Green Fingers

I think I finally have something to plant with my chillies next year.

Travel Gadget

I'm a sucker for a gadget, and if it aids travel then I'm interested.

This is a pretty cool piece of kit, Grid-It.

Only problem is it does not appear to be available outside the US... which tipples the price when you add packaging, making a minor treat quite extravagant.

Does anyone out there know if there are any UK or even European stockists?

Briscoe's second outing...

... in an England in shirt gives another try, three now in total.

Well done to you Tom!

P.S. More cheese to come.

Out Foxed

It looks like Tony Smith in his infinite wisdom has dropped Peter Fox for Tom Briscoe.

Hull Daily Mail

Best of luck to Tom (and England) against the French!

(There will be a return to cheese related posts soon)

Cheese Essentials I

Not sure if there will be a post from our Italian Cheese Diarists, but I'll leave this little bite for anyone interested.

The Ritz Cracker, one of the holy trinity of crackers, yes there are two more to come.

They don't bounce, they just shatter and they are the perfect with any cheese, over all a perfect 10!

Even More Cheese

Another day without a post from our intrepid cheese boggers (The Italian Cheese Diaries), so I'm back again to fill to void and provide more
even amusement.

Update - Erm I jumped the gun and the Italian Cheese Police have blogged...

Today I offer you Dairylea spread

A classic from childhood for you all, I have chosen the classic triangles, just shows how old I am. The cows on the new packaging really worry me.

Colour: Under the bright blue
and silver packaging is a very pale firm creamy triangle of cheesiness

Tasting notes: Good with cream crackers, Ritz crackers, Rivita or and even on its own, very creamy. Mind the red plastic string/strip hidden inside to aid opening...

Bounce test: Dosn't bounce, think more of a crumple zone crash test, would be interesting to see how high to drop it from to break the silver wrapping.

Score: 6/10 (no good for nacho dipping so I had to mark it down)

More cheese

Another day without a post from our intrepid cheese boggers (The Italian Cheese Diaries), so I'm back to fill to void and provide more amusement than anything else.

Today I offer you Cheese In A Can

Another hat tip to our friends from over the Atlantic and I do when presented with things like this wonder what someone was thinking to try and create this. More worrying are the people who said "yes - what a great idea, lets market that"...

Colour: A very worrying orange that I believe is visible to the human eye from two miles even in the dark

Tasting notes: There are many things I will eat and have eaten, I'm afraid I am at this time unable to pass any judgement as to the best of my knowledge I have not eaten it... yet...

Bounce test: Win can, a good bounce at a guess, without can, more of a splat.
