Tip top tea

Advantages: Taste, quality
Disadvantages: none

...I LOVE TEA!!! Yes I do, and as I type this, sitting at my desk in my pyjamas I have a cup of tea with me, it?s the first thing I do after I wake up every morning!!! And to prove it, I?ve added a photo of me, with my favourite mug of tea!! (apologies I look mank, I haven?t been awake long!!!!). So, the particular tea product that is in my lovely pink mug (Tesco, 57p, got to love it!!!), is PG Tips, one of the most favourite brands of tea in this country. It?s very well known partly through the clever advertising, that includes the monkeys!!! I remember them from my childhood? So, yes, PG Tips, also famous because of the innovative pyramid bag. The purpose of the pyramid bag is to allow the loose tea leaves to move around freely, and to create a fuller and much more enjoyable flavour, and therefore heighten your tea drinking...

Tip Top Cup

Advantages: No spills
Disadvantages: Abit heavy when full

...This is an ideal cup for those babies who are already able to tip up cups and drink themselves. My son had this cup when he was first learning and had some difficulty in tipping up the cup as it seemed a little on the heavy side and the flow of the liquid was on the fast side. Now he has no problems and I think it is a great brightly coloured cup. The best bit about it is that you can seal the lid so makes it ideal for taking out on our travels with getting no spills. The cup is suitable for all types of sterilisation and also microwave and dishwasher freindly. I bought this from Tesco's for £2.99, not the cheapest of trainer cups but I think one of the best....

Top Kitchen Tips

Advantages: A Clean Kitchen
Disadvantages: The Kitchen Cant Clean Itself

...Below I have listed some kitchen tips that I managed to find, I hope they are of some use to you :-) KITCHEN DISASTERS We all have done it; occasionally in the middle of cooking we answer the telephone or completely forget to check on the food, this equals a kitchen disaster but do not panic! these tips should come in handy: Burnt Gravy Pour it into a clean pan, add some sugar to it a little at a time (to avoid it becomming too sweet) the sugar will take the burnt flavour away. Lumpy Gravy Add a knob of butter, if this does not work you can pass the mixture through a sieve. Too Much Salt If you accidentally add too much ssalt you can disguise the saltiness by adding certain ingredients such as tomatoes, sweet sherry or plain yoghurt - depending on which is most suitable for the dish you are cooking. Burnt the food to...

Ten Top Tips

Advantages: Useful tips you might not know
Disadvantages: None that i can think off

...Yes i am back, i have been off ciao for a long time so i hope you enjoy reading about useful tips in the kitchen, here goes; 1) When boiling an egg, first make a prick in the rounded end. This allows steam to escape and stops cracking. 2) When making shortcrust pastry( and you all do dont you), wrap it in a plastic bag and refrigerate for half an hour to allow it to rest prior to rolling. 3) Make mashed potato a bit different by stirring in thick natural yoghurt and herbs and garlic. 4) An easy way to grate a piece of freshly peeled ginger is to freeze it, then grate when you need it. 5) To avoid those tears when chopping an onion, keep the onion root in tact while you chop. 6) To stop those hard boiled eggs from going black, immediately put under cold water once cooked and leave them in cold water until they are...

Top Tips :-)

Advantages: Possibly funny
Disadvantages: Probably not

...I've just been sent some top tips, so I thought it my duty to forward them on to everybody!! I took the rude ones out :-) But I hope the remaining ones don't offend anyone. ********************************* If a small child is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down its throat and hey presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed. Give up smoking by sticking one cigarette from each new pack up a friend's a**e, filter first, then replacing it in the box. The possibility of putting that one in your mouth will put you off smoking any of them. Housewives: When nipping out to the shops, remember to carry a stiff broom in the boot of your car. Use it to sweep the broken glass to the side of the road every time you have a minor accident. Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish...

Tip Top Tiptree jam

Advantages: sweet strawberry taste; nice texture
Disadvantages: Too sweet due to high sugar content; VERY sticky; not enough strawberry peices

...Working in a restaurant during the morning, we have little glass jars of jams, marmalade and honey for toast, all made by 'Wilkin and sons Tiptree'. You can buy them in supermarkets in bigger jars but we have the delightfully cute mini versions. There are a whole variety of flavours in the range. Check out the web at: www.tiptree.com. I'm reviewing the strawberry 'conserve'/ jam because we only stock the strawberry and blackcurrant but this one is my favourite. I love jam; especially swirled into Total 0% greek yogurt. Whereas nothing can beat my Marlene's Maribel Raspberry vanilla jam from Lidl (see my review) I do really like to stick my finger in these little jars and scoop out the jam for a quick sugar fix. Unfortunately, these are the full sugar varieties (though tip tree do stock reduced sugar ones) but seeing as the glass jars...

Ooooooohhh + On The OPP Tip

Advantages: Lots of big ones
Disadvantages: A couple of tunes let it down

...?Ooooooohhh.... On the TLC Tip? came out in 1992 and was the debut album from the girl group. TLC. T-Boz, Left-Eye, and Chilli made up the trio and together they came as something brand new and original at the time as they combined elements of R&B and Hip Hop to represent exactly what they are as artists. Judging by the time, many would just call this New Jack Swing, but they took the Rap side to its full potential, and performed this on almost every tune throughout. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Ain?t 2 Proud 2 Beg? This one kicks off the album, and has the girls start it in just the right way with the single which they debuted on as they sample ?Take Me To The Mardi Gras? and perform a tune which has them going right into some New Jack Swing to up the tempo as you feel the flow of them, and what they are about. **Five Stars** 3. ?Shock Dat...

My Tip-Top Top Ten

Advantages: millions
Disadvantages: none

...I really struggled when trying to think of my top 10 books. At first loads sprung to mind, but it was trying to pick out those ones that just had that slight edge of any of the others that I had trouble with. And once I had my top 10 it was impossible trying to put them into any sort of order. In the end I chose 10 books that I thought that made a well-rounded group of books altogether. So here we go, in no particular order, my top 10 books of all time... 'Jane Eyre', Charlotte Bronte. I first read this book when I was at school, and then again a couple of weeks ago for a course I'm doing on women's writing and difference. The reason I love this book is because compared to other novels of its time, Bronte's heroine is so headstrong and confident. You will have seen that episode of Friends: Rachel: "what struck me most when reading...

Q-Tip's Gettin' Up: The Renaissnace

Advantages: Consistent quality
Disadvantages: Little variation

...raps on top of production which is lead by some heavy bass, which comands throughout as he gets selfless in his rhymes. **Four Stars** 6. "We Love/We Fight" Q-Tip tells us how life, especially in America is so strongly divided as it has him refer to the love and hate which we see in everything what we do, and how this balance is what keeps us going in life. I found it a nice one to fit in with the rest of the album, but it doesn't really stand out. **Four Stars** 7. "Manwomanboogie" Here is a funky one from Q and has him flowing on some of his own beats. I found that he was highly inventive as he stuck in the story of America within the exciting beats by talking about how it started with Reds, before White came and brought in Blacks, who kept grooving despite the hardship which they faced, and we are todl to dance once more...
