem to be the first person to review the film Se7en (Seven) here on Ciao, and also that it?s classed as a ?horror?. Sure, the film features some pretty horrific stuff, but personally I?d have called it more of a crime thriller, albeit an 18-rated one with disturbing themes? The film came out in 1995 and was directed by David Fincher. It?s rated #55 in IMDB?s top 250 films (at time of writing ? 8.3/10 viewer rating) and features a number of star names: Morgan Freeman ? Detective Lt William Somerset Brad Pitt ? Detective David Mills Kevin Spacey ? John Doe Gwyneth Paltrow ? Tracy Mills The plot essentially concerns a series of homicides carried out according to the ?seven deadly sins? (bet those who?ve written about them in the Ciao café are scared now!) The case is taken by Detectives Somerset and Mills...

Review of Se7en

Suit - like marmite, you love it or hate it!

Advantages: Some decent songs
Disadvantages: Some not so decent songs

...This album is quite old, being release back in 2004, at least it feels old, I do own albums older, but that is not the point. Anyway, if you are completely unaware of Nelly and his genre of music - then you sound like my dad! - then I will introduce him. Nelly is one of several hundred rappers, however he has been lucky finding success after releasing his album Country Grammar, since then he has released at least three other albums. Suit was released at the same time as another Nelly album, Sweat, this was an adventurous action releasing two albums at the same time and some people began to claim that Nelly was getting too cocky, but they were both successful. Suit claimed to be an album containing his smoother, sexier songs, while Sweat, as the name indicates, was to have his faster, more dancey songs. I chose Suit, if I had been richer...

Suite Dreams!

Advantages: Complimentary parking and breakfast, best price guarantee via web
Disadvantages: Drinks a little expensive.

...Finding myself with a mid morning flight departure of 10am from San Francisco Airport meant I had to find accommodation close to the airport for our final night. Like most people, I don't particularly relish spending a night in an Airport hotel, as it seems to be far more a functional expenditure than it adding anything to the holiday. However as there was no avoiding it, we booked the Embassy Suites, San Francisco Airport, South San Francisco and decided we would arrive reasonably late in the evening so we could enjoy the final day touring through the wine country. I booked online via the company's own website. Both my husband and I are familiar with the Embassy Suites brand, having both used them for business trips (separately) to the USA in the past. For those who do not know, however, Embassy Suites is part of the Hilton chain. I...

Fusion EN-CM525 Component Car Speakers

Advantages: Good value for money, Good sound quality, You get everything you need
Disadvantages: Tweeters can be slightly delicate (so use supplied cross-overs)

...What you get: 1 x pair of 13cm fusion woofer 2 x Grills 1 x pair of fusion tweeters 2 x cross-overs Speaker wire These are the set of speakers which you get with the fusion '4 corner package' (EN-4CNR). I have installed both the woofers and tweeters into the doors of my vauxhall corsa and the sound quality compared with the old factory standard ones is by far a big improvement. I am not using the provided cross-overs purely because they are rather large and secondly my car already has cross-overs in the door. Sound Quality: Originally I had some pioneer 13cm coaxiles which I was very disapointed with as they didn't even seem to be as good as my old standard speakers. When I purchased these I wasn't expecting too much from them to be honest. Like with the 6x9's which I also got in the package I have actually been rather...

Review of Fusion EN-CM5250

~~It Works and Suites for me~~

Advantages: An alternative software package for office documents and photo imaging
Disadvantages: It does not have the Power point presentation editing feature

...MAJORITY OF US WHO HAVE ACCESS TO computers and internet services gain the basic experience/exposure to various office software. Personally, I do not have a formal training in the application of available computer software in the market. In general and in most cases, we learned it through our employment or in school as part of our daily work. Purchasing a set of personal computer (PC) or a laptop/notebook, this office software like Microsoft Office (MS Office) or Works Suite is already installed in the unit. However, due to piracy law enforcement, the computer stores installed it in a ?trial use? basis or else you have to buy the software separately! If you are lucky, some dealers (like DELL) provide the back-up CDs for the operating system of the PC and the rest of the software for future computer breakdown/set-up. When I...

Review of Ms Works Suite 2004

Sundeck suites friendly staff and good location

Advantages: Central location and close to everything in the town
Disadvantages: an hour from the nearest beach

...From the moment you check in to leaving the staff are very friendly and informative of eveything you require, from shops to eating houses to supermarkets. They have numbers for everything from chinese and local indian food delivered to your door to taxis and local attractions. The rooms are very clean and maintained daily, with fridge and cooking facilities, tv and good storage for clothes and cases. Tv and airconditioning. Sundeck is ideal for local restaurants, and a pharmacy, supermarket and internet cafe 5 mins away. A must to visit is Trotters on Maraval road a 5 minute walk away, also the local roti and curry houses in maraval road. It is ideally suited for an early morning walk around the Savannah the biggest round about in the world where you will be joined by early joggers and walkers as well as people doing circuit...

Astarte suites in Santorini island

Advantages: Views, suite, infinity pool, privacy
Disadvantages: nothing

...Akrotiri village. Akrotiri village is located to one of the cornerstones of Santorini, which is about 15min. from Fira by car, and near to more of the island's beaches. Ok, I selected the area so now I had to decide among 30 hotels. The bad thing was that most of them were hardly 4 star hotels. Then when I believed that I had run out of luck, I received the F.T. newspaper. You are now all asking how did receiving a newspaper helped? The answer is simple. While I was reading the newspaper I saw an article regarding Santorini island. The journalist recommended a family running hotel near Akrotiri village! The name of that hotel was Astarte suites. So I google on Internet found the site and it was just perfect for my honeymoon. I booked the tickets and the Junior suite with private jacuzzi for a 7night stay. The view from the window...
