Why I Love My Espreso Machine
For a few years now, I have been making a stop on my way to work to get myself a morning treat; a cup of latte with an extra espresso shot. I truly enjoy the kick of the caffine and feel like I need it to function during the day.
It wasn’t until my husband was laid off and we had to really watch our expenses that I realized how much money those morning lattes cost me when added up. So when my parents gave me a DeLonghi EC702 for christmas, it was the best gift possible. Now I can still have my morning coffee fix, without spening the money at the coffee shop.
The machine produces great coffee, and even now that me and my husband is back on our feet, I wouldn’t want to go back to the bland lattes of the coffee shop. Sometimes bad times brings something good!

The Crazy Quirks of Being Pregnant
There are so many crazy things that happen to a woman when she becomes pregnant. Besides the heartburn and constant upset stomach there are some good things about being pregnant. Your nails begin to grow and the need for manicures is very minimal. Your hair begins to shine without using expensive shampoos and conditioners. The best part is the smell of organic coffee beans and cheesecake or at least that was my pregnancy craving for nine months. You can enjoy splurging a little on calories and shrug it off as part of the baby needing the extra food to grow. You do have to watch things a little as instead of drinking caffeinated coffee you switch to decaf but this is by not bad at all. Being pregnant does not have to be all bad like people make it out to be. You can get away with things you otherwise couldn’t. Enjoy the nine months, afterwards you will spend days and nights changing diapers and cleaning baby spit up.
Elements of a Santoku
The contemporary versions of the ultra-versatile and world-famous Japanese Knife called the Santoku come in lengths ranging from 5-8 inches. The dull part of the knife is flat, while the sharpened edge is shaped like a sheep’s foot, resulting in a curved, near 60 degree tip. The top part of the handle aligns with the top part of the blade.
The sheep’s foot tip makes for a straight blade and this is different from Western style Chef’s knives, which are designed to be rocked to chop vegetables. The Japanese way to chop does not involve rocking, but instead you bring the knife above the ingredient being chopped, then bring the knife straight down on top of the ingredient.
Santoku knives are world-famous for being the most versatile knives one can buy. Another great benefit of the Santoku is that it is the most well-balanced of all of the Japanese knives. Because of these reasons your Santoku will prove itself an vital asset in any kitchen.
Against the Grain: Easily My Favourite Bar at the Moment
What’s my favourite bar? A very easy question to answer! I got pretty bored with most bars a few years back. After seeing bar after bar offering the same décor, people and worst of all, the same beers (and even same placemats for goodness sakes!), I knew I needed a new alternative. When I saw Against the Grain open its doors, I knew I was in luck. This bar stocks a huge range of actually interesting craft beers, ciders and whiskeys. This is a bar that provides service to people who actually like beer, rather than just drinking to get drunk. Even the guys who work behind the bar share an enthusiasm for beer that matches that of their clients. Fancy trying something new? Ask for a recommendation behind the bar and maybe you’ll find a fantastic new beer or whiskey you’ve never even heard of before! This pub will fix the drinking habits of pretty much anyone who goes in.
The Language of Herbs
I am doing research on special meanings associated with plants and flowers, and found interesting information on a website supplying bulk herbs. This commercial site offering these products for sale also provides links to articles on herbs themselves. Herbs can symbolize emotions and feelings and can convey a message of love or dislike. The language of herbs is tied to traditions, superstitions, culture and religion. Basil is the Greek name for king. Young Italian girls would traditionally put a pot of basil on their window sill to encourage prospective suitors. Wreaths of bay leaves symbolize victory. Rosemary and parsley are said to thrive in households where the woman is the boss. As we know from Shakespeare, rosemary is for remembrance and was carried at country funerals or woven into wreaths. Chervil represents new life and rebirth and was used during the Christian Lent and Easter. Check the internet for more information on these plants that add special flavors to our foods.
