Last minute food gifts – 2: Candied Chili Pecans

Ann Godridge — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:00:48 +0000

Pin It I find these dangerously addictive, with the combination of salt, caramel and spice. So do be warned. They are quite straight forward though, and you don’t need a sugar thermometer. You do have to be very careful to watch the caramel and take it off the heat when the colour starts to change [...]

Last minute food gifts – 3: Dog Biscuits

Ann Godridge — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:00:18 +0000

Pin It These were actually intended originally to appeal to dogs, but I found Ryan giving them a repeated taste test. There’s nothing in them that isn’t human friendly. You can use any old biscuit cutters, but I was given the lovely Newfoundland one last Christmas, and you can buy them in all kinds of [...]

Last minute food gifts – 1. Chocolate Melts

Ann Godridge — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:00:00 +0000

Pin It None of these take very long to make, and remember you can always send someone else out to do the shopping. These are the easiest and most delicious chocolates I have ever made. The low melting point of the coconut butter makes them feel cool as they melt in your mouth. Coconut oil [...]

Review – Kopi Gourmet Coffee

Ann Godridge — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:10:19 +0000

Pin It I love getting parcels through the post, and I love my coffee, so when I was offered the chance to review this gourmet coffee club by Sarah, I didn’t hesitate. Mind, most of what I care about in coffee is that it contains caffeine, so I wasn’t altogether sure how I’d go about [...]

Ada Lovelace Day – Mary Anning, fossil hunter

Ann Godridge — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:00:44 +0000

Pin It Consider the life of a little girl who is born into a poor family in Lyme Regis, in 1799. She’s called Mary, after an older sister who died. Miraculously, when she is a toddler only fifteen months old, she survives a lightning strike. Her family were fossil hunters and sold “curios”, as they [...]

Facebook and Privacy – Ticker, Timeline and Settings

Ann Godridge — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 12:23:16 +0000

Pin It In spite of the panic stricken statuses all over the place, privacy on Facebook really hasn’t changed all that much. If anything, you have more control than before. Also remember that not everyone has all the new options available as yet. 1. The Ticker The ticker, on the right of the screen when [...]

Revisiting 1980 – procrastination by research

Ann Godridge — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:00:51 +0000

Pin It I am well underway now, writing the second novel, provisionally called Fairy Street. Part of the novel (I’m not even sure how much yet, it could be ninety percent, or it could be only half…) is set back in 1980 and 1981. I’m really enjoying some of the research. So much of it [...]

Why story matters #writing #blogging

Ann Godridge — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 10:43:26 +0000

Pin It I suppose the first question is, does story matter? Obviously, I think it does, but there’s also plenty of evidence that it matters to a lot of other people too. Story is not just novels, after all. It’s the basis for much poetry, for plays and TV drama and films. But it’s also [...]

Caution – may contain spoilers!

Ann Godridge — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 09:00:51 +0000

Pin It Whenever a new Doctor Who episode is broadcast, a stream of carefully judged comments flow past on my Facebook feed, all posted by the usual suspects… Most make no sense out of context, and they act better than the official trailers…as a kind of appetiser that prompt me to set aside whatever I [...]
