A warming cup | Robochef's Weblog
https://robochef.wordpress.com/2015/03/15/a-warming-cup
This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. Asymp; Leave a comment. Recently, but before my trip to London, I had the pleasure in attending a lecture on food and drink in the Georgian period. This mainly featured tea, coffee and hot chocolate and the history and social status surrounding these products and the culture in indulging. The feature at the end of the lecture mostly consisted of free samples! Vanilla Hot Chocolate Recipe. 1 pint 600 ml full fat milk. 4 oz 100g Dark Chocolate (I use 50% cocoa).

This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. A racket or two. Asymp; Leave a comment. My yearly annual trek to Wimbledon for the tennis tournament was on a beautiful warm day, but thankfully not the overwhelming heat of the previous day. For me, I just like to see Tennis in the summer, not everyone’s cup of tea I know, but each to their own. And that was it for another year for me. The day over all too soon. Plenty more to watch on the TV, but it’s not the same as being there. Advantage Wim...Please lo...

This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. Tripping the heights fantastic. Asymp; Leave a comment. I haven’t been on the Cable cars at Matlock Bath for quite a few years. So it was time to do that trip again on what turned out to be a lovely early May day. A train to Matlock Bath was the easiest way for me to travel to Derbyshire and also enabled me a 20% discount on the cable cars to the Heights of Abraham. Watching the world go by and dreaming of a mini fish and chips by the river. Next post →.

This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. A night at the Ballet. Asymp; Leave a comment. I’m only really a fan of modern ballet and so the opportunity to see the touring Matthew Bourne production of “Edward Scissorhands” was a night out that I couldn’t miss. Gorgeous sets and costumes, fantastic dancing and plenty of humour created an exciting theatre experience of the bitter sweet story. Mystery and intrigue in the Library. Asymp; 2 Comments. Horace Walpole starts the exhibition off with his vivid ...

This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. Steaming in on High. Asymp; 4 Comments. Recently I had a walk up to Middleton Top with the Matlock Mavericks to take a look as some industrial history in limestone country near Wirksworth and Cromford. Middleton Top is the last surviving winding engine from the now defunct Cromford and High Peak Railway. The railway has now been converted into the High Peak Trail. Waggon on the track. Castles, Barons and Cheese. Asymp; 1 Comment. This time I chose not to go ...

This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. Mystery and intrigue in the Library. Asymp; 2 Comments. Recently I had the opportunity to visit the Terror and Wonder : The Gothic Imagination exhibition at the British Library in London. If you like looking at old books and classic film posters and clips (and I do) then this exhibition is a fascinating joy. The British Library has dusted all the classic volumes it can down for the exhibition and relied on the BFI and other notable museums to lend out the cu...

An older part of Matlock | Robochef's Weblog
https://robochef.wordpress.com/2015/03/22/old-matlock-town
This blog is……. Have fairy cakes, will travel. An older part of Matlock. Asymp; 2 Comments. Starting in Old Matlock Town with my guide, Linda, the walk started through the church yard of St Giles up to the War Memorial on Pic Tor. A fine spot for a good overall view of Matlock. We waved to Fidel on Matlock Bank and walked down towards the crossing over the River Derwent. Then it was a walk along the roadside towards Matlock Bath passing a few walkers, a few hardy canoeists and a rock climber or two.

Let them eat bread « Eyes and Outcry
https://toohie.wordpress.com/2015/04/02/let-them-eat-bread
Let them eat bread. There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread to make the house feel like home! The problem with baking one’s own bread is the time it takes – all that kneading and proving and rising and knocking back and kneading and rising ad infinitum. Takes bloody hours! You have to plan bread-making like a military campaign, and it’s only feasible on days off work. That’s unless you bake Italian Rustic Bread! I use this really easy recipe from the “From the Feast” blog. Just anothe...
