I heart Tyler Florence  because of his meatballs.  Seriously.  I made this last night and I swear I felt peace on earth and the end of global warming. Join Tyler’s Meatball Coalition and you too will experience nirvana. This is not the first dish I’ve made from Tyler’s Ultimate big teevee show. The fishcakes were [...]

Last week I dumped a can of diet pepsi into my emergency brake well (accidentally). Yesterday I emptied 600ml of water into the same (I only have the one car) emergency brake well (also accidentally). Does the last accident cancel out the first? Do I need to look into a car that doesn’t have the [...]

If you should wish to use this photo in an advertising campaign, Poppie and I would consider allowing you to use this for a small fee and a sack of kibble.

I had a dream the other night the I presume was about monkeys as I woke with The Specials “Monkey Man” earworm and had recently watched Jumanji on the teevee (Monkeys!). Which of course reminded me of this: If you don’t know how I got from one to the other, google Terry Hall, my fave [...]

A couple of years ago bunch of book-worms at my place of employment got a book club together, and while some may tease us about being a wine and gourmet food club, we do read the book and discuss it for at least five minutes. Them’s the rules. Book Club was epic last night, stuffed [...]

This was me. I had no intention of being cheerful and optimistic. After all, teh world is coming to an end and we’re all going to die. And my doggie got skunked. What do I have to be happy about? Then I read about a strange fish called Barreleye.  It has a transparent head. How [...]

Not one of my popular opinions, and I’ve caught a lot of flak from it on several forums that I belong to but I don’t get why Raising Sand is getting so much recognition and really don’t get all the acclaim it and Robert are getting for it. It’s not groundbreaking at all, nor do [...]

Apologies to Jonathan Carroll: I am a terrible ambassador for your books. Have been telling my friends about a novel I just finished that I loved. It’s called Bones of the Moon by Jonathan Carroll.
