I knew that old age was finally starting to take root when I went food shopping this weekend and left with a copy of Sainsbury's magazine. There was a point in my life when a magazine featuring a car, a scantily clad woman and something relating to general manliness would have been my publication of choice but, at the tender age of 27 it seems I may have consigned myself instead to a publication geared mainly towards the middle aged women market.
So, what was it that tempted me to pick up Sainsbury's in store publication? Was it the free bar of chocolate, the low down of all the latest beauty products or the four page guide to becoming the ultimate party girl this Christmas?
It was in fact the pages upon pages of recipes that grace its pages as I have to admit that since moving house, I have developed something of a passion for cooking. Don't get me wrong, neither I nor Hayley could be described as being particularly good in the kitchen but at least we are now making an effort to cook everything from scratch rather than browning some mince before coating it in Dolmio.
Cookbooks have become quite restrictive as finding a recipe that calls for just what you happen to have in the fridge is quite a rare occurrence. The internet seemed like the best place to start when looking for exciting recipes and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the best two websites I found were the BBC (www.bbc.co.uk/food/) and Channel Four (www.channel4.com/food) pages.
The BBC site is certainly the most comprehensive, covering over 10,000 recipes from approximately 100 celebrity chefs. If you were to cook just one of these dishes a day, it would take 27 years to exhaust the list. The Channel Four site is less comprehensive with only a couple of thousands recipes but with contributions from Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall amongst others, it is certainly worth a look.
Both sites allow you to either simply browse what is on offer or alternatively you can enter a couple of ingredients and potential recipe matches will be returned. For example, typing chicken, chilli and onion in to the BBC site result in it suggesting to you that you may wish to cook some hot chilli fajitas this evening. Each recipe has the name of the contributing chef, preparation time, cooking time, a list of ingredients in both metric and imperial and a detailed method. If you are unsure of any particular terminology there is a particularly good glossary on the BBC site which covers everything from basic techniques to preparing a béarnaise sauce.
Both sites have additional video content and of particular note is the BBC page which gives you the ability to watch every BBC food program broadcast over the last seven days along with viewing several hundred video walkthroughs. Channel Four, on the other hand, have an on demand service which allows you to recap on up to thirty days of TV for free along with detailed information to accompany the Gordon Ramsey Cookalong series which is currently being broadcast live on a Friday evening.
Other information that may be of interest includes chef biographies, seasonal suggestions, forums, dietary information and competitions. I would recommend that both sites should be bookmarked, there is so much information on offer.

Have you ever wondered how your favorite fast food restaurants make those delicious menu items you love so much? What is it that we just can't get enough of? It's no secret, Americans love fast food. Every day millions of people head to their favorite fast food restaurants to indulge in their favorite guilty pleasures. If you include traditional restaurants, the average American dines out more than 3 times per week. That's a lot of money, and a lot of calories.
There are several cons to eating out frequently. The first is the costs. Eating out 3 to 5 times per week is expensive whether its fast food or a restaurant. It may not seem like much at the time, but it adds up. If you eat out just 3 times per week, it will likely cost you over 00 dollars per year, minimum. Then to add insult to injury, you have the high fat and carb content. Restaurant foods, especially fast food, is often very fatty and contains a lot of bad oils and simple carbohydrates. This leads to a bigger belt size among other health problems. Restaurant food also contains very high levels of sodium, which is a leading cause of high blood pressure. These are all great reasons to cut back on fast food and restaurant food in general.

One simple solution is to cook your favorite fast food recipes at home. It may sound strange, but you can actually make all your favorite restaurant dishes at home for a fraction of the price. Not only that, but you can use low fat alternative ingredients to make the dishes healthier without compromising flavor. It's an excellent alternative to eating greasy, salty fast food, and you don't have to give up your favorite dishes.
Here are some simple tips to reduce the fat and calories of your favorite fast food recipes:
1. Cook in low fat oil rather than deep frying
2. Use low fat mayonnaise, sour cream, and other dressings
3. Use lean ground beef instead of normal ground beef
There are many other ways to tweak your favorite restaurant dishes to make them taste delicious and while still being healthy. Not only that, but you can save a fortune.

Pantry Raid & Produce Run Soup
Image by smittenkittenorig
Food is one of my favorite things soI figure since I eat & cook on a regular basis, it's something I can post about somewhat regularly as well.
I whipped up this very veggie soup yesterday after picking up some local produce & having a pantry raid. It's occurred to me that it actually is relatively cheap to make while being quite filling & a great way to get your vegetables in.
Ingredients
2-3 cups fresh green beans
1 medium sized yellow squash
1 medium sized onion
1 medium sized pepper (green, red, yellow or orange)
4-5 small to medium sized carrots
1 can pinto beans
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste (5-6 oz can)
4 cups hot water
1 tbsp Better Than Bullion Vegetable Base
1 tsp basil
1 tsp crushed rosemary
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
Method
Chop & dice your fresh vegetables before you get to the bit with the pot & heat. It saves time & aggravation in the end.
Sautee onions & peppers in soup pot in the olive oil & minced garlic. Sprinkle in a little salt to get the onions & peppers to sweat a bit. Cook until somewhat softened & stir often so nothing sticks to bottom of pot or browns.
Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, carrots & water to the pot. Turn heat up to medium. Add vegetable base, tomato paste & seasonings. Incorporate well & bring soup to just a boil. Add green beans & yellow squash. Adjust seasoning to taste. Cook on simmer for two hours, just until the vegetables are firm not hard & still vibrant in color. Serve & enjoy.
*Note: Do stir this soup on a regular basis as you don't want the beans to congregate on the bottom of the pot too long & stick. Ever 20 minutes or so seemed to work well.

Heidi's Perfect Kangaroo Marinade
Image by Pieter Pieterse
Here it is, the secret to cooking this healthy meat like a gourmet chef!!
(Click "All Sizes" for the bigger readable size)
This marinating process makes kangaroo steaks taste better than beef fillets - at half the price. This marinade softens the meat and removes the sharpness which is sometimes a bit harsh in kangaroo meat.
Almost foolproof, as long as you don't overcook the steaks!!
Watch this space for the perfect red wine/mustard jus for dressing the steaks!
Smoked Mackerel Fish Cakes
Image by cowfish
2 Peppered Smoked Mackerel Fillets
2 Medium Potatoes
3 Spring Onionis
2 tsps Horseradish
1 egg
Flour
Breadcrumbs
Makes 6 Fish cakes, enough for 3 hungry people.
Boil the potatoes and then leave them to dry out a little after draining. Skin and flake the mackerel and chop the spring onions. Mash the potatoes and then stir in the mackerel and spring onions, adding horseradish to bind it all together. Form into patties and then put in the fridge to cool for at least an hour.
When you are ready to eat, dip them in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and shallow fry them until golden.
Next time I make these I'll make sure to add some salt and pepper - despite the smoking and the peppering of the fish it definately needed more seasoning.

Old Fashioned British Sweets From Your Childhood
Image by brizzle born and bred
Do you remember your favourite childhood sweets and the excitement of going to the local sweet shop and choosing from the vast array of jars on the shelves full of colourful mouth watering temptations?
They were weighed by the quarter on a big old fashioned metal scale pan and packaged into small white paper bags.
For many of us, the Saturday ritual of sweets-buying has lingered into adulthood, and it is heartening to find so many places selling from jars. Indeed, the Bonds sweets factory in Carlisle - a major supplier - is planning to redesign its plastic jars to be squatter and wider than usual: an echo of the prewar shape. Multicoloured jars lined up on shelves are very alluring, for many of us a potent reminder of a time when the local sweet shop represented a kind of El Dorado.
If you thought it was just kids who ate sugar confectionery you'd be wide of the mark. Many of the lines might have been developed for children but prove a hit with adults, too. Even the tough guys (and gals) in the British armed forces love their sweets according to NAAFI figures, servicemen and women in Afghanistan last year munched their way through 923,583 bags of Haribo.
Here in the UK, sweetie buying habits change as we hopefully head towards warmer weather, with more people opting for fruity sweets rather than chocolate bars.
THE SWEETS GRAVEYARD
Spangles
Dimpled, square boiled sweets in fruit-flavoured and Old English varieties. Spangles was a brand of boiled sweets, manufactured by Mars Ltd in the United Kingdom from 1950 to the early eighties. They were bought in a paper tube with individual sweets cellophane wrapped. They were distinguished by their shape which was a rounded square with a circular depression on each face.
The regular Spangles tube (labelled simply "Spangles") contained a variety of translucent, fruit flavoured sweets: strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, pineapple, lemon and lime.
Originally the sweets were not individually wrapped, but later a waxed paper, and eventually a cellophane wrapper was used. The tube was a bright orange-red colour, bearing the word "Spangles" in a large letters. In the seventies a distinctive, seventies-style font was used.
Over the production period many different, single flavour varieties were introduced including Acid Drop, Barley Sugar, Blackcurrant, Liquorice, Peppermint, Spearmint and Tangerine.
The Old English Spangles tube contained traditional English flavours such as liquorice, mint humbugs, cough candy, butterscotch and pear drops. One of the flavours was an opaque mustard yellow colour, and one was striped.
The sweets' individual wrappers were striped, distinguishing them from regular Spangles. The tube was black, white and purple, and designed for a more mature and specific clientele than the regular variety.
Spangles were discontinued in the early eighties, and briefly reintroduced in 1994, including in Woolworths outlets in the UK. There are many nostalgic references to them from children who grew up with them. Spangles are associated with the 1970s and they, like Space Hoppers or the Raleigh Chopper, have become shorthand for lazy nostalgia for the time, as in the phrase "Do you remember Spangles?"
Today the Tunes brand is the only remaining relation of the Spangles brand, sharing the shape and wrapping of the original product. In the UK, Tunes no longer have the Spangles style packaging, and they are now lozenge-shaped.
Cabana bar
Very sweet coconut-centred chocolate bar with cherry twist made by Cadbury's.
Pineapple Mars
This early tropical-flavoured prototype was not a lasting success
Fry's Five Centres
Follow-up to famous Fry's Five Boys. Fry's Cream is a chocolate bar made by Cadbury's, and formerly by J. S. Fry & Sons. It consists of a fondant centre enrobed in dark chocolate and is available in a plain version, and also peppermint or orange fondant. Fry's Chocolate Cream was one of the first chocolate bars ever produced, launched in 1866.
There are currently three variants of Fry's Cream:
Fry's Chocolate Cream
Fry's Orange Cream
Fry's Peppermint Cream
Over the years, other variants existed:
Fry's Five Centre (orange, raspberry, lime, strawberry, and pineapple), produced from 1934 to 1992.
Fry's Strawberry Cream
Fry's Pineapple Cream
Cadbury's also produced a solid milk chocolate bar called Five Boys using the Fry's trademark in the 1960s. Cadbury's produced milk and plain chocolate sandwich bars under the Fry's branding also.
Fry's chocolate bar was promoted by model George Lazenby, later James Bond actor, in 1962.
The Fry's Chocolate bar was first produced in Union Street, Bristol, England in 1866, where the family name had been associated with chocolate making since circa 1759. In 1923 Fry's (now Cadbury) chocolate Factory moved to Keynsham, England, but due to the imminent closure of the factory the production of the bar will move, possibly to Poland.
Banjo bar
Banjo is a chocolate bar once available in the UK. Introduced with a substantial television advertising campaign in 1976, Banjo was a twin bar (similar in shape and size to Twix) and based upon a wafer with a chopped peanut layer and the whole covered in milk chocolate. It was packaged in distinctive navy blue - with the brand name prominently displayed in yellow block text - and was one of the first British snack bars to have a heat-sealed wrapper closure instead of the reverse-side fold common to most domestically-produced chocolate bars at that time. It was available into the 1980s. There was a coconut version also available in a red wrapper with yellow text.
Aztec bars
So many sweet lovers would love to be able to enjoy Aztec bars again. Sadly it isn't possible to buy Aztec bars at the moment. It was like a Mars Bar but not as sickly because it had nougat instead of toffee. It had a purple wrapper it was made by Cadbury's.
Opal Fruits
Mars, the manufacturers, is bringing back the sweets for a limited period in conjunction with the supermarket chain ASDA.
The fruit chews that were "made to make you mouth water" were replaced by Starburst in 1998, the name under which they had been exported to the US in the seventies.
But the iconic British brand is being revived in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the change.
They will be available for an initial period of 12 weeks from May 10, exclusively in ASDA stores.
A spokesperson for ASDA said: "The demise of the Opal Fruit was mourned across the nation, and we're really excited to be staging the exclusive comeback of this great British favourite."
Opal Fruits were initially introduced in Britain in the 1960s.
In 1998, the US brand Starburst was adopted in England in order to standardise the brand in the global marketplace.
Expectations are high that the move to bring back Opal Fruits will be popular with consumers.
As well as reverting to the original flavours of lemon, lime, orange and strawberry, the new Opal Fruits will be a strictly natural affair.
The limited edition will be produced using no artificial colouring or preservatives, a move that both ASDA and Mars hope will appeal to twenty-first century customers.
The return of Opal Fruits continues the recent trend of reviving classic brands.
Cadbury reintroduced the Wispa last year after an internet campaign which also involved protesters storming a stage at the Glastonbury festival.
Sherbert Fountain
Sherbet is sold in a plastic tube with twist-off lid, with a stick made from liquorice as a sherbet fountain. Many consumers regret the replacement of the former paper packaging, which allowed an extra dimension of enjoyment: the crushing of the caked lumps of sherbet as the paper cylinder was rolled between the hands. The top of the stick is supposed to be bitten off to form a straw and the sherbet sucked through it, where it fizzes and dissolves on the tongue, though many people prefer to either dip the liquorice in the sherbet and lick it off or to tip the sherbet into their mouths and eat the liquorice separately.
When paired with liquorice, sherbet is typically left unflavoured in a white form and with a higher reactive agent so that it causes a fizzy foam to develop in the mouth.
They are manufactured by Barratt, a subsidiary of Tangerine Confectionery.
Though some shops still sell the old-style only.
Sherbert Flying Saucers
Small dimpled discs made from edible coloured paper (rice paper), typically filled with white unflavoured sherbet (the same form as in Sherbet Fountains) These sweets had sherbert in the middle and a kind of melt-in-your-mouth outer shell.
Black Jacks Chews
Black Jack is a type of "aniseed flavour chew" according to its packaging. This means that it is a chewy (gelatin-based) confectionery. Black Jack is manufactured under the Barratt brand in Spain. Black Jack is very similar to Fruit Salad, which are also manufactured by Barratt.
Black Jacks are one of the most well-known classic British sweets. They`re aniseed-flavoured, chewy and black with a unique taste, and they make your tongue go black!
The original labels from the 1920's pictured a grinning gollywog - unbelievably, back then images of black people were used to advertise Liquorice. This is seen as unacceptable today, of course, and by the late 80s manufacturers Trebor deleted the golly logo. It was replaced by a pirate with a black beard.
In the early 1990s the pirate logo was replaced by a rather boring black and white swirl design.
Cabana bars
Cabana bars died out in about 1984, and as they were made by Rowntree (sold to Nestle in 1989) they're very unlikely to make a comeback.
Licorice Bootlaces
Long thin strips of licorice in the shape of boot laces.
Pineapple Chunks
Pineapple Flavour Hard Boiled Sweets.
Jamboree Bag
Bags of different sorts of sweets, with dodgy plastic toys and whistles etc, where are they now?
Rhubarb & Custard
Rhubarb and Custard flavoured boiled sweet, with it's two colours.
Gobstoppers
Gobstoppers, known as jawbreakers in Canada and the United States, are a type of hard sweet or candy. They are usually round, usually range from about 1 cm across to 3 cm across (though much bigger gobstoppers can sometimes be found in Canadian/US candy stores, up to 8 cm in diameter) and are traditionally very hard.
The term gobstopper derives from 'gob', which is United Kingdom/Ireland slang for mouth.
Gobstoppers usually consist of several layers, each layer dissolving to reveal a different colored (and sometimes different flavoured) layer, before dissolving completely. Gobstoppers are sucked or licked, being too hard to bite without risking dental damage (hence the US title).
Gobstoppers have been sold in traditional sweet shops for at least a century, often sold by weight from jars. As gobstoppers dissolve very slowly, they last a very long time in the mouth, which is a major factor in their enduring popularity with children. Larger ones can take days or even weeks to fully dissolve, risking a different kind of dental damage.
In 2003, Taquandra Diggs, a nine year old girl in Starke, Florida, suffered severe burns, allegedly from biting down on a Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper that had been left out in the sun. Diggs and several other victims' families filed lawsuits against Nestlé for medical bills resulting from plastic surgery as well as pain and suffering; the matters were later settled outside of court for an undisclosed amount.
A 2004 episode of the Discovery Channel television program "Myth Busters" episode subsection named Exploding Jawbreakers then demonstrated that heating a gobstopper in a microwave oven can cause the different layers inside to heat at different rates, yielding an explosive spray of very hot candy when compressed; Myth Busters crew members Adam Savage and Christine Chamberlain received light burns after a gobstopper exploded.
Acid Drops
Tongue-tinglingly sharp boiled sweets.
Barley Sugar
Barley sugar (or barley sugar candy) is a traditional variety of British boiled sweet, or hard candy, yellow or orange in colour with an extract of barley added as flavouring. It is similar to hard caramel candy in its texture and taste.
Barley sugars and other energy sweets are the only food allowed to be eaten in the New Zealand & Australian 40 Hour Famine, an annual event which draws attention to world hunger. A single barley sugar is allowed to be consumed once every 4 hours during the 40 Hour Famine. This applies to participants older than primary school age.
Bulls Eyes Humbug
Humbugs are a traditional hard boiled sweet available in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They are usually flavoured with peppermint and striped in two different colours (often brown and tan). They have a hard outside and a soft toffee centre. Humbugs are typically cylinders with rounded ends wrapped in a twist of cellophane, or else pinched cylinders with a 90-degree turn between one end and the other (shaped like a pyramid with rounded edges), loose in a bag.
They are more often eaten in winter than summer, as they are considered "warming." The name of the candy is not related to the phrase "Bah, humbug" derived from Dickens' A Christmas Carol. That expression implies a general dissatisfaction with the Christmas season. However, offering humbugs around Christmas time is now seen by some as humorous or ironic, and was featured in an episode of Blackadder in this manner.
A similar sweet is "bulls-eye" which has black and white stripes like a humbug but is spherical like an aniseed ball. These are peppermint flavoured and are also known as bullets in the UK as they are similar in size to smoothbore musket balls.
Love Hearts
Love Hearts are a type of confectionery manufactured by Swizzels Matlow in the United Kingdom. They are hard, fizzy, tablet-shaped sweets in a variety of fruit flavours featuring a short, love-related message on one side of the sweet.
The sweets are small and circular, approximately 19 mm in diameter, and 5 mm in height (including the embossed decorations). Both sides are embossed with a decoration, the rear with a large outline of a heart and the front with the message within an outline of a heart. On the front of the sweet the embossing is highlighted with a red colouring.
The main body of the sweet is coloured in one of the 6 colours - white, yellow, orange, green, purple or red. Especially for the darker red and purple colourings this colouring is somewhat blotchy.
Fruit Salads
Fruit Salad is a type of "Raspberry & Pineapple flavour chew" according to its packaging. This means that it is a chewy (gelatin-based) confectionery. Fruit Salad is manufactured by Barratt in Spain. Fruit Salad is very similar to Black Jack, which are also manufactured by Barratt.
Sweet 'Cigarette' Sticks
(sticks wrapped in paper, in packs that looked just like real cigarettes)
Candy cigarettes is a candy introduced in the early 20th century made out of chalky sugar, bubblegum or chocolate, wrapped in paper as to resemble cigarettes. Their place on the market has long been controversial because many critics believe the candy desensitizes children, leading them to become smokers later in life. Because of this, the selling of candy cigarettes has been banned in several countries such as Finland, Norway, the Republic of Ireland, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
In the United States a ban was considered in 1970 and again in 1991, but was not passed into federal law. The U.S. state of North Dakota enacted a ban on candy cigarettes from 1953 until 1967. In Canada federal law prohibits candy cigarette branding that resembles real cigarette branding and the territory of Nunavut has banned all products that resemble cigarettes.
The Family Smoking and Prevention Control Act was misquoted as banning candy cigarettes. The Act bans any form of added flavoring in tobacco cigarettes other than menthol. It does not regulate the candy industry.
Candy cigarettes continue to be manufactured and consumed in many parts of the world. However, many manufacturers now describe their products as candy sticks, bubble gum, or candy.
Popeye Cigarettes marketed using the Popeye character were sold for a while and had red tips (to look like a lit cigarette) before being renamed candy sticks and being manufactured without the red tip.
Liquorice "Smoker's Sets"
Sweet smokers sets with sweet cigarettes, tobacco and liquorice pipes. CONCERNS have been raised about the availability of candy-style imitation cigarettes. The sweets, which look remarkably like a hand-rolled cigarette and packaged in replica cigarette packets.
"Recently there has been a trend for buying so-called retro candy such as aniseed balls and spangles. It's unfortunate that chocolate cigarettes have re surfaced but it's not illegal to sell them and it's really up to retailers to decide whether or not it's a product with which they wish to be associated."
Aniseed Balls
Aniseed balls are a type of hard round sweet sold in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. They are shiny and dark brownish red, and hard like Gobstoppers.
Aniseed Balls are something you either love or hate! They are flavoured by aniseed oil (obviously!), and have a very strong aniseed flavour. They last for a long time in the mouth before dissolving and in the centre of the ball is a whole rapeseed that can be crushed.
Butterscotch
Butterscotch is a type of confectionery whose primary ingredients are brown sugar and butter, although other ingredients such as corn syrup, cream, vanilla, and salt are part of some recipes.
The ingredients for butterscotch are similar to toffee, but for butterscotch the sugar is boiled to the soft crack stage, and not hard crack as with toffee. Butterscotch sauce is often made into a syrup, which is used as a topping for ice cream (particularly sundaes).
The term butterscotch is also often used for the flavour of brown sugar and butter together even where actual confection butterscotch is not involved, e.g. butterscotch pudding.
Food historians have several theories regarding the name and origin of this confectionery, but none are conclusive. One explanation is the meaning "to cut or score" for the word "scotch", as the confection must be cut into pieces, or "scotched", before hardening. It is also possible that the "scotch" part of its name was derived from the word "scorch".
However, the word was first recorded in Doncaster, in England, where Samuel Parkinson began making the confectionery in 1817. Parkinson's Butterscotch had royal approval and was one of Doncaster's attractions until it ceased production in 1977. The recipe was revived in 2003 when a Doncaster businessman and his wife rediscovered the recipe on an old folded piece of paper inside one of the famous St Leger tins in their cellar.
Butterscotch is an example of a genericized trademark, originally a trademark of Parkinson's.
Jelly Babies
Jelly babies are a type of soft confectionery that look like little babies in a variety of colours. There are currently several companies that make jelly babies, most predominantly Trebor Bassett (part of the Cadbury Group of companies, and famous for their liquorice allsorts) and also Rowntree (Nestlé).
Jelly Babies were launched by Bassett's in 1918 in Sheffield as "Peace Babies" to mark the end of World War I. Production was suspended during World War II due to wartime shortages and the fact that the name had largely become ironic. In 1953 the product was relaunched as "Jelly Babies". In March 1989 Bassett's were taken over by Cadbury Schweppes who had earlier acquired the Trebor brand.
Jelly Babies manufactured in the United Kingdom tend to be dusted in starch which is left over from the manufacturing process where it is used to aid release from the mould. Jelly Babies of Australian manufacture generally lack this coating.
Like many gummy sweets, they contain gelatin and are thus not suitable for vegetarians.
A popular science class experiment is to put them in a strong oxidising agent and see the resulting spectacular reaction. The experiment is commonly referred to as "Screaming jelly babies".
Each Bassett's Jelly Baby now has an individual name and shape, colour and flavour: Brilliant (red - strawberry), Bubbles (yellow - lemon), Baby Bonny (pink - raspberry), Boofuls (green - lime), Bigheart (purple - blackcurrant) and Bumper (orange). The introduction of different shapes and names was a new innovation, circa 1989, prior to which all colours of jelly baby were a uniform shape.
Jelly Babies are similar in appearance to Gummi bears, which are better known outside of the United Kingdom, though the texture is different, Jelly Babies having a harder outer "crust" and a softer, less rubbery, centre.
In 2007, Bassett's Jelly Babies changed to include only natural colours and ingredients.
In the early 1960s, after Beatles guitarist George Harrison revealed in an interview that he liked jelly babies, audiences showered him and the rest of the band with the sweets at live concerts and fans sent boxes of them as gifts.[citation needed] Unfortunately American fans could not obtain this soft British confection, replacing them with harder jelly beans instead. To the group's discomfort, they were frequently pelted with jelly beans during concerts while in America.
Jelly babies are popular with several of the Doctors in the television series Doctor Who. The Second Doctor was the first to have them in his pockets. The Fourth Doctor had them throughout his time on the show. They also appear briefly with the Tenth Doctor In the 2007 episode "The Sound of Drums", The Master is seen eating them.
Dolly mixture
This is a British confection, consisting of a variety of multi-coloured fondant shapes, such as cubes and cylinders, with subtle flavourings. The mixtures also include hard-coated fondants in "round edged cube" shapes and sugar coated jellies. They are sold together, in a mixture in a medium-sized packet. It is produced by various companies in different countries; the most popular brands are those produced by Trebor Bassett (now a part of the Cadbury's consortium)
Bonbons
The name bonbon (or bon-bon) stems from the French word bon, literally meaning “good”. In modern usage, the term "bonbon" usually refers to any of several types of sweets and other table centerpieces across the world.
The first bonbons come from the 17th century when they were made at the royal court especially for children who were eating them and chanting bon, bon!, French for good, good!.
Bonbon is also a colloquial expression (as in, "She sat around all day eating bon-bons while her husband was at work."). This sweet inspired Johann Strauss II to compose a waltz named, "Wiener Bonbons".
Chewits
Chewits is the brand name of a chewy, cuboid-shaped, soft taffy candy manufactured by Leaf International.
Chewits was launched in the UK in 1965. The sweets were originally manufactured in Southport, but after the closing of the factory in 2006 manufacture was moved to Slovakia. The original flavours consisted of Strawberry, Blackcurrant, Orange and Banana. Over the years more exotic flavours such as Ice Cream, Cola, Rhubarb & Custard, and Blue Mint were introduced as limited edition flavours. New Chewits pack designs, formats and flavours were launched in 2009.
Currently Chewits core flavour range includes Strawberry, Blackcurrant, Fruit Salad, Ice Cream and Orange. Ice Cream Chewits, originally released in 1989, were re-introduced in 2009 following an online petition and demand expressed on Facebook and Bebo.
Chewits were first advertised on television in 1976. The original advertisements featured the 'Monster Muncher', a Godzilla-resembling mascot on the hunt for something chewy to eat. The first ad featuring the Muncher threatening New York was made by French Gold Abbott and created by John Clive and Ian Whapshot. The first ad was so successful the sequel was delayed. The 'Monster Muncher' chomps and tramples humorously local and well-known international landmarks such as Barrow-in-Furness Bus Depot, a London block of flats, London Bridge, the Taj Mahal, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Empire State Building. The 'Monster Muncher' could only be quelled by a pack of Chewits.
A spin-off computer game, The Muncher, was released for the ZX Spectrum in 1988.
The original adverts used claymation special effects, similar in style to those made famous in the movies of Ray Harryhausen. They also included a voiceover style reminiscent of a 1950s radio serial.
A subsequent advertisement, originally aired in 1995, plays on the over-the-top advertising style of the post-war era. To the tune of bright 50's era orchestration, a salesy narrator exhorts viewers to try a variety of chewy consumer items in the essential guide to a chewier chew. The ad shows the 'Monster Muncher' sampling items such as Wellington boots, a rubber boat and a rubber plant in order to be ready for the chewiest of chews - Chewits.
In the late 1990s, Chewits experimented with ads showing multiple news casting dinosaur puppets. The catchphrase advice at the close of each 'broadcast' was to "do it before you chew it". This style of ads was relatively short-lived for Chewits.
With a change of advertising agencies, the puppets were replaced by colourful 2D animations. The 'Monster Muncher' was re-introduced as 'Chewie' in two popular adverts from this time. In the first, which aired in 2000, Chewie roller skates on two buses through a busy city scene. The second, which went out a year later in 2001, shows Chewie waterskiing at a popular seaside resort. The ads included a rendition of the 1994 hit song 'I like to move it' by Reel 2 Real, with the chorus, "I like to Chewit Chewit."
In 2003, after a further shift in advertising agencies, a new ad was aired showing a wide range of animals auditioning to be the new face of Chewits. The ad announced the return of the iconic dinosaur Chewie mascot, now dubbed 'Chewie the Chewitsaurus'.
In 2009, Chewits introduced the new Chewie the Chewitsaurus look, showing a contemporary, computer-game-style slick design. Chewie the Chewitsaurus features on all Chewits packaging and sponsorship activity.
Fizzy Cola Bottles
Remember that fizzy, sour cola taste you used to get from these? I think these are another sweet you either love or hate. Real cola tasting Giant fizzy bottles.
Milk Bottles
These white milk bottle shaped chewy white sweets are also known as milk gums. They were pretty popular in the UK, and are still selling well today repackaged as retro sweets.
Pacers
These were a kind of Opal Fruits spin-off, but came in peppermint and spearmint flavours. They were discontinued sometime in the 80's.
Sweet Bananas
These yummy sweet bananas, soft, juicy chews with a lovely mellow banana flavour.
Mackintosh's Toffee
Mackintosh's Toffee is a sweet created by John Mackintosh.
Mackintosh opened up his sweets shop in Halifax, Yorkshire, England in 1890, and the idea for Mackintosh's Toffee, not too hard and not too soft, came soon after. In 1969, Mackintosh's merged with rival Rowntree to form Rowntree Mackintosh, which merged with Nestle in 1988.
The product is often credited with being over 100 years old.
The toffee is sold in bags containing a random assortment of individual wrapped flavoured toffees. The flavours are (followed by wrapping colour): Malt (Blue), Harrogate (Yellow), Mint (Green), Egg & Cream (Orange), Coconut (Pink), Toffee (Red). The red wrapped toffees do not display a flavour on the wrapper. The product's subtitle is "Toffee De Luxe" and its motto "a tradition worth sharing".
Space Dust
Space Dust the candy that pops when placed in your mouth.
Bazooka bubble gum
It was first marketed shortly after World War II in the U.S. by the Topps Company based in Brooklyn, New York. The gum was packaged in a patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme. Beginning in 1953, Topps changed the packaging to include small comic strips with the gum, featuring the character "Bazooka Joe". There are 50 different "Bazooka Joe" comic-strip wrappers to collect. The product has been virtually unchanged in over 50 years.
The Topps company expanded the flavors, making them Original, Strawberry Shake, Cherry Berry, Watermelon Whirl, and Grape Rage. The Strawberry flavor is packaged in a pink and white wrapper and the Grape in a purple and white wrapper. Bazooka gum can also be found in a sugar free variety with the standard bubble gum flavor and a "Flavor Blasts" variety, claimed to have longer lasting, more intense taste. Bazooka gum comes in 2 different sizes.
Bazooka bubblegum is sold in many countries, often with Bazooka Joe comic strips translated into the local language. Bazooka gum is sold in Canada with cartoons in both English and French, depending upon the city. In Israel, manufactured under license to Elite, the cartoons are written in Hebrew. The gum was also sold in Yugoslavia and later in Slovenia until the local licensee allowed their license to expire in 2006. The "Bazooka Joe" cartoons are about "Bazooka Joe" and his friends. There are also "Bazooka Joe" t-shirts in return for 15 Bazooka Joe comics and .99 while supplies last. But the offer has been discontinued.
In May 2009 it was announced that the Bazooka Joe comic was to be adapted into a Hollywood movie.
Traffic Light lollies
These were a red yellow and green lolly that was a childhood favourtite sweet for many.
Black Magic Chocolate
What a huge disappointment these chocolates are!! A few years ago Nestle made an almighty mistake by doing away with THE best brand of dark chocolates, favourites of many thousands of people, and replacing them with cardboard pretend chocolate squares which tasted cheap and nasty. Most boxes ended up in the bin. Last year I had a letter from Nestle saying they were bringing the classics back, fantastic, I was straight to the shop for some, so bad was my addiction, but horribly they are nothing like the originals.
The dont taste or smell the same, the centres are hard and taste of chemicals, like long gone off chocolates. The bottom line is this, why change them in the first place? and when you realised you had made a mistake why not bring back the originals instead of these tacky replacements. very sad, and I still havent found any chocs like Black Magic, I still have original boxes with ribbons from the 1950's, now they were class.
Texan
Ultra-chewy, chocolate-covered nougat bar launched in the mid-70s; disappeared in the mid-80s.
Banjo
Boring two-fingered wafer bar, lasted for most of the 80s.
Callard & Bowser Creamline Toffees
A 2001 casualty; they were better than Toffos.
Amazin Raisin
1971-78 - the sweets equivalent of rum'n'raisin ice cream.
Freshen Up
Chewing gum with a liquid centre, an 80s innovation.
Bluebird Toffee
A classic, but a recent casualty of confectionery industry takeovers.
Jap Desserts
These old coconut sweets (coconut was often known as 'Jap') died a death in the early 2000s.
Counters (Galaxy)
Harmless chocolate beans cruelly cut off.
Pink Panther
Extraordinary strawberry-flavoured chocolate bars, thin like Milky Bars. An acquired taste.
Bandit
Wafer biscuit - a challenger to Penguins.
Club bars
From Jacobs. The full range has been withdrawn, but Orange is still available. Symbol guide: plain = jack of clubs; milk = golf ball; mint = green leaf. Bog-standard but likable for thick chocolate.
Nutty Pure
80s bar, with a smoky brown see-through wrapper. Peanuts encase a fudge-type caramel log centre.
Double Agent
Extremely artificial blackcurrant- or apple-flavoured boiled sweets, with a sherbet centre and spy questions on the wrapper. Classic cold war confectionery.

Tadka Daal (Indian lentil curry)
Image by rovingI
Ingredients
Yellow lentils (Tuvar Daal)=====1 tea cup full
Turmeric powder (haldi)=======1/4 tsp
Red Chilli powder (hot)============1/2 tsp
Corriander powder============1/2 tsp
Garlic======================3 cloves
Cumin seeds (Jeera)=========1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds==============1/2 tsp
Green chilies================4 (optional)
Onion=====================1/2 (medium size)
Tomato====================1
Corriander leaves (cilantro)=====few sprigs
Vegetable oil================3 tbsp
☺♥
All these ingredients are available at any Indian store (some supermarkets e.g. Tescos also stock ingredients for Indian cooking now)
Method
1. Wash the yellow lentils 3-4 times in water before use. Cook them until soft. If you are using a pressure cooker, remove from heat after one whistle and leve until pressure comes down to normal. If not, soak the lentils overnight in water and boil in a covered vessel for ~30 minutes until cooked and soft throughout.
2. Chop the onion finely. Chop the tomato into cubes (not too fine). Slit the green chilies lengthwise. Crush and chop the garlic cloves finely.
3. Heat 3 table spoons of vegetable oil (olive / sunflower etc.) in a pan on high heat. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds. Add the green chilies and stir. Add the garlic and fry for ~30 seconds until lightly browned.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion and fry well until slightly browned (should take ~10 min) stir periodically to ensure the onions do not burn.
5. Add the turmeric, red chili and coriander powders and stir. Fry for 1 min.
6. Add the tomato and stir. Fry for 3 min until the tomato just begins to become soft.
7. Add the fried mix to the cooked yellow lentils and stir. Add salt to taste.
8. Boil the mix for 10 minutes on medium heat.
9. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
10. Serve with Basmati rice and pickle.

Answer by Bert C
You don't mention what type of diet you are on (low fat, low calorie, low carb, etc) so here is one that will work with most diets:
Raw vegetables with dip...choose a hot or cold dip that fits your diet.
Vegetables that work well are:
celery sticks
carrot sticks
mushrooms (stems still attached)
brocolli flowerettes
cauliflower flowerettes
green onions (scallions or spring onions)
radishes (leave the stems on)
asparagus (young and raw or older and lightly cooked and cooled)
cherry tomatos (stems attached)
In the past it was believed that your intelligence was something that was inherited or that it was a genetics thing. Although this is a possiblity it may not be a total truth. It is now believed that your intelligence can be determined by your environment, life experiences and your diet. So is there a brain food recipe that one can start eating to make them more intelligent?
Well I don't know if there is a exact recipe but from my research on foods and supplements it continually amazes me how foods and supplements can actually stimulate chemical reactions or add natural chemicals into your body and affect you in amazing ways.
So can food actually have a positive or negative effect on your brain function and brain power?
Well the answer is Yes! Egyptians have long thought that fish was brain food. Well actually fish is high in omega 3 fatty acids and since the neurons in your brain are rich in omega 3 fatty acids adding fish or omega 3 into your diet does indeed give your brain a boost in its function. It has been found that eating fish helps to create a healthy emotional environment and a more balanced and positive mood.
Proteins are also a very good substance for the brain. Proteins such as chicken and beef contain tyrosine, an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and cells and may also help the neurotransmitter within your brain to send and receive signal and information. They can also assist one in handling stress and help the body maintain a balanced blood sugar level.
Food such as avocados, raisins, apples and nuts contain a substance called boron which has the potential to increase your memory and attention.
Choline which has also been proven to improve brain function can be found in such foods as eggs and milk. Fruits and vegetables are also extremely important in protecting your brain. Fruits and vegetables have a high degree of anti-oxidants which protect your cells and brain from free radicals which cause your cells to be damaged and age faster.
Blueberry and blackberry are especially good for your brain since they contain Anthocyanins which is the most powerful form of anti-oxidant.
Other fruits and vegetable that have been found to have a high amount of anti-oxidants are strawberries, cranberries spinach, raspberries, brussel sprouts, plums, broccoli, oranges, red grapes, red bell pepper, cherries and kiwis.
Probably the number one ingredient for proper brain function is water. Since your brain is 80% water it is imperative that one keeps themselves and their brain hydrated. Even a slightly dehydrated brain can raise the stress hormone in a person causing them to not have clarity of thought. Just observe people living in the desert in to summertime and see the stressful actions of people and one can see how dehydrated people are stressed.
There are also foods to avoid and foods that can actually slow down the brain function. Food which are high in sugar and simple carbohydrates which can give you an instantaneous surge of energy but then leave you in an daze.
It is also recommend not to consume food high is saturated fats. Sure your body needs fats, but it needs the good fats found in avocados, nuts and fish.
Also avoid eating heavy meals. It has been proven that reducing your calories will extend your life and the quality of you life. It is also a benefit for your brain function. The digestion process takes a lot of energy which in turn take the energy away from your brain functions.
So as you can see there is a brain food recipe. By eating the correct foods you can actually protect your brain and keep it healthy. You can also provide the added substances the brain needs to improve your memory, mood and the speed in which your brain functions.

I never really had a recipe for anything, just took whatever I made for dinner and put it in the food processor. You can add a bit of water to it to make it smoother. When you cook the food keep the seasonings to a minimum or don't use them at all.

25 Things About Me (I've Been Tagged)
Image by DQmountaingirl
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose people to be tagged.
1. I love live outdoor music. Weekend music festivals (especially bluegrass) are heaven to me. Camping at the festival etc... love it. I love RockyGrass and Telluride Music Festival, although I haven't gone to either since I've become a mommy.
2. Sometimes I dream about things before they happen. The trick is filtering out what is just a dream and what is a "premonition".
3. I hold on to friendships dearly. I would rather have a few REALLY GOOD friends than a lot of social friends. If I call you my friend, I will love you for life, unless you betray my friendship.
4. I love meeting my grown-up preschool kids and seeing the two year old that is still in them. It is beautiful.
5. I would love to quit working for the next four years (or so). I would love to be a "soccer mom", but can't because I'm working so *!$ * much.
6. I adopted both of my children from foster care, am an advocate for foster parenting and adoption. Even though both of my children were adopted, I firmly believe we were meant to be a family... it was in the stars.I'm still a respite care foster parent, and firmly believe every social worker should have a foster placement in their own homes for at least a week before they place a child in mine.
7. I love wooden roller coasters. It reminds me of downhill ski racing.
8. I love to play games with people (board games and card games I mean), because it lets me get into their minds and see how they think. Pictionary is especially good for this.
9. I love to go to garage sales on Saturday mornings with my Mom in the summer.
10. I love food when it's made from scratch. Especially anything from Antares.
11. I live for traditions: Waffle Sunday, Potluck Night Wednesdays, Friday Night Bar-B-Que...etc. Any fun activity with friends or family that happens on a regular basis that I can count on. I'm sad when they end.
12. I'm interested in learning more about Waldorf Schools, would love to go train with Reggio Emilio schools in Italy, would love to become certified in Montessori. And, although I feel like I need to work with the school district to have summers off, I would love to figure out a way to do that at the preschool level.
13. Taking art classes in college really taught me how to SEE things. I didn't really see the beauty in the world before...
14. I love social history. I love art history.
15. I love to read books that have happy endings and take me to different worlds... fantasy books (with wizards and stuff) are a lot of fun for this reason.
16. I love that my kids are finally old enough to go on decent "doggie walks".
17. We've been a foster family for pregnant animals from the Humane Society. It's a great, responsible way for your kids to experience birth and baby animals, which is something everyone should experience...
18. I would love to buy a spruced up Westfalia on EBAY and fly out with my kids to get it and then spend six months driving it home. But wait, what would we do with Jenny Dog?
19. I really want to go to the Sand Dunes NM, I've never been. Or the white sand dunes in New Mexico... another reason to have a Westfalia...
20. I wish my kids saw their cousins more. They are such a great group of kids.
21. I'm so excited that my sister is a Mom, and it's so fun to share it with her...
22. I really want to have my own chickens.
23. There were a few years that I vowed to be outside enjoying every sunset and I did... being outside in nature is my religion.
24. I loved eating churros and drinking hot chocolate in Spain, it was like drinking liquid chocolate pudding. I've tried unsuccessfully to recreate it. If you have a good hot chocolate recipe, send it my way. I wish I had taken a few art history classes before I went.
25. I feel so lucky that I had so many freedoms as a child... something that my children don't have. I spent days skiing the Christie lifts all by myself (and my friend libby) before kindergarten. We spent the summer basically alone together in California when we were 15/16... we were so free!

I have discovered a diet food recipe plan that has its stock in the way food tastes. To be truthful, I cannot stand bland, tasteless food. It should be a crime to serve tasteless food. This diet plan that I found draws heavily on the stimulating Mediterranean type of food.
I like this kind of food. It is really tasty but I find that I get a lot of gas with this type of food. Mediterranean food focuses more on taste and appearance rather than calorie consciousness.
Fresh vegetables, olive oils, wines, lean meats and nuts are some of the ingredients that find their way into this particular dieting plan. Actually, nuts and oils are a rare find in any diet plan of today.
Your food must be tasty, if not, under this plan, it is rejected outright. Saturated fats, white flour and too much sugar are just plain bad for the human body, and they also are not accepted.
Is it your desire to lose weight quickly? Personally I do not go that way. I dislike quick fixes. I figure that it took me a long time to put these pounds on. It is probably going to take me a long time to take them off. But, whatever rocks your boat. Everyone is different.
The first ten days of the plan is devoted to quick weight loss. Clients are also encouraged to wean themselves off sugar and white flour.
During this time period you can tuck into things like tomatoes, greens, onions, whole wheat products, low fat cheeses and here is where the olive oil comes in. You are also encouraged to consume natural foods as well.
Two other phases are incorporated into the picture. I like the second one which focuses on weight loss and the third zeroes in on weight maintenance. Portion control is discussed and additional food choices are taken on board. Oddly enough exercise is not a biggie with this plan. Maybe that is why it does so well.
Unfortunately, this type of plan fits right in with the sedentary lifestyle. This is not good. Balance is important in any weight loss plan. The heart needs conditioning. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in America.
We need to condition ourselves through physical activity. Any plan that does not include proper physical activity is not a heart smart weight loss plan.
This diet food recipe plan helps you avoid trans fats which are a big no no! As a matter of fact, people who are not concerned with losing weight are drawn to this plan. The reason for this is because of the tasty recipes and food quality.
You only have one body. It is up to you to take proper care of it. Make the best choices for your body. Grab this exclusive ebook. And remember, if you destroy your body with bad food choices, where else would you live? Go check this link now: http://www.clefinfodesigns.com/cb&wtl
