In times of trouble, remember you’re British 

Posted on March 22, 2017March 23, 2017 By admin

It’s a fake, but it’s a lovely fake :)

This was from the July 2005 underground bombing:

“It’s hard to panic the British. They’ve dealt with the Blitz, the IRA, the Silurians, the Daleks, the Cybermen…”

To quote an old Londoner who lived through the blitz and got caught up in the Canary Wharf explosion: “I’ve been blown up by a better class of bastard than this!”

[recipe] Muffuletta

Posted on March 22, 2017 By admin

A traditional-style muffuletta sandwich consists of a muffuletta loaf split horizontally and covered with layers of marinated olive salad, cheese (mozarella and/or provolone) and charcuterie (salami, ham, porchetta, anything really).

The signature olive salad consists of olives, roasted red peppers, hot pepperoncini, diced with the celery, cauliflower and carrot found in a jar of giardiniera, seasoned with oregano, covered in olive oil, and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours.

THe breat is described as being somewhat similar to focaccia, but different in that it is a very light bread, the outside is crispy, and the inside is soft. At a pinch, any good crusty bread will do!

Quote of the day

"But surely dogs can't talk--" Sacharissa began.
"Oh dear oh dear oh dear," said Gaspode, "Did I *say* I was talking?"
"Well, not in so many words--"
--Sacharissa meets Gaspode the Wonder Dog (Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
