Cheating, and eating like a pig - Vegan Food
Reassuringly, many of the things I already liked are in fact vegan. For instance, chocolate. No, not the milky, fudgy crap you find in dairy-milk bars. I mean proper, bitter stuff, that releases a thousand flavours of various depths as it melts in your mouth. I like to have it with black coffee and fresh oranges.
You know what else is vegan? Crisps ( Read more... ) -
Vegan Food - To Crime!
I was talking (smugly) to a friend about eating vegan food, and how easy it was. La la la, I said, it's going so well. She responded very sensibly by threatening to come to my house and eat bacon in front of me, which would be revenge for the time I came over to her house for dinner to comfort her after she'd just been burgled, and toasted to crime ( Read more... ) -

An actual Christmas epiphany. And some threatened violence towards a very annoying man at a wedding.
This Christmas, I was sitting with my wife and her mother, and we were forcing food into ourselves. We’d eaten a lot of turkey, and still had to get through all the cheese we’d bought. After spending weeks yearning for chipolatas wrapped in bacon we found them to be an encumbrance to well-being and happiness. The tree was twinkling and the fire was ( Read more... ) -

So, I haven't been around for a while. This lj has pretty much been Lizzie's. Someone recently made me realise that I'm very quiet. I basically have no online presence, and maybe it's because I think deep down that I don't have a huge amount of interesting stuff to say. It might just be that I've been busy. Oh, I don't know. Anyway, it means that ( Read more... ) -
