Pancake Bottle

I love this. Such a cool way of using shousehold tuff instead of throwing it out. I actually have a massive 100% free bottle of ketchup that i got on special offer so either i better have ketchup on everything from now on or i might be ready to try this next pancake Tuesday!

If your quest for the perfectly-shaped, drip-free pancake has lead you down the dark halls of infomercial madness, take note: all it takes is the re-purposing of a condiment squeeze bottle.

This trick would have never worked with the ketchup bottles of yesteryear, no sir. Thankfully, the arms race in the condiments industry to bring you bigger, easier-to-use bottles has crafted the perfect pancake portion tool. Wash out one of those sizable condiment bottles, then refill it with freshly-mixed pancake batter. The huge bottle, coupled with the easy-squeezing goodness, is a great way to deliver pancake batter to a hot griddle with consistent sizing, pour rate, and no drips across the stove top and counters. If you have a similarly crafty culinary trick or two of your own, for breakfast or other meals, sound off in the comments below.

Flash Dance

May 7, 2009

It seems that flash mobs are the thing to do at the moment whether for fun or to promote a brand.

In the latest Improv Everywhere inspired guerrilla action, 100 women form a kind of flash dance action and perform Beyonce’s Single Ladies in the middle of Piccadilly Circus in London. The event was created for Trident and announces their private concert with the singer that you can win tickets to.

Thanks to http://www.onthegroundlookingup.com/ for this one.

Cheers Sam.
