Non-stick power with Pam´s flour

Bakeware can sometimes be a pain in the butt.

Imagine you want to bake a traditional Guglhupf.

Your tin needs to be greased and breadcrumbed in order to prevent the dough from sticking.

But since noone has time nowadays - not even the most bored Hausfrau - chances are high you are stressed and miss some nooks and corners.

Imagine the result: The cake looks fine at first glance, but when you release it from its prison-tin some parts don´t make it - leaving your cake with ugly holes and you at the verge of a nervous breakdown.

What a disaster!

What embarrassment!

You might have swopped to teflon-coated after that experience, but after having heard about the latest Teflon-scare you threw them all in the bin.

Well, thanks to PAM there is no need to worry anymore.

PAM is the knight in shining armour!
Pam in a can provides you with no-stick where you need it most. From now on there are only two things to do with your tin: Spray it & fill it!


PAM eliminates the (utterly time-consuming) two-step process and mess of greasing and flouring pans!

But that´s not all:
Spray your pan with PAM when cooking chicken breasts, pork chops, fish, and more. PAM prevents food from sticking to the pan while providing crispness, browning, and flavor.

And for those who don´t bake and rather bake or broil or grill - PAM will never let you down.

Only the washing up is still the job you might have to do yourself...

The importance of CCTV

My goodness, aren´t we glad to have CCTV cameras in Britannia!
Just imagine a world without CCTV: knifers couldn´t be caught, sex-offenders would still roam the streets unpunished, thieves would rob every single jewellery shop on this Island and your neighbour´s Felis catus would probably end up in the bin.

Wait a second...the cat would end up in the bin? Who would dump a cat in a bin?



Well, apparently there are people out there, so-called "cat-disposers". who actually do bin of our quadrupedal friends. How come? Are they being mind-controlled? Are they animal-haters? Or are they being paid by the government to justify constant surveillance?

You decide!

Miouw.

Lasagne or Sandwich? Why not have both in one?

Italy is famous for its culinary qualities. Pasta, Pizza, Tiramisu, Prosciutto – there is hardly anything that Italy doesn´t have to offer and only gourmands will restrain from endulging themselves in Italian goodies.

Britannia is just as famous for its cuisine extravaganza – unfortunately in the opposite direction. That´s why Italian Chefs will go to Heaven and Britain´s will go to Hell. Or, to be more fair – they had a small chance going to Heaven (thanks to innovative chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay ), but a big supermarket chain has managed to digg their own grave.

Blame it on Tesco, one of Britain´s leading supermarket chains. They now offer a so-called Lasagne Sandwich. Yes, you heard right, there is no mistake in the spelling.

One has to say, it is definitely handy for those who cannot make up their mind – whether to have a proper warm meal or just a sandwich that is. So why not just have 2-in-1?

If there is anyone out there who actually volunteers to try this muck – please help yourself and report back to me.

Bon appétit!

Ouch!!! Park Bench w/Steel Spikes

In Yantai Park in eastern China, a park bench has been fitted with steel spikes on a coin-operated timer, as a way to discourage people from sitting on the bench too long. If they don't feed the meter, spikes shoot through the seat causing discomfort but not damage. Parks in China are overcrowded on weekends, and officials believe this will encourage visitors to share the facilities.

Park bosses got the idea from an art installation in Germany where sculptor Fabian Brunsing created a similar bench as a protest against the commercialisation of modern life.

"He thought he was exaggerating. He didn't foresee that a very practical country like China might actually use them for real," said one critic.

Parks in China suffer from chronic overcrowding at weekends when millions of people try to escape the country's teeming cities.

"We have to make sure the facilities are shared out evenly and this seems like a fair way to stop people grabbing a bench at dawn and staying there all day," said one park official.

Hans Söllner

Bavarian sing-songwriter Hans Söllner is notorious for his political rebelliousness and well-known for his reggae-inflected folk music style. His popularity is arguably greater in Austria than in his native Germany, where his public image is tarnished in the eyes of the government. Söllner's wide-ranging and sometimes heavy-handed political criticism, not to mention his public embrace of marijuana, made him the subject of increasingly costly fines, to such a degree that he views himself as the victim of state-sponsored repression.

Musically, Söllner is first and foremost a live performer -- many of his albums are in fact live recordings -- and this is a major aspect of his appeal, for he prefers to tour and perform live in-person rather than work with a major label and communicate with his audience via studio-recorded albums. In later years, he toured frequently with the Austrian reggae band Bayaman'Sissdem.




He has recently given an interview wich you can read here.
