Last post was all about powerful advertising … this one is about funny advertising.
Its the kinda thing I’d pretty much like to pass onto all my friends. When an ad makes you laugh and want to pass it on its gone viral (though obviously thats just my opinion and I don’t yet know its reach)
THE SPOILER .. don’t read before watching
Its semi taking two classic stereotypes and dumping them into the one ad. For me its pretty much the reaction I’ve had from women regarding large closet space. Its also the kinda reaction I’ve had before when I told people I had a beer...

Every so often an advert comes along that just blows your mind. That just happened for me.
Ronan Palliser posted a link (RT’d) on twitter to the following video
All I can really say is wow .. much more effective than a lot of the blood and guts ones that have become so popular. At least for...

So this isn’t a carbonara as such (note the lack of egg) but to me it is sort of
This is a nice quick dish and the Ingredients for it are pretty basic
Onions (I used shallots once again .. softer flavour)
Pancetta (Bacon / cured ham of some sort you could chop up a couple of rashers if you wanted)

Pasta (ideally you’d use tagliatelle in this case I used fusilli)
Steps:

OK now that the title got your attention no they aren’t free they are pay what you want its up to you (you can even gift it to someone).
These are a number of great games from some Indie developers (one of my favourite being World of Goo from 2dboy.com) I picked up World of Goo before actually and the graphics are beautiful the concept brilliant (connect balls of goo to reach a pipe so you can go to the next level … but its goo so its bendy.

So this is yet again another pretty quick and easy one to make. Its also probably not the best for you in terms of the amount of butter I put into it.
So it is Ciabatta with tomato,onion, ham and cheese .. you could grill or oven cook this depending on what you want to do
Ingredients you’ll need
I like to use vine cherry tomatoes they’ve got better flavour
I like ciabatta though I’ve used a baguette for this in the past as well
Red onion is a subtler flavour and less likely to repeat … this time I used some shallots
Butter .. this requires a good chunk depends on the amount of...
