When I think of dieting food boring salads, boiled vegetables and banned sweets come to mind. Worse still, has anyone seen the 1974 recipe cards of Weight Watchers? Hah, now you have. It got just too lonely getting scarred for life viewing these grotesque food pictures that I had to drag you along. What happened [...]

Warning: This drink will cause severe giggling fits even if the joke told wasn’t so funny. In extreme cases there was no joke. Your cheeks will turn a vivid red as if you put on too much blush, or in the case of men stole Ronald McDonald’s stash of red makeup paint. Lastly, expect to [...]

A very green soup indeed. Sometimes it is difficult to get your 5-a-day, but this soup really helps in this regard, not to mention all the fibre it contains. It seems like an unlikely combination but once you try it you’ll appreciate the verdant and robust taste of the broccoli, the sweetness of the peas [...]
