I grew up with Popeye on TV, though in our house, admittedly, it was in black & white. Popeye got his strength from spinach and I suspect there’s an entire generation of children who grew up associating spinach with strength and Popeye. (Of course my entire image of Popeye was ruined by Mad Comic, but [...]
Pita With Chicken
The recipes provided by Tesco Diets are pretty good and varied, but I’ve ended up reworking quite a few of them. Either because I didn’t quite have all the ingredients (finding ricotta in Tesco proved impossible, though SuperQuinn did have it) or I needed to finish off an open pack of something.

Body Mass Index
Weight by itself is completely meaningless. You have to put it into the context of a person’s height and build. Body Mass Index (BMI) is probably the most common way of calculating this using a mathematical formula. It’s not a new formula, as a bit of research revealed. It’s been around since the 19th century [...]
