A Super Food.

Advantages: Quick and Easy
Disadvantages: Some are nice others are bland.

...Batchelors Super Noodles The less you eat whilst working nights the better. So as a long time shift worker these are just perfect. Until a few weeks ago you could pick up 3 packets for a £1 at Tescos but now they have hiked up the price to 3 for £1.20. A 20% increase! They come in several flavours; Barbecue Beef (Very Tasty), Mild Curry (V.T), Chicken (V.T), Thai Curry (V.T), Spicy Salsa (V.T), Southern Fried Chicken (V.T). Bacon (V.T), Mushroom (Plain), Spaghetti Bolognese (Plain) Chow Mien (Plain), Sweet and Sour (Bland), Balti (Bland), Tex Mex (Bland), The taste varies and there are some that I found Very Tasty, Plain to quite Bland but in general most of the various flavours are very tasty. Cooking them could not be simpler, Just open the packet, pop it in a pan with a mug of water and cook until...

Review of Batchelors Super Noodles

Quite Litteraly super

Advantages: Gameplay, Graphics, imagination,design
Disadvantages: suits hard to control

...Finally, the game all wii owners have been waiting for, and it doesn't dissapoint, Super Mario Galaxy is possibly one of the greatest video games of all. You can't not love it, whether your a hardcore gamer or a child. The story starts in a fairly familiar way Bowser kidnapps Princess Peach and Mario sets out to save her. However from then on Mario needs to travel into different galaxies to collect power stars, which allow Rosalina to see further on into the universe. This continues until Mario has ollected enough power stars so Rosalina can see Bowser in the centre of the universe. When you travel to a galaxy they are a joy to explore you jump from tint planets to other tiny planets where the gravitational forces pull you in. Another way of traveling to another planet is via pull stars, what you do is hold the A when the pointer...

Super Show!

Advantages: Teaches letter and word recognition, fun to watch, updates classic stories
Disadvantages: Annoying songs throughout!

...Since becoming a mum, I've become more familiar with children's television shows than I ever cared to be. I'm happy that Harry favours more of the traditional shows such as Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Bob the Builder and Noddy, but occasionally he stumbles across a more modern show that he falls in love with. Sky television channel Nick Jnr airs an original American show called "Super Why" a few times a day, and its become a regular watch for us, and is often found on our Sky Plus recording list as well! Super Why is a show aimed at toddlers aged from around 3 years old, and encourages the learning of reading and recognising letters and words through interactive stories. It's an interesting concept, and one I've finally gotten my head around after quite a few watches. Although the show started in America, it's been dubbed for English...

Review of Super Why

A super book

Advantages: tactile book
Disadvantages: Overlapping bits can be damaged

...The Super sandwich I teach children wioth Special Needs and whenever we are involved in a topic try to find sensory materials, and this includes books. I found this book when we were doing a topic on food, and bought it along with the other book in the series-The Incredible cake. Although the books retail for £5.99, I bought these in a discount bookstore and they cost £5 for the two, so I wasn't complaining. The books thamselves are square shaped, and are therefore easy for little hands to hold. They have a thick and almost padded front and back cover making them instantly appealing for children to hold because they just don't feel like books usually do. The front cover is covered almost entirely with a picture of a slice of bread and behind the front cover, we can see different foods poking out at the top and to the side...

Super Noodles

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Super noodles are a student must have, when I lived in halls in university I basically lived on Super noodles eating at least one packet a day, I probably put my self right off them because I havent ate them since. The reason I found Super noodles so great when I was living in halls was because they are really easy to make, you just add boiling water and pop them in the microwave, also because they are quick to make takeing just around 5-6 minutes to cook depending on how you like them. Also Super noodles are quite versetile and can go with a range of different foods as part of a meal for example as a side, in between two rounds of toast or they are just tasty on their own as well. Another good thing about Super noodles for students is that they are nearly impossible to burn so you wont waste your time and money on food...

Super Galaxies of Fun

Advantages: Full of fun, especially for children
Disadvantages: Missing some traditional Mario cast-members

...Nintendo's flagship series makes its way to the Wii, with "Super Mario Galaxy". It's always a challenge to find a household that won't benefit from a Mario game, given their guaranteed appeal to children and kids-at-heart, and "Galaxy" makes that challenge harder with joyous gameplay that should also entice gamers looking for more mature video-game experiences. The Story The Mushroom Kingdom is in merry colours as it prepares for the Stardust Festival: A celebration coinciding with the mysterious comet that fills the skies every one hundred years, causing a star shower as impressive as it is peculiar. Princess Peach invites our hero Mario over and he predictably arrives just in time to see the Princess doing what she does best: get kidnapped. To be fair, there's not much you can do when the kidnapper uproots the whole...

Super Balls.

Advantages: Very handy, nice shiny silver effect for cakes, desserts. Contains no gunk.
Disadvantages: Little taste to them.

...Dr Oetker / Super Cook's Silver Balls What are they? *************** Sugar silver balls used in decorating cakes, biscuits buns and desserts. Special Features? ******************* These are tiny little silver balls made from sugar but covered with silver colouring. They contain no hydrogenated fats, artificial colours, artificial flavours, artificial sweetners or any artificial preseratives. What do I think of them? ************************* I really like using these for decorating, something silver and shiny just to add a bit of extra sparkle. My mum hates them as they remind her of metal and I suppose they can taste a little metallic when you have this thought in mind. They are also quite hard in texture, especially when they first go in your mouth, but being made of only sugar they do soon melt away. In...

Batchelors Super Noodles: I love the chicken ones best!

Advantages: Great packaging makes them stand out, good price, delicious taste, I love the flavouring.
Disadvantages: High in fat & calories... Oh well!

...I adore Super Noodles and when I saw these on offer, 3 for £1.00 in Tesco recently I just had to buy £3.00 worth of the chicken flavour. There are quite a few flavours available including chicken, chinese chicken, bacon, barbeque beef, sweet & sour, curry etc but chicken is my favourite and always has been. The noodles are provided in a blue foil fresh packet with the Batchelors logo, a picture of some super noodles & the usual nutritional information and ingredients etc. Inside the packet is 100g of noodles and a little silver packet of flavouring (dependant on what pack you've purchased of course). I do not following the cooking instructions precisely on the packet and here is how I make mine: I break my noodles in to four or six pieces and then put them in a bowl, top with cold water & then put in the microwave for around 2...

Fairly Super Mario Homage

Advantages: A very different and playable Mario game, with nods to the classics
Disadvantages: Not entirely original, sometimes frustrating

...Welcome to my second Wii game review. Only a couple of weeks ago I purchased Super Mario Galaxy secondhand, very curious about what it was like to play (and what all the fuss was about). I had since found out that the game is being held up as "one of the greatest games ever made", with reviews giving it nearly unanimous perfect scores, and Nintendo fanboys and fangirls creaming their pants. So here is my take on Super Mario Galaxy. OVERVIEW The game takes place in a 3D universe, where Mario visits different "galaxies" to retrieve various stars. The game is divided into six rooms, with five "galaxies" in each room. Each galaxy comprises of five levels, with extra levels that act as side-quests. There are also "hidden" levels in other parts of the game, which are accessed by performing specific tasks. Collecting stars in...

Super, Not Just Freaky

Advantages: A fun little story
Disadvantages: Tails off a little towards the end

...My exposure to the literature of New Zealand has up to this point been quite limited. Thanks to the "Lord of the Rings" films, I've seen plenty of the scenery and found that to be very impressive. Thanks to friends I have also been exposed to their rugby teams, which are also very impressive and their music which, quite frankly, isn't. But just as the scenery from the films prompted a friend to visit the country, so a first taste of their writing has encouraged me to seek out more. "The Super Freak" is the story of Jacob John Smith, who is a bit of a loner thanks to being forced to move schools several times because of his father's job. Not trusting in people, he loses himself in books as he can rely on them to always be there. But then, a couple of things happen to Jacob John Smith that he didn't expect; he makes a couple of good...
