Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: None

...Last night I was cleaning my CD rack and I tried to rearrange my CD's. I noticed this 52nd Street album of Billy Joel. I realized that I haven't played it for such a long time. As this album is one of my favorites, I played it and I was again mesmerized by most of the songs. Tracks Listing 1. Big Shot 4:05 2. Honesty 3:53 3. My Life 4:44 4. Zanzibar 5:10 5. Stiletto 4;44 6. Rosalinda's Eyes 4:40 7. Half A Mile 4:09 8. Until The Night 6:36 9. 52nd Street 2:26 About Each Track Big Shot Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you?

...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.

(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.

The glass is thick the edges moulded to prevent them getting chipped... Read review
