Czech Republic Comfort Food: Chestnut Cake With Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting

I LOVE chestnuts. Brussels sprouts and chestnuts is a favorite winter mix. Maybe I should make the creamed Brussels sprouts dish and follow it up with the chestnut cake for dessert?

Czech Republic Comfort Food: Creamed Brussels Sprouts

Oh my giddy aunt. I have died and gone to heaven. CREAMED. BRUSSELS. SPROUTS. with cheese. Om nom nom nom. What is not to like? (Apart from that fact that my husband's digestion doesn't like them, even if the rest of him does...)

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo

The main thing which irritated me about Squidoo was its insistence on constantly updating pages. Um. No. I'll update them if I see a spellie or have new information to impart. Otherwise you end up like Bubblews was in its early days, with the ...

Environmental Chefs Will Love This Compost Stew ABC Recipe Book

Of course you are charming :-) I use compost for food plants and it is my personal preference not to introduce human nor animal bacterial issues.

Environmental Chefs Will Love This Compost Stew ABC Recipe Book

I do put fingernails in... I sound charming, don't I? But nothing animal, it (apparently) attracts rats. And we have a big enough problem with them in London as it is.

30th Anniversary of The Waterboys: This is the Sea

I took awhile to come round to The Waterboys, but I adore The Whole of the Moon and really need to see whether my copy of the CD survived several house moves. My feelings about The Waterboys are akin to those about Crowded House. Where the stuff ...

I will pass on that tip, Telesto. I do not mix anything animal or human into composting.

How do the British Make Tea? Absolutely Not Like You Think We Do

Jo, today I downed 4 of the pints and a couple of smaller mugs too. And there will be another pint before bed, as well as another glass of wine. Teapot on legs, you say? I think so - my internal argument with myself at the moment goes 'would you ...

Fingerprints

Thank you. I've only touched the tip of the iceberg here. I'm researching a book, so may well write more on similar subjects... :-)

Fingerprints

The whole DNA technology had some problems with contamination at the beginning, although I am pretty sure that's all sorted now. It really is fascinating though.

Hi there, thank you. I'm really enjoying it here. And really enjoying meeting all the new people.

Environmental Chefs Will Love This Compost Stew ABC Recipe Book

There is another "speed up your composting" tip but I'm not absolutely sure I should share it, lest you think I am a bit mad.... It involves human urine being added to the mix. I saw it on television some years back and have used it ...

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo

Yeah, WriterArtist!!! I really do miss the site, especially the community there. Especially when I first started out, the community was awesome, so positive and supportive. That's funny (and a cool coincidence) that your lens was in the ...

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo

My experience also resonates a lot with what both of you wrote, burntchestnut and Writer Artist. I also think the spam and changes to the site could have been handled better. But it is easy for us to say this from afar. They do seem under ...
