my mum accidentally calling this the motorcycle diaries lol nigel slater, the middle classes che guevara

yep. tho get to sit at home and watch films. revolutionary road is shit tho i just found out.

4 hours sounds fine to me. filtering through muslin is good. i think yeah you need lots of bones - with some bones you roast them before doing the stock as this maximises it apparently. bay, onions, carrot, celery. i've made a nice spiced noodle broth with duck - noodles, veg, soy, sesame oil...

Thanks very much for that! Super detailed, I'll have a read/think and have to report back...:D except i'm not going to leeds cos i've broken my arm, darn...!

carrot jam is very nice

No Shacklewell either

In what sense complex though? i do like it with horseradish in.

i've been recently getting into them a bit, i mean i love beer, ale would be my desert island drink but sometimes you do want something a bit different. bloody marys are absolutely brilliant when done properly and don't need a big investment Manhattans are nice and not too complex - 5 parts...

not full on magic realism but little splashes of things seeming deliberately off kilter, odd, dreamlike, hazy. Some of the acting was very stagey and not striving for realism. lots of lush details and textures. dominated by two characters who form an almost god/devil binary and seem to crop up...

The Rio in Dalston had a showing last Sunday...just a one off I'm afraid! I think we these long films you kind of need to see them in a cinema so you don't get distracted and wander off.. Did the BFI not have it at all?

mysteries of lisbon - rual ruiz beautiful, complexly plotted, 4.5 hr long but you can just fully sit back and let it flow over you...

overegging the pudding was key for me terrible scene at end breaking down and weeping the rain suicide attempt was trite - easy way to slap on some emotional weight without deserving it through narrative or character development despicably cheesy piano music. basically loads of stuff that...

Thanks - don't go out your way or anything tho :)

yeah i actually do like pizza express, was just the first thing that came to mind as a generic work food thing whilst travelling with colleagues, but this time i'll probs be on my own so can bosh out some sichuan or something :p most pizza is pretty wicked come to think of it

bit of a tangent but any tips for eating in leeds centre? up there for work in a couple of weeks so guess they'll cover 15 quid or so, want to avoid just wondering around lost and going into a pizza express... ta

wikipedia said that all the spin offs were pretty terrible, bit of a shame but no unexpected. i have just finished the original trilogy and thought they were pretty great, the end of the third one is amazing, all this metaphysical type stuff and very anti-swashbuckling..cool.

A wizard of earthsea - Ursula le Guin Cool 70s fantasy (i guess for both kids and adults) more about the responsibility wizards have to use thier power properly, inner darkness that lies within us, the naming of things names/realities etc than big fights etc.

can't comment on phd but as a place yes just go for it. as long as you've got mates and dissensus for your cultural/dining tips you're good to go!
