44 Reasons to Support Israel
Posted by Tommy in Uncategorized on 10 23rd, 2008| icon3No Comments »

With the Presidential election just around the corner, we’ve been hearing a lot about America’s undying love of Israel. And while we’re sure nothing’s going to change there, no matter who wins the election, we thought it wise to go back and review the issue in the best way we know how - by checking out all the super sexy girls of the Israel Defense Forces.

The Jewish tradition has produced some of the hottest chicks of Hollywood, and a country with such an amazing array of hotness as this one deserves all the support it can get. Plus, there’s just something about a beautiful girl with a machine gun that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Instant chocolate mousse
Posted by Tommy in Food on 10 5th, 2008| icon31 Comment »

Normally, you need to make chocolate mousse a good few hours, or better still a day, before you want to eat it, so that the egg yolk sets and the whisked whites permeate everything with air bubbles. Forget that: here we have no yolks, no whites, no whisking, no waiting. Lack of raw egg, incidentally, also means that you might be happier giving this mousse to small children, though I certainly feel they shouldn’t be the only beneficiaries.

Serves 4-6

150g mini marshmallows

50g soft butter

250g good dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), chopped into small pieces

60ml hot water from a recently boiled kettle

1 x 284ml tub double cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in a heavy-based saucepan.

2 Put the saucepan on the hob, over heat, though keep it fairly gentle, to melt the contents, stirring every now and again. Remove from the heat.

3 Meanwhile, whip the cream with the vanilla extract until thick, and then fold into the cooling chocolate mixture until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture.

4 Pour or scrape into four glasses or ramekins, about 175ml each in capacity, or six smaller (125ml) ones, and chill until you want to eat. The sooner, the better!

London’s Heathrow is located 32 km (20 miles) west of Central London, and it is well served by transport links.

There is a shuttle service between Heathrow airport and Hotels in Central London. The service is named national express dot2dot, and runs between Heathrow airport and Canary Wharf, in London city center, close to the Tower of London. The price is £22 per person, one way, from the airport, and two or more people may have a discount on tickets. You may get info at the national express dod2dot website, which is simply named dot2.com. If you want save a few pounds you may choose the Heathrow Express, a train that runs from 5 am to 12 pm, and the ticket price is £15.50 if you buy the ticket at the airport, or £17.50 if you buy the ticket on the train. There are two train stations serving the airport, one is Heathrow Central that serves terminals 1 to 4, and the other that serves terminal 4.

Just visit heathrowexpress.com for further info.

There are also coaches between Heathrow’s central bus station and Victoria Coach Station in Central London, not far from The Victoria trains station. The journey lasts from 40 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on traffic condition and on one of the routes the bus runs. Single tickets start at £4, and the service is available between 5.30 in the morning to 9.30 in the late evening. Moreover you may find useful info at nationalexpress.com, that I suggest to you to browse. I’d recommend you to book your seat in advance, especially during weekends or at rush time, when there is a lot of people traveling from the airport to London city center as well as traveling around Central London itself. Considering allow plenty of time to reach the airport two hours before you do the check in, and this in case of road delays that may occurs due the traffic in London city center, and in the immediate surroundings.

You may also catch the Tube to reach London city center from the airport, by traveling on the Piccadilly line (blue line). Traveling on the Tube is less comfortable than traveling by coach and takes a lot longer, but it is quite cheaper, and it is recommended for adults traveling alone, that could save a lot of money respect to a black cab or a mini-cab. If you are going to catch this public transport I advice you that there are three Tube station serving London’s Heathrow airport: one is serving terminal 1 to 3, another one serving terminal 4 and the last one serving terminal 5. The standard price is £4 at any time, but consider taking a Oyster card online. This peculiar fee is cheaper than the standard fee, in fact the price is £3.50 Monday to Friday from 07.00 to 19.00, and it is just £2.00 at all other time, including public holidays.

So, consider to get an Oyster card by visiting  the London transports website (https://oyster.tfl.gov.uk), where you may open an online account and pay as you go, or elsewhere renew your travel card.

The ones traveling with small children, for example a couple and two o three babies may be advantaged by using a taxi or a mini-cab, instead of a public transport. I suggest you to use a black cab, or a reputable mini-cab service, and never use unauthorized drivers. The price for a black cab from Heathrow to Central London is about £40

There are special feature to give opportunities of easy traveling to passengers using wheelchairs, and exiting at Paddington has been made easier. If traveling with a disabled person, you should plan your journey in advance, because only the newer buses are equipped for wheelchairs.
