Morphine in C
Posted on August 29, 2010 | No CommentsOk, so driven in from the garden by a plethora of wasps and one annoying neighbour, I was planning to stick my head in a book, but sadly my synth got a hold of me. So, without further ado, I present Morphine in C –... -
Tig Tag
Posted on August 26, 2010 | No CommentsSo, I’ve finally got around to adding some tags to the first couple of dozen articles and adding a tag cloud (it’s down there on the right hand side). It occurred to me that, with near enough 2,000 posts, Nelefa.org is kinda outgrowing categories and... -
Dresden Amen

Sweet Chilli Sauce (of the nippy variety)
Posted on July 1, 2010 | No CommentsOk, so this is the easiest thing in the world to make, takes ten minutes, and tastes amazing. Here’s what you’ll need: 100ml white wine vinegar (malt will do, but white wine is nicer) 100g muscovado (or other light brown) sugar 1 tbsp tomato puree...
