Flute and Harp Recital

Advantages: good coverage, nice colour
Disadvantages: messy

...Introduction: Myself and the boyfriend were on one of our regular trips to Tescos this evening when I found myself wandering down the hair dye isle. Noticing that recital preference was on offer (2 for £10) I suddenly decided "I want to dye my hair!". The boyfriend looked at me disapprovingly, then said, "What Colour?" "...I don't know" I replied, "Maybe dark brown?" "How about red?" He suggested... Now I'm not a big risk taker but "You'll look very sexy as a redhead" he said with a cheeky wink... and that swerved it for me. Plus it was 2 for £10, if I didn't like the red I could go back to safe and normal brown. Marvellous.

Advantages: Beautifully written. Engaging. Enlightening. Thought provoking. Universal appeal.

...Chaim Potok is one of my very favourite authors. His books tend to become 'friends'. This novel is no different. Davita is a little Jewish girl, living in New York in the 1930s.

...The Pyrex dish that I am talking about today is the fluted flan. This is a circular flan dish it has a diameter of 26cm. Most households own some Pyrex dish I have several some with thanks to my mum as I had all her Pyrex dishes after she died. Pyrex is so good it lasts a long time. Has a 10 year gaurente. (mine are older) Pyrex is suitable for the freeze, oven up to 300c, fine in the dish washer. It is very tough does not stain, washes well. Pyrex is made of a toughened glass developed from the glass used in light bulbs. Pyrex has been produced since 1915 if you are interested in the history go to http://www.pyrexware.com This pyrex fluted flan dish has fluted sides making it attractive to serve in or make the sides of the flan you are baking attractive. The glass is thick the edges moulded to prevent them getting chipped... Read review
