April 25, 2005The Muntjak DeerAs I said, I'm too busy to cook these days. But needs must, so I defrosted what we had bought on the farmers' market last weekend (in addition to another pig's head): a Muntjak deer haunch and a packet of...Read this update April 24, 2005Blogging breakLooks like I'm not going to post here for a while. I'm currently caught up with other projects and travel isn't one of them. I haven't been on the boards for ages, nor followed my favourite bloggers (and, gosh, there...Read this update April 18, 2005Wild garlic & nettle soupThe season of bounty is here again! I remember back in Scotland we used to pick handfuls of sorrel and large bundles of wild garlic.

And occasionally it is something that, in one way...Read this update April 11, 2005Mutton with stuffed vine leavesFor the past month or so I had a big chunk of shoulder from a hogget (young mutton) in the freezer; bought at the last Basingstoke Farmers' Market and kept in anticipation for my sister's Easter visit. Alas, she never...Read this update April 10, 2005We're in the money!John's inheritance money has arrived! While most of it will be invested (and some is sadly needed to make up the shortfall resulting from John's artificially low salary this year), he has promised me the funds to go on a...Read this update April 05, 2005Open Access BiologyIt looks like the Open Access movement is winning. Slowly but surely. —Finally! A lot of (former) students will have shared the frustration of not finding an important article in the library. In my postgrad years, I have spent a...Read this update April 04, 2005The Future RevisitedIn the 'summations' at the start of his annual 'best of' SF anthologies, the editor Gardner Dozois repeatedly comments that many critics, readers and even writers lament the 'death of SF' (he then goes on to show them how wrong...Read this update |
