Root Vegetable Gratin

Inspired by this recipe from the ever-erudite Weird Vegetables blog, I sliced up some parsnips, celeriac, carrots, swede and potatoes, and soaked them in a warm bath of chicken stock and cream.

It was the best of friends with a slice of pork and some watercress, all devoured while watching some vintage Dr. Who (this time with Jon Pertwee in a rather magnificent cape). 

Get Yo' Geek On

The thing about living with a computer geek is that you tend to end up with a lot of spare computer innards.Sure, you could just throw them into the bin, but then you'd be contributing to landfill and making Mother Nature cry. And Al Gore will tell you that bad things always happen when you make Mum Nature cry. So whaddaya do when you're trying to be a good lil' kid and you have money on your mind?

Well, make those innards into geek-tastic necklaces, of course!They're up for sale now at my Etsy store. Go on and buy them - or Darth Vader says he'll be your Daddy.
