Advantages: easy to use, small and compact Disadvantages: pain to keep inside clean
This is a handy little item to own! I love to make french fries at home. But making them in a frying pan, they just arent the same. So I got this little personal deep fryer. Soooooo easy it is to make fries... or wings... fried chicken or any small item that needs to be properly deep fried. The machine is small and fits well in a small kitchen. just right for a single person or maybe a couple. It doesnt take as much oil as some of the larger bulkier ...

St Fagos And St Fal
Review of Everything that starts with S ... by

Advantages Useful in polite company Disadvantages No one knows what you mean
...Fagos and Stuff This For A Lark gives us St Fal.
Since I discovered these acronymic brothers I have been a true follower of them both. St Fagos is the patron saint of Useless Pursuits (e.g. stacking and unstacking a dishwasher when it’s so much faster washing up) while St Fal is the patron saint of Those Who Do What They Don’t Want To Do Because They Think They Ought To Even Though They’re Going To Be Bored Rotten (such as visiting the in-laws).

At such times one may invoke St Fagos, as in, “By St Fagos, but that’s a hot curry!” instead of “Bl**dy H*ll my Bl**din’ mouth’s on fire!” or “By the toenails of St Fal, that was a good move!” instead...

Advantages good writing, good story Disadvantages hmm... well, I still don't like the cover!
...are soon swept up in an adventure: the obligatory quest and fight against evil that crops up in most fantasy fiction.
All this we learn in the first book of the series, The Eye of the World, and of course, this isn’t an opinion on that book, so let me move on swiftly.
This isn’t a book you could really read without having read the preceding instalment. Jordan doesn’t bother rehashing prior events, or re-introducing the characters. Personally, I found this quite a relief. I’d only just finished Eye of the World, so I didn’t need or want to go over everything again – something I’ve found annoying in other series.
Picking up where Eye of the World left off, with our little group still at Fal Dara, Jordan plunges us straight into the action. From the sinister prologue to the suspense...
