Kenwood Hand Blender Keeps the Cocktails Flowing

Last Friday I had some of my colleague over to my flat for a few cocktails. Having a rough week at work, everyone came over to my place rather than the pub. A few people brought bottled wine, but the main attraction was my hand blended fruit cocktails. My fruit cocktails are made with fresh berries and other fruits instead of the synthetic fruit syrups from the market. What I do is use a large stainless steel cocktail shaker base and fill it with the berries and the liquor. Using a hand blender, I chop the berries and mix the drink together. My Kenwood hand blender has two speeds so I make sure to use the highest speed to puree the berries to get it really mixed well

The Importance of Family Meals

Do you remember the times when it was common for the whole family to sit together for a family meal? We had big Sunday lunches and my mum would prepare magical meals for us. I fondly remember that time and the importance of sitting together. My siblings and I enjoyed this time because we got a chance to chat with our parents and behave like adults. We sat in our big Oak dining table chairs and enjoyed each others company. My mum still has our dining room set and once or twice a year, when we all get together, we still sit on our assigned places. Some things just never change. Having meals together was important throughout the week

Morning perk-you-up appliances

Mornings in the winter are the worst. You wake up dead tired as if you ve only taken a nap. Bleary eyed, you pull on some trousers and stumble out the door for another mind numbing day at the office. If you re looking for that get-up-and-go to kick-start your mornings, maybe a cup of coffee would help. There are Starbucks stores everywhere and yes you can pick up a tin of that instant coffee, but the coffee experience is best enjoyed at home, in the wee quiet hours with a warm cup and a slowly clearing mind.

If you re fond of the caf experience but dislike the bustle of crowds just rushing in for their fix, I d recommend investing in a Dualit espressivo coffee machine
