Some random links I’ve had open in my web browser lately: The BBC have been broadcasting daily episodes of a dramaticization of Susan Cooper’s book The Dark is Rising. It’s also available as a podcast (on pretty much all the platforms), and we’ve been listening along and really enjoying it. If you’ve only seen the…

Autumn is here. The weather is getting cooler and the sun is setting sooner. We spent 10 minutes Saturday morning watching Guillaume Brahimi make beef bourguignon, so I immediately put it on the menu plan for the week.

Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals #37: Broccoli OrecchietteThis was our 37th cooking/blogging experiment from Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals. I’m still catching up on the backlog!

We’ll be going on hiatus for a few weeks due to our annual Halloween party as well as a small trip I’m taking to Victoria. Also, this time of year is just insanely busy… which is why I’m…

Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals #32: Tomato SoupThis was our 32nd cooking/blogging experiment from Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals. (HA! I just noticed that on the Amazon.com page, it’s actually called “Meals in Minutes” in the USA. I guess they’ve given up on the whole 30 minute aspect over there!) For this one, we chose “Tomato Soup…

Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals #31: Sticky Pan-Fried ScallopsThis was our 31st cooking/blogging experiment from Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals.

For this meal, we picked: “Sticky Pan-Fried Scallops, Sweet Chilli Rice, Dressed Greens, and Quick Brownies.” We picked it because we were…
