Careless Talk. It’s not what I wanted.
Posted on June 19, 2010 | No CommentsHere’s a strange thing. I have a manuscript, some 40,000 words, that I was working on until early last year. It started out as rather a nice short story – very sinister, very nasty. Due to an approaching shitstorm in my life, it started to... -

Joarron
Posted on May 25, 2010 | No CommentsUpdated and Edited to add extra yum. Ok, so first off, this recipe is a bit of an invention. We made up the recipe as we went along and through a bizarre twist of fate produced something truly wonderful. Unfortunately, I didn’t write down what... -
Updated: Chicken Sneaka Masala part 3: The Masala
Posted on May 3, 2010 | 1 CommentI’ll start out by offering sincerest apologies to anyone reading this who may consider Indian food their natural diet. I’ve taken certain liberties here to produce something that appeals to my western palate while, I hope, staying faithful to the Indian techniques normally used for... -
Chicken Sneaka Masala part 2: Sneaking
Posted on May 3, 2010 | No CommentsThis bit is easy. It’s just tikkafying the marinaded chicken. Only reason I’m doing a post about it is to reveal the Secret Incantation of the Sacrificial Potato. You’re going to skewer your chicken and need something to rest the skewers on so it’s suspended... -
Chicken Sneaka Masala part 1: Marinade
Posted on May 3, 2010 | No CommentsThis is a pretty standard ‘tikka’ style marinade.

It is, however, going to give a bit of flavour for my soon-to-be-produced Sneaka Masala, so I’m... -
Twelve
Posted on April 26, 2010 | No CommentsHere, at the end of everything, the sun never sets. The ocean meets the land with perpetual violence. Her constant assault increases her territory, inch by inch, century by century. Etude stood on the very brink of the world, two hundred feet above the raging... -
Chicken Sneakaloo
Posted on April 23, 2010 | No CommentsSo we invented a curry last night. Couldn’t decide what to make so in the end we decided to make it up as we went along. And it turned out pretty good too. It’s fairly fiery, with lots of sour onion flavour but very nomworthy.... -
Sticky Bits
Posted on April 14, 2010 | No CommentsThere’s nothing more alarming than walking down the street minding ones own business only to find oneself caught in the middle of a hole-storm. I huddled in the doorway of a dingy looking greengrocer and shivered as millions of tiny holes hurtled earthward, making little...
