http://sphenodon.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. We wanted the Baltics, but then Eurostar came up with some nice deals, so Belgium it is - this time. Talinn, I'm watching you. Conversations concerning this went something like:. Contemplating going to belgium. No, why would you say that? It's more my bucket list of seeing the european parliament. And my passionate engagement with Herman van Rompuy's haiku's. Well yes, ok, they are very moving. In a fit ...

Rubbing the Gecko: So this is christmas...
http://sphenodon.blogspot.com/2014/12/so-this-is-christmas.html
Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. So this is christmas. Had a great time pre-xmas up in Scotland. Started off better than expected by flying out of Luton, which was pretty quiet. Pottering around galleries, parties and great food/booze. Too much of both. As usual, GoMA. We left Queen St station about an hour before the tragedy. Which we didn't hear about until much later in the afternoon since we'd gone direct to SMWS for lunch.

Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. Cooking with Bruce: Vege (or Pork) Chipotle and Pinto beans. Been awhile between drinks eh? Today's recipe was a total win for dinner last night. The recipe was for a pulled pork thing, but it works well with vege (courgettes, etc). I've adapted it to use chipotle chilli rather than the paste they'd suggested (dicks! 08kg pork shoulder steaks, cut into 3cm pieces or equivalent in vegetables. 3 Add the sp...

Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. Cooking with Bruce : Fennel and Blue Cheese Souffle Tart. This is fantastic. And even better cold. Just make it. It also allowed me to deliver the line "look, the kitchen is not your place". Large head of fennel (or 2), chopped into sixths. 1T (heaped) of flour. 3 eggs, separated. 40gm of grated parmesan. 200gm (ish) of blue cheese (or even better, gorgonzola). Preheat oven to 180C/Gas5. It is one of my ...

Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. A couple of dark metal vids that I'm liking right now. The new Bloodbath album looks to be a winner, or rather the single is great:. And while spinning around the dark reaches of death metal, I came across the new Belphegor single 'Conjuring the Dead'. This should appeal to anyone who likes the last couple of Behemoth albums:. Posted by Bruce Norris. Cooking with Bruce : Pecan Chocolate Mousse pie. 180gm...
