you can make quite nice fresh cheese by straining milk in muslin with lemon to curdle it if i remember correctly. breaks down into a lovely pasta sauce with olive oil, chilli, garlic etc.

Anyone listening to TMS? I hate Michael Vaughan on there, he's obviously thinks he funny and a bit of legend but his bonhomie is annoying and his insights minimal.

Yeah it's quite good having people do a bit of research for you. I'm getting some pork belly asap and going to make panchetta so I'll post some pics when it's done, needs a week dry cure in the fridge then two weeks drying in the air.

I love this place!! Their DaPanJi (Big plate chicken) is sensational, one of the nicest things I've ever eaten...

It's dire! I've been on a groupon thing and it was really bad - slightly raw potatoes and main dishes that weren't like mains at all, just a few things chucked on top of each other. This may have been cos they were overwhelmed by groupon but it was a poor show either way.

Gourmet San in the bomb, lamb skewers, the pork and turnip dish with noodles is amazing, and beef slices in spicy oil also...yum.

Oh my god! Why are so many sci fi covers so fucking terrible! My other half keeps looking at what I'm reading and giving me pitying looks cos there's so terrible 80s spaceship on the cover and I'm like, 'no it's an amazing honest'. The order ULG wrote them in is not the order the books are set...

I just finished the Left Hand of Darkness and IMO Dispossessed is definitely better. Some of the same themes but more subtly developed etc. The arctic trek in LHOD was amazing though. Got 'The Word for World is Forest' in the post for next..!

I'm obsessed with Ursula le Guin books at the mo. The Dispossessed is amazing, one of the best fiction book I've read in last couple of years..

My last go came out like this, it's not that red at all. onion, carrot and celery beef mince, chicken livers and bacon in a ratio of 3:1:1 thyme and oregano tin of tomatoes large glass wine and same of whole milk olive oil

Anchor and Hope on the cut is gorgeous food but very busy and no reservations. One of the OG gastropubs. Bull and Last in Kentish Town is nice Drapers Arms in Barnsbury is nice too.

Not been but supposed to be good. Very rammed I fear. On a similar tip more easterly is Dukes Brew and Cue. Super selection of beers and nice barbecue ribs etc.

It's nice yeah, not cheap tho. I had an excellent hare ragu there. Good for special occasion, lovely atmosphere in there, not too formal but still a bit classy.

I saw Chris Petit at a talk with IS and they were reminiscing/bitching about how they used to get commissioned to make docs by the BBC but it didn't happen any more. Not hugely interesting but ok. Then I watched Petit's film Radio On which I found extremely boring. Have you read Patrick...

interesting - i'll check this out. I too have tried the chicken livers thing (also in lasagne) and thought it was nice. When I was researching what was the best recipe lots ask for cooking times of 2 - 3 hours and lots have milk in. When i had this in Bologna it had almost no tomatoes in...

So what's new?

How about Mustafa Kunt? Parasol unit presents moving image works exploring ‘line’ from the 1970’s to the present day. Part one investigates geographical and political borders and boundaries, works include Francis Alÿs’ Painting/Retoque, 2008; Mona Hatoum’s Measures of Distance, 1988; On the...

I'm working my way through a Tarkovsky box set and filling the gaps on ones I haven't seen. There seems to be a reverse quality gradient with time IMO, so first two (Ivans Childhood and Andrei Rublev) are really good (not exactly fast paced but stunningly beautiful), next two are quite good...

Think i've seen this guy, maybe a different eccentric, came around the tube when i was with my sister and said 'Brother look after your sister Sister look after your brother Blessings' or something similar and walked on...cool guy
