Textbooks are frequently poorly written. In the case of my grade 10 history textbook, it may actually [...] [...]

Simon over at Reluctant Scooper has already posted this, and it’s been linked all over Twitter, but it’s so funny I offer no apology for linking to it as well…A thought occurred to me as I watched. And that is, shouldn’t CAMRA overdub Kevin Valentine… [...]

Solo a me autodefinire il proprio locale “il nuovo tempio della birra artigianale”, tra l’altro una settimana prima che lo si inauguri, pare un po’ eccessivo? Capisco che a Bologna manchi davvero un locale all’altezza della città (anche se il campanilismo mi spingerebbe a dire il contrario ), però un pochetto di moderazione non farebbe [...] [...]

Lenticchie al Curry con Nachos ed Arancia
Insalatina della fortuna! Così chiamerei questo piatto grazie alle sue miracolose proprietà, che nella tradizione, vengono attribuite al legume protagonista di oggi. La preparazione è come al solito, in questo blog, semplice e gustosa.
