My DNA results are in…

Posted on October 1, 2018 By admin

… and I can confirm that I’m 100% human!

And given my French-Canadian lineage, I’m really not surprised about my genetic heritage being predominantly Northwestern-European (French, British, Irish, etc…)

Katy says that “this might explain the forehead”. Thank you, my love.

The good news is that there are no major health gremlins hiding in my DNA (with the usual caveats that they don’t check for everything), so that’s good. Some of the train reports that they provide also indicate that the findings need to be taken with a grain of salt:

Bald Spot – Likely no bald spot
Cilantro Taste Aversion – Slightly higher odds of disliking cilantro
Early Hair Loss – Likely no hair loss
Fear of Heights – Less likely than average to be afraid of heights
Finger Length Ratio – Likely ring finger longer
Hair Texture – Likely straight or wavy
Hair Thickness – Less likely to have thick hair
Light or Dark Hair – Likely light
Wake-Up Time – Likely to wake up around 7:46 am

The errors seem to be mainly centered around hair, weird. I also really like coriander.

[recipe] Toad in the hole

Posted on October 1, 2018 By admin

4-6 large sausages of your choice (pork, beef, boar, etc)

Yorkshire pudding mix
250g plain white flour
300ml whole milk
4 free-range eggs, beaten
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Salt & pepper, to taste

1. Sift the flour into a large bowl with a generous pinch of salt.

2. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs. Pour in a little milk and then whisk the lot together to make a smooth batter. Mix in the rest of the liquid, until you have a batter the consistency of single cream. Leave at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

3. While the batter is resting, put the sausages in a roasting dish with a generous splash of oil and roast in a pre-heated oven at 200C for 10 minutes.

4. Take the dish out of the oven, and keep warm on the hob if possible while you ladle in the batter – if it doesn’t sizzle when you add the first spoonful, put the tin back into the oven until it does.

5. Put the TITH into the oven and cook for 45 minutes until well risen and golden.
