This stuff has to be God’s gift to muscular pain, and I’m not quite sure why it hasn’t become popular among angst-ridden teens, because today had to be the best day I’ve had at work in quite a while. Anything could have happened short of a second holocaust and I would have sat there merrily smiling away. This might have something to do with the fact that it contains ibuprofen and codeine, the later of which is derived from opium. I wonder whether they actually tested the potency of this stuff before releasing it on the general public? No drug on this planet should have the power to make my job pleasant … even interesting. It’s wrong, plane wrong I tell you!

I only took two of the suckers this morning at 7am before leaving for work, and while I’m not as bowled over now as I was this morning, I’m still having quite a good afternoon. I must say, Nurofen Plus get’s my stamp of approval. This will definitely be another one for my “Josh Recommends…” category. Click, click, click … there, done. Nurofen Plus, Josh’s non-prescription painkiller of choice…. buy it, because I told you so.

You know what they say, “Can’t beat the real thing.” but if you can’t beat it, you may as well do your darned best to get close to it. That’s what Cadbury have done with their new chocolate block “Triple Decker – now with caramel!” Oh the memories of what once were. This new sensation is a delicate mix of milk chocolate, white chocolate and the once was “Caramilk” chocolate, all stacked together into this new tantalising chocolate indulgence.

It’s not quiet as good as it’s ancestor, but then you can’t beat perfection. I’m sure the budding “Caramilk” connoisseur will nevertheless appreciate the gentle hint of caramel in this delightful new breed.

For those of you who know what I’m talking about, and even for you who don’t, Josh recommends, “Cadbury Triple Decker – now with caramel!”

P.S. The “Caramilk” mentioned above is NOT the same as the “Caramilk” that Cadbury markets in America. The former was a solid milk chocolate in caramel flavour, while the American version is milk chocolate filled with a caramel centre. Cadbury in Australia calls this American version “Caramello”, while the “Caramilk” that we had here was discontinued by Cadbury in the mid to late 90′s.

Tuna melts are a fast easy snack/meal that you can have anytime, and it really satisifies when you’ve got the munchies. Here’s what you need

* Bread.
* 1 x 95 gram tuna tin (these are the small ones)
* Tasty cheese
* A griller for best results.

1. Take two slices of bread and toast until just starting to brown…..pretty simple. Don’t worry about the toast getting cold, it will heat up again at a later on when grilling.

2. Open up can of tuna and spread out equal amounts over the two slices of toast so it covers the whole of each slice.

3. Cut enough tasty cheese to cover the tuna on each slice of toast. What I do is buy the tasty cheese packs that has the cheese slices already cut, you can get them in packs of 25 and 50 from most supermarkets. The good thing about these is that each piece is exactly the right size to cover a whole slice of toast.

4. set griller on high and place underneath for about five minutes, make sure you watch them so it doesn’t burn. When the cheese starts to go beyond that bubbling stage and into the browning stage that’s when they’re safe to take out and server up.

Tada, tuna melts!

Things to keep in mind:

* You can also do this in the microwave, but it’s not quite as good. You’ll have to cook the toast for longer and drain all the moisture out of the tuna so the toast doesn’t go soggy.

* Tuna cans these days come in all sort of flavoures, chilli, tomato and basil, lemon and cracked pepper, thai curry, etc etc. You can create all sorts of different varients of this recipe, and they all taste good.

* Each 95 gram can does two pieces of toast. Want more, obviously multiply accordingly.

* Don’t use chedar cheese singles, it wrecks the experience. Tasty cheese all the way baby!

Tonight on “Josh Recommends…” I thought we’d start out nice and easy with a recipe. We are taking a look at what I like to call “Cheeseburger Toast”. This is a personal creation of mine that I developed in early 2002. The basic ingredients are bread, tomato sauce (ketchup), mild mustard, and cheese singles (the ones wrapped in plastic).

First step is to take the desired amount of bread and chuck it in the toaster. After the toast is done apply generous amounts of tomato sauce and mustard to the toast and spead together with a butter knife. After sauces have been applied add a cheese single on top of the sauces and place in the microwave for approximately 15 seconds per slice of toast. Depending on your microwave’s power you may need to adjust cooking time to suit your needs. In any case, keep an eye on the cheese and when it starts to bubble remove the toast from the microwave. This can also be done under a griller if you don’t have a microwave. Tada, you have Cheeseburger Toast! Cheeseburger Toast is great for a light snack, or if you’re having McDonalds cravings but are too poor to by takeaway food.
