REVIEW: Baseball — America’s Favorite Pastime

It was the bottom of the ninth, and the Yankees were behind but with a bit of luck they could still take it out. Hope floated about the stadium as the crowds held their breath. I was just happy to have learnt what ‘bottom of the ninth’ meant.

Where I come from baseball isn’t all that popular, so being in America I figured it was time to get amongst the game known affectionately as America’s favourite pastime.

In our own test, we put the New York Yankees at the massive Yankee Stadium in New York up against the Boston Red Sox at their beloved home of Fenway Park in Boston. Here’s how the stadiums and ballgames played out.

REVIEW: The Broadway Experience – A Tale of Addiction

I had been in New York City for two months, exploring the sites and living the dream, but something vital was missing.

However, just because the term ‘tomato sauce’ is thrown around so casually doesn’t mean that there isn’t diversity in the types of tomato sauce out there.

I’ve decided to take a closer look at the shelves of our supermarkets to give you a better idea of the diversity within the tomato sauce family, and how to tell them apart.

I was recently attacked in my home, and had the chance to put my cautionary canister of Raid Fly & Insect Killer (Fast Kill) to the test. I invite you to read my true story of home invasion so you can make sure you and your family are as safe as you think.

FOOD REVIEW: Steve’s Takeaways

So many times I have come home to discover that my fridge is empty, and I have nothing for dinner. I slam the door, shouting, “Damn you, refrigerator! Why must you betray me time and time again!?” Then I’m slumping, knees to the floor, defeated. However, when my fridge turns its back on me, I know there is always someone I can count on. That man is Steve.
