Food 2018 Р185 Watling Street, Ten Hands Caf̩, The Ganges, Towcester
11th February to 18th March 2018 – 185 Watling Street, Ten Hands Café, The Ganges, Towcester We’ve been doing a fair amount of local eating again with the start of 2018 and have revisited some old favourites as well as test running some new entrants to the local restaurant scene. With the town growing rapidly…
Food 2018 – Gousto Box (Slow-Roast Duck, Braised Red Cabbage and Dauphinoise Potatoes)
May 2nd 2018 – Gousto Box (Slow-Roast Duck, Braised Red Cabbage and Dauphinoise Potatoes) I know I’ve left it a bit late to post about this, but I think it remains valid given that once every 4-6 weeks I order us a Gousto box, usually after I’ve been away and I don’t want to come…
Fitness 2018 – Blenheim 7k, Blenheim Palace
Sunday, 29th April 2018 – Blenheim 7k, Blenheim Palace Having not run any sort of race since the Silverstone 10K two years ago, the Blenheim 7K seemed like a conveniently sensible distance in a conveniently close location, it being only 40 minutes or so away by road. So I figured what the hell, I’d go…
Food 2018 – Recipes (Onion Fritters, Chinese Braised Red Cabbage)
Monday, 16th April 2018 – Recipes (Onion Fritters, Chinese Braised Red Cabbage) A glut of onions starting to shoot meant I tried the first recipe at the weekend. It worked a treat! It’s apparently from the wonderful Madhur Jaffrey’s book, Curry Easy Vegetarian. Additionally, with a red cabbage lying around reproachfully in the vegetable rack,…
Music 2018 – Distant Sky: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Live in Copenhagen, The Errol Flynn Filmhouse, Northampton
Friday, 13th April 2018 – Distant Sky: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live in Copenhagen, The Errol Flynn Filmhouse, Northampton I now know what the soundtrack to the apocalypse will sound like, should such a thing occur (and given the state of world politics right now, it seems a distinct possibility). It will sound…
Food 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Friday, 13th April 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton And so, knowing we would be out at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse later in the evening, we decided we’d have a second shot at Hibiscus, the fine dining restaurant (their words, not mine, but it is justifiable) tucked away inside the building. We’d booked in early with intent…
Food 2018 – Recipes (Venison Shanks)
Wednesday, 11th April 2018 – Recipes (Venison Shank Casserole) Venison Shank Casserole This is wonderful, brilliantly dense and rich and makes a superb dinner option on a miserable winter day. I recommend tweaking the recipe somewhat. We got 6 portions out of it by cooking just two shanks in the amount of wine and port…
Food 2018 – Le Cigalon, London
Monday, 9th April 2018 – Le Cigalon, London Le Cigalon sent me an email inviting me to test drive their new 5 course menu for £29.50 a head (it’s normally £36.50 for 3 courses), which for central London is a massive bargain. Having discussed catching up over dinner with our friend Janice I asked her…
