PSA
Sorry, guys. Have literally just come back from the hospital I'd been stuck at since Monday morning. I'm more or less fine now, but I still have a billionty things to start/finish and deadlines to meet, both from my stay and the weekend before, so it'll be a while before I begin to play catch-up instead. Please just text me if there's something ( Read more... ) -
Daring Cooks: Souffle (November 2010)
Possibly the most terrifying challenge ever, methinks. I was freaking out on Twitter the day the challenge was released. The souffle. The souffle. Cue much panic on my part. It didn't help that I don't own an electric mixer of any sort, and would as such have to whisk any egg whites by hand.
Somehow, I ended up doing two kinds of souffles, both of ( Read more... ) -
i take no responsibility for this.
In fact, I blame this entirely on kimboosan.
There I was innocently remarking on Twitter how much this picture of Sam and Dean (taken from here) reminded me of a trashy m/m romance cover.
She had to wonder if the m/m equivalent of a 'bodice ripper' was a 'codpiece yanker'.
And so, here you have it:

epic The Fat Duck eating adventure is epic indeed.
As some of the f-list probably already know, yesterday found me lunching at Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck. I'm still a bit stunned that I have actually (and finally!) eaten there (3 Michelin stars, best restaurant in the UK, currently the third best in the world etc), but ah well. Exciting eating experiences, hurrah!

a special thank you, and cookies
A little belated, but I really wish to say a massive, massive thank you to all the wonderful, wonderful people who wished me a happy birthday over the weekend just gone. Thank you for your wishes on LJ, FB, Twitter, by e-mail, over the phone, in person; for your wonderful presents; and for being the fantastic people I know you guys are ( Read more... ) -
Daring Cooks: Pierogi (August 2010)
Another Daring Cooks post, hurrah. Which I appear to be doing once every two months now, instead of monthly. Ah well. *headdesk*
Anyway! This month's was pierogi. I'd never heard of pierogi before prior to this challenge, and was as such rather eager to try my hand at it.

two things to do with taro
Or yam, if you're Singaporean. The different uses of the term 'yam' confuzzle me. Just so we're clear - THIS is what I mean by taro/yam.
For Celeste, who wanted the recipes. I'm so sorry I kept forgetting, hon. I'll try to get the cupcake pictures done over the next few days.

opinion needed!
Making this a quick one, because I kinda need to make a decision of sorts in about 7 hours.
Poll cameras!
And to those who answered the dSLR question - why?
The general impression I get is that Nikons have better amateur lenses (18-200mm VR, anyone?), and personally, I like their chunkier bodies, because I like my cameras chunky, even if it makes it a pain to ( Read more... )
