Food 2011 – Recipes (Jam! Lots of Jam!)

I’m up to the armpits (not literally, thankfully) in greengage jam now! 25 jars of the stuff after someone at work gave me a massive bag of greengages. It’s amazing how sticky you can get just trying to make something as simple as jam. Now, the question is what to do with all of it!?

Thursday, 30th June/Monday, 4th July 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium It occurred to me that I never did finish talking about Monza, and it’s too far away now.

Saturday, 14th May 2011 – Roger Hickman’s, Norwich A weekend at Snetterton is not a cheerful thing, and therefore if we have to race there, then there has to be some sort of balance to the weekend, usually in the shape of the best meal we can find. This time, after a brief search of…

Travel 2011 – Monza

Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th April 2011 – Monza, Como, Brunate Wednesday was all about the travelling, and it was late in the evening when we made it to Milan Linate and then spent some time trying to round up our hire car. That got interesting, largely because Avis’ website is not quite as informative as it…

Running 2011 – Silverstone Half Marathon

Sunday, 6th March 2011 – Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone Double espresso drunk with predictably horrible if welcome results (if you’re not a runner, you’re better off not knowing). Porridge eaten. 1 litre of water downed. Serious stretches done… Body glide applied to sensitive areas (armpits in this case) Temporary Cancer Research tattoos applied. About to…
