Trust me, I’m an everyday person
Thursday, November 1st, 2007
Some time ago I came up with the idea of a recommendations site where you, me and anybody else who cared could recommend things, specifically in the area of food. I wanted to know where to find the best chorizo, or the best olives, or the best bacon in London. I would invite the public […]
risky beans

I particularly like the idea of working on a credit risk project for baked bean loans.
garden growth
Sunday, July 1st, 2007
Although our window box gardening efforts have not been entirely successful this year (not helped by a week-long trip to France..), we have been treated to some lovely strawberries.

if ever i heard a scary food story, this is it.. the marmite jar is to go ?
squeezy marmite
that squeeze had better have a fine action because some people don’t like much marmite. i don’t like the idea of a food being modified to suit the packaging.
a question of eggs
Saturday, March 4th, 2006
My suspicions have recently been raised about supermarket eggs. A recent purchase of Asda organic eggs first made me suspicious, as they are certified by an authority other than the Soil Association. This makes me suspicious because, if I were a supermarket selling a product which could be certified by the Soil Association, I […]
