Wasabi sauces?
I love wasabi but paste costs a lot. As mad as it sounds I love it on a portion of boiled rice so was wanting to make it into a sauce. Best way to do this?

Ecoballs - recent reviews please?
I bought some new boxed ecoballs at a charity shop today for £2 but I am having difficulty finding recent reviews. Should I use two at once? Do they work better with coloureds than whites? Maybe some OSers use them regularly? I would be grateful of your feedback so I can get the best use out of them.

My question is - do I need to defrost them before using or can I cook them straight from frozen (and how do I make sure that they're safe to eat)? Thanks!

Tiles in kitchen?
Having finished installing our kitchen, we have one last job which we have been putting off for months as we can't decide. We were intending to get glass splash backs behind the cooker and around under the cupboards, sink etc. Frankly, after paying for everything else, we don't have spare money to pay out more than a grand…
