Our prices are never more than the retailers recommended retail price. Where possible we will price match with shops and online stores, please ask us. We would prefer to do this than spend staff time demonstrating items to you and then have you go online to buy it to save a few pounds. We prefer to serve customers in the locality of our stores, so if you are able to collect from us, thereby helping us to keep our costs down we may be able to give you a further discount on any heavy or bulky items that would otherwise cost us a lot to deliver.
To discuss this and to place an order on the phone please call 0207 249 5069. If you are calling for a price match please have the details of the price and where you saw it, as we will need to check this first before agreeing on the price match. Where the store does not supply a phone number this is an immediate alarm bell that they will not be providing good customer service, so unless we can verify their price we will not match it. We reserve the right to: not price match web only stores, or stores where we know the customer service is seriously lacking, or if the item is out of stock with the company with the lower price. We know the industry well enough to know that some stores give little or no customer service, or promote low prices on items they do not have in stock. 'Pile it high, sell it cheap' pricing is fine if you never have a warranty claim, but a major stress if you do.
We may refuse to price match an item where there is a local store closer to you that you would be better served buying from. We apply this on a case by case basis, usually after agreement with our suppliers.
Please be aware of the 'hidden' costs of buying from cheap online stores; we sadly have had customers with major issues with purchases (especially buggies) and are not able to get these problems resolved easily. Having to ship your buggy cross-country to the web-shop you purchased it from, leaving you without your buggy for an indefinite period can be highly inconvenient. On a few occasions we have had to step in and help customers who have been left with a faulty buggy and a cut-price retailer who has closed down, such as the much publicised closure of 2 Left Feet.
Did you know? Some online stores have a dedicated person whose job it is to trawl the Internet to check prices, and then reduce their prices to just a bit lower? We neither have the time or inclination to do this; we'd rather give you great service in our shops. So please show your appreciation for that by buying from us and don't feel embarrassed to ask us to price match! Unless it is a ridiculous price, and bearing in mind all the above, we will try our best to match it.
We understand that making the right choice may seem rather daunting, especially if this is your first baby. Georgina and I have years of experience in this field and our staff have too. We are happy to speak to you regarding any query. Please call us during shop opening hours - Monday to Saturday 9.30 - 5.30 on 0117 924 5080 or if you need to speak to someone on a Sunday you can call the Stoke Newington shop on 0207 249 5069or email us, all details are on the contact us page.
Take a look at our 'What do I need?' page for lots of advice that will point you in the right direction.

If you don't have proof of purchase we'll always try to help and may offer you a credit note for the items current value. Without proof of purchase we're unable to offer a refund regardless whether the product is faulty or not.
Can I return a gift voucher?
Unfortunately we're unable to refund Born gift vouchers
Can I return reusable nappies?
Yes, as long as they haven't be used and are in a suitable condition that we can re-sell them then we're happy for you to return them to us. If the nappies have been washed then we're unable to refund them unless of course they are faulty, in which case we will offer a replacement.
Because we know that sometimes people don't always try re-usables until their baby is slightly older we offer a 90 day return policy for nappies, rather than 30 days for other products.
Can I return an item I bought at a sale or reduced price?
Yes, you can return anything you bought at a reduced price – however if you wish to receive a refund because you have changed your mind then please ensure you return the item within seven working days of purchase.
What about products I have assembled?
If you have purchased an item you have had to assemble at home, such as a cot or high chair (such as a Stokke Tripp Trapp), unfortunately unless the product is faulty, we are unable to offer either a refund or replacement.
What about 'made-to-order' products?
If you have purchased anything which can be considered a 'special order', 'made to order' or 'made to measure' then please contact customer service. While our policy is that we reserve the right to decline the offer of a refund or replacement, depending upon the nature of the personalization we'll do what ever we can to help including discussing it with the manufacturers. Obviously if you have ordered a bright pink Ollie Ella Chair with yellow cushions and gold stitching we may find it harder to help!
What if I've chosen the wrong Bugaboo colour combination?
For those products that offer the opportunity to mix and match colours (such as Bugaboos and Bloom bouncers or high chairs) then as long as the colours are not 'specials' then we're happy to replace or refund the item.
What if I'm replacing an item I bought as part of a Product Bundle or multiple purchase?
We're more than happy for you to return a single item from a bundle, but please be aware that we shall only be able to offer a replacement or refund at the discounted price, rather than the non-discounted price.
What if you sent me a free gift, do I need to return that as well?
Sometimes we add a little gift to someone's order, such as fair trade chocolates or something nice for the bath. If you wish to return part or all of your order we recommend quickly scoffing the chocolates or taking a very long, luxurious bath. We think you deserve a little treat!
Who pays to return an unwanted item?
Unless the item you wish to return is faulty then unfortunately we're unable to reimburse you for the cost of postage. Only by asking customers to pay for their returns can we keep our prices as low as possible, and please remember we're happy to have items returned via a store.
If you are returning faulty goods then we will refund the cost of Royal Mail Second class post. For larger items please contact email@example.com
Will my refund include the delivery cost?
If you wish to return a faulty item then we will reimburse the initial delivery charge if you tell us within 7 working days of purchase. If you tell us after 7 days that you plan to return the item then we're unable to reimburse the initial delivery charge.
If you wish to return an item for any reason other than it's faulty, then unfortunately we're unable to reimburse the initial delivery charge.

One person is dead in a plane crash near Boerne.
The small single-engine plane went down Sunday afternoon on State Highway 46 in Kendall County.
Trooper Deon Cockrell of the Texas Department of Public Safety tells 550 KTSA News the plane lost altitude, struck a tree, continued into a power line, then the roadway where it traveled around a hundred yards into a field where it caught fire.
Cockrell says the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft at the time.
An investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration continues.

This study from Sweden looked at the changes in the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in both CSF and peripheral blood in people with MS treated with natalizumab for at least 18 months. It included five cases of natalizumab-associated PML with age-matched people with MS not treated with natalizumab and healthy controls. The researchers found that people with MS presented with peripheral TCR repertoire expansions in blood, which was less prominent during treatment with natalizumab. While in the CSF, TCR restrictions were most pronounced in people with MS treated with natalizumab. In the longitudinal samples obtained from those who developed PML, new identical TCR receptor length expansions in blood and CSF were seen following plasma exchange and preceded the development of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Overall, this demonstrates significant TCR repertoire restrictions in CSF of patients treated with natalizumab, reflecting a likely altered immune surveillance of the central nervous system. There appears to be an impaired peripheral expansion of antigen-specific T cells. Following plasma exchange, the increased reconstitution of peripheral T-cell expansion may trigger PML-IRIS. These results suggest that natalizumab causes broader changes in the T-cell immune response beyond lymphocyte migration.Authors: Warnke C, Mausberg AKSource: Neurology. 2013 Sep 18.

Movie News
Dane Dehaan will be Harry Osborn in the next SPIDER-MAN!
Hey folks, Harry here... Contrary to some, I really quite liked THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. My least favorite stuff in that film had to do with OsCorp and Peter's parents. I just felt that the time they spent on that would have been better spent further developing Captain Stacy & Peter & Gwen's relationships... or more LIZARD stuff - and the deleted scenes on the Blu Ray really show some stuff that I would have liked in the film. BUT that was film 1. FILM 2 - we're apparently going to be getting ELECTRO by way of Jamie Foxx, which is interesting. I really only care about how spiffy Foxx is going to look in the lightning bolt mask and the green & yellow! I'm only barely kidding. Electro's costume is pretty damn ridiculous - but I sort of love it precisely because it is ridiculous. I mean, if you said to ELECTRO, "You're costume looks lame" you would be fried. In fact, he might've made the costume so outlandish to provoke exactly that.
But I'm not talking about ELECTRO or Jamie Foxx. Nope, a far more integral casting for the Parker universe has occurred. DANE DEHAAN, the boy that lost it big time in CHRONICLE, well that actor has signed on to play Harry Osborn.
Given we are in the midst of telling the Gwen Stacy / Peter Parker story from the comics, bringing in a really solid actor like DeHaan to play Harry... well it makes me think they might actually stick a toe or two into the Gil Kane Drug Story stuff with Harry. THAT WOULD BE OUTSTANDING! I always loved the social conscious stories that the webslinger had - and those Gil Kane Harry Osborn hooked on smack stories - that took place in the heart of the Gwen Stacy tale.... all while Harry's Dad was freaking the fuck out... becoming the GREEN GOBLIN, while Harry dealt with his inadequacies through his secret addiction... There's great material there. I wonder if that is going to be the 'human story' that Peter and Gwen are dealing with in this next film. Alot of folks dislike the Harry Osborn character - but for me, he's another of the failures in Peter Parker's life.
Parker isn't supposed to be surrounded with sweet awesome people. Parker is for all intents and purposes the JOB of the Marvel Universe. His is a story of woe. He's given hope like a YOYO, constantly being pulled away from him, before giving him a bit of hope again.
I love this casting, I just hope they give Dan DeHaan the Harry Osborn do.

Jamie Fox?
by Dollar Bird
What the what? I finally get to see Electro on screen and it's played by Jamie of-all-people Fox? When I was but a little boy, I was sure that Satan looked like KISS's Gene Simmons dressed in Electro's mask. Now I have Jamie Fox to contend with. Oh, well. Never saw the new Spidey anyway. Don't feel the need to see this one either. (Yet, somehow I was compelled to post a dumb comment here...)

It was the non event of the decade.
by donkey_lasher
I watched it, but couldn't get Raimi's version out of my head and how he nailed the origin story. This just left me cold. We still don't have a decent Peter Parker either, it's between Maguires' whiney emo, or Andrew Garfields skater boi.

They've made Spidey into just another genre film without any A-list talent that no one really cares about. Shame! Batman, Supes, X-Men, and the Marvel Studios stable all get A-list talent and excite the masses. But the biggest Marvel character of all time is now just another ho-hum also-ran. Shame!

Amazing Spiderman made less at the box office
by seasider
than its 2002 counterpart and cost about $100 million more to make. Heck even Spiderman 3 did better. This new reincarnation may please Spiderman purists but it's gonna have to really knock it out of the ball park if they want this to make it to a trilogy.

Right, you really think they're going to stick a drug story in a movie designed to sell action figures to 7-year-olds?

They already fucked up the first one by going to dark and having lizard rats chewing on mouse corpses. Adding a drug story is about as likely as a special edition of Iron Man 2 coming out with a bunch of drunk Tony Stark scenes added.

Amazing Spider-Man felt too safe for me
by Cobb05
It was better than I thought it would be, but it was far from great. I still don't get the look of Lizard. Yes, they wanted a motion capture look, but they could've protruded his face a little and still have the mouth move in a realistic manner. But I thought the movie tried too hard to set up a lot of stuff. Yes, Oscorp will play a bigger role. Yes, the parents will play a bigger role. I just think it took away from the action and Peter/Gwen story. Captain Stacy was sort of wasted. I don't think we saw enough of him. You really needed another scene of him going after Spider-man. But because of retelling the origin... again, it wasted a lot of time that could've be used to improve the story.

Anyway, I read on another website that some guy got cast in the AMAZING SPIDER MAN movie, which I loved. Go ahead and google it, because these painkillers are making me forget his name. We had a guy post it with proper names and all earlier, but I removed his, because he hated the movie BATTLESHIP, which I loved. Well, gotta go - I have to scan YAHOO for some cool stories to pass on to ya!

Like the casting. A bit predictable, but solid. The question now is: who plays Norman?
by rk349097
I like Michael Massee as an actor (and he looks the part), but this part is going to need a bigger name to carry the load. I was holding out hope for Sean Penn, but this guy doesn't plausibly look like he could be his son (not that that really matters all that much).

The first film was great
by NightArrows
Having finally saw it, I can safely say that those who dislike it are fucked in the head and ass. A better all-round representation of the character than what Raimi :tried: to give us. The action was lightyears better than the Raimi work and I didn't want to punch Peter in the face like I did that jackass Toby Maguire and his dumb-ass stoner expression. Although I did find that Garfield is eerily similar to Elias Koteas in his face and how he speaks (at least with his non-brit accent). Fuck the haters, you can all go fuck monkeys and get AIDS. I mean it. You'd be doing the world a favour.
Dec. 3, 2012, 3:16 p.m. CST

The Horner score for ASM is interesting
by Samuel Fulmer
I actually like it on it's own, but as part of the movie it didn't seem to work. It was a little too overblown and seemed to overshadow the film (thinking of the truly awful scene where spidey saves the kid on the bridge near the middle of the movie. It's like the music is all pumped up and heroic, but it just makes an already horribly acted/filmed/shot scene seem even more silly).

ASM II ideas
by HoraceSkinner
Norman goes crazy over the course of the movie introduce the black cat use the Harry Osborn goes to the Psychiatrist angle. always thought that was a awesome twist in the comics Norman hires a sinister six type group to fix his spider problem. Lizard, Mysterio, Electro, Jack o Latern, Vulture, ect. Spidey beats them with ease, which garners the eye of Kraven the hunter. A full length Kraven movie would be great even though its not going to happen...ever peter gets a part time job at the bugle peter finds the robber who shot uncle ben, gets his heroic catharsis give peter a happy ending w gwen stacey, aunt may, and whoever. cus we all know how the next one is going to end ...

Horner's score for ASM sucked
by David_Denmans_Beard
How is it possible to score a superhero film and fuck up creating a THEME? Seriously, that shit should write itself and yet Horner dropped the ball on it. Also, "You are costume looks lame" - DID I HAVE A FUCKING STROKE? What the hell am I reading? End a sentence with a preposition or omit a letter from a word and it's still readable. Improper use of a contraction and the sentence ceases to make sense. Unless Electro is an agitated grammar school teacher, I don't think he'll give a shit about such a comment since he'll be too busy laughing himself to death over it.

I haven't read a Spidey comic in 30 years

I got banned just for criticising Herc's lack of actual TV content. seriously... He reviews very few TV reviews in what is the golden age of TV shows... and when her does he adds very little insight. He does have lots of Amazon links, lots of synopses (as if you can't find those in TV Guide)... It would be good to get a TV reviewer who is passionate, intelligent and consistent...

I think they need to reboot Spider-Man...
by J
They still have plenty of titles left. They could call it Spectacular Spider-Man, or Web of Spider-Man... They could actually tie it into the continuity of both Amazing Spider-Man and Raimi's films by saying those Spider-Men were clones and do a Abrams-style soft reboot. As for which is better, Amazing Spider-Man nailed Spider-Man (more of a smart-ass, web-shooters, better costume) while Raimi nailed Peter Parker (not a skater, more tormented by Ben and his sense of responsibility, constantly shit on by life).

I have been banned TWICE by Herc. The first time was for questioning why he uses the coaxial section as a forum for his Leftist political views. The second was for questioning why I was banned the first time. I have been with AICN since 1997. t would be fantastic if this site were to return to what it was when it was started -- a forum and information smorgasbord for film/comic/tv geeks. Somewhere along the line, it became a place where one user tries to insult other users for their taste in movies, comics, tv shows or politics. Once upon a time, we would read a post with spoilers about an upcoming film (e.g. STAR WARS: Episode 1) and spend our time discussing it instead of criticizing it or others.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN was pretty underwhelming
by Michael Morning
I was SO glad I didn't see it in the theater (first superhero movie that I skipped in the theater). It was, IMO, a waste. I HATED the casting of Peter Parker. This kid was just wrong for the part. Toby nailed it and has created pretty big shoes to fill. The whole origin story with his parents as a murder mystery...(yawn). Maybe this one will be better, but it was just a rushed and completely unnecessary reboot and retelling of the origin story.

I hated ASM
by FlyingToupee
I'm pretty tolerant, I don't dislike that many movies. But ASM was terrible; the weird tics of Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker, the horrible non plot of the Lizard, the daft handling of Uncle Ben's murder, etc. Now there were a couple of good things: Emma Stone as Gwen, Sally Fields(surprisingly) as Aunt May. But overall I thought it was terrible. I still think that the sequel can be salvaged, and a good movie can be made. And I'm hopeful that happens, as Spidey is my second favorite comic book hero. But they need to fix a lot of things to make it work.

@ shadydrifter- I agree with you 100%, now I'll answer lol:
by lox4444
because I'm a whiny little bitch like everyone else in the film freak community. I think Nolan is over rated because he hit such a peak with TDK and, for me, The Prestige, that everything else he does kind of lets me down. It's not fair to him, it's immature, but that's how most of us are. Same with GDT, only the opposite, I love him but I keep waiting for him to release his masterpiece and it never happens, for me at least. I hate Fincher for 1 reason: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of my favorite films of all time, and for several reason it doesn't look like the sequel will happen. Not his fault, but he's associated with the hate because I'm a 5 year old pounding my fists in a hissy fit when it comes to the box office failure of that film. We act like children when it comes to film sometimes. I certainly do. But I never make up my mind until I've actually seen the film and given it a chance.

AICN is hiring...here is my resume.
by The_Cellarrat
Strengths: -I enjoy movies and appreciate the fiction as someone else's unique vision, rather than be upset that a movie doesn't play out the way I want it to, in service to my childhood notions of how a character *should* act. -I am able to separate my ability to willingly suspend my disbelief from my ability to try to project myself into a movie I WANT to like or dislike.. -I know the difference between strong writing and strong directing, and can analyze a movie based upon the proper merits (or lack) of either. -My enjoyment of a movie is not dependent on it having lasers, boobies or monsters (though that helps). -I recognize that a bad final product released theatrically is a bad movie in and of itself, regardless of bad marketing or misplaced intentions. Weaknesses: -I am poor at giving positive reviews to movies such as AFTERSHOCK, GODZILLA, CLOUD ATLAS, AMAZING SPIDER MAN, PROMETHEUS, and DARK SHADOWS based upon pwesents and set visits. -I am equally poor at giving poor reviews to movies such as TDKR, SINISTER, and INCEPTION based upon petty grousing and jealousy. -I am not a natural showman. Sadly, my work tends to be on time and I have a hard time *Whetting the appetite* of my readership my not publishing anything relevant for weeks on end. Miscellany: I know the difference between Your and You're. And Its and It's. And There and Their. And If and Whether or Not. And Fox and Foxx. And A Lot and Alot. And Regardless and Irregardless. So, do I get the job?
Dec. 3, 2012, 8:06 p.m. CST

Harry unpublished the Kidd's article bc it didn't TOW THE COMPANY LINE
by D.Vader
Do not fall for Harry's bullshit here. The meaning is clear. NEVER before have we seen someone have a story unpublished bc it didn't "provide the proper context". If anything, editors ADD to existing stories, putting in their own two cents and adding MORE context. That is the *professional* step Harry should have taken. He should have added to the Kidd's story. He should have provided a counterpoint. Instead, the Kidd had a different viewpoint, and Harry banished it. Bad form, Harry, Bad form indeed. (and I don't even like The Kidd)
Dec. 3, 2012, 9:30 p.m. CST
I don't really like The Kid either, but I appreciate his effort. And it's sad that effort is all it takes to be noteworthy on AICN these days lol. But....
by lox4444
I agree. I really don't see any other reason for Harry's talkback than to take a public swipe at the Kid. I mean put yourself in a workplace situation, for those of you that have an actual professional workplace(I don't mean that the way it sounds). I would assume anyone who handled the situation the way Harry did, giving a public reprimand, was doing so in an effort to "put me in my place".

by workshed
...Dehaan's central performance. My missis HATES super-hero films and she was glued to Chronicle simply because of DD. Ditto 'Lawless'. Whilst I look forward to seeing him tear up the screen as the Goblin (Hobgoblin?) I would love to see this kid as Tetsuo in a live-action Akira (should it finally happen). And nice one for pulling The Kidd's garbage... who hired that kid? I don't rate his opinions at all... he's certainly no Moriarty/Quint. I enjoyed the way he stirred things up at first but now I skip every review because I reckon this guy just hates going to the movies (though he probably doesn't realise it yet!) Fingers crossed you find some full-time staffers who (won't defect to Hitfix and) can help give this site some credibility back asap.

The last Spider-man film was not good by any measure.
by wcolbert
Unless of course the yardstick you happen to be using is the Uwe Boll school of film making. But really...I don't see how people can muster any enthusiasm for another Spidey movie in the vein of the most recent one. It was...in a word...forgettable. Not TERRIBLE...just completely pain-by-numbers. No new territory was covered. Nothing new was explored. In fact, it felt like a step was taken backward - re-treading old territory we'd JUST SEEN within recent enough memory. There was just no point in rebooting a film series within 10 years of the first and 5 or so of the last one. Honestly I had forgotten most of the film about 5 minutes after I saw it - and that's only a slight hyperbole. I haven't seen The Abyss in about 20 years and I still remember it perfectly well. Haven't seen Castaway since it was in theaters - still remember it. The Amazing Spiderman? I kind of remember the end, I remember him taking his mask off every 5 minutes, and...well that's about it. This is, mind you, only my opinion. One many share, I assure you, but only an opinion. As is true of any viewpoint put forth on this site. If you enjoyed it, and can get excited about another one...more power to you. I envy you. Perhaps it's because I never read a single Spiderman comic in my life that I enjoyed the first 3 far more. I don't know. I enjoyed Watchmen, too. Again, I never experienced the source material. Maybe that's the key - not being too invested in what's going on.

by Jack
...it's also the second best comic book movie of the year and arguably the best origin story film that we've got from these movies so far, right there with Batman Begins and Iron Man. As for the news, brilliant and inspired casting, I trust Webb will make with the sequel what Dark Knight did for Batman Begins and Batman's mythos. Let's just hope that Webb won't screw up like Nolan did with TDKR. As for Kidd... fuck him. Seriously, worst AICN staff member of all time. I seriously never understood why he was hired in the first place. Bring Mori back, Harry. You know you both want to.

I'm the biggest Spidey fan around, and my Blu copy of TASM is still sitting on my shelf in its original wrapping. I was completely underwhelmed at the theater, but still was compelled to buy it (again, biggest Spidey fan around). But I've just no interest in watching it again. I've watched AVENGERS again (for the 20th time) since I bought TASM, so it's not like I haven't had the time! The Spidey Movie-verse is in a sad state of affairs. I just can't get up the energy to care who's playing Harry or Electro. Bring on Iron Man 3 and the rest of Phase II!

I think Dehaan is an outstanding choice. No more weird Franco smirks around this sequel.

Chronicle was a very pleasant surprise partially due to Dehaan. I think he'll bring some pathos, pity, and all out creepiness to this part as the series progresses. I wonder who'll play Norman now, as Willem Dafoe is a tough creep to beat. What's Christopher Walken got planned?

Watched ASM a few weeks ago...
by Eli_Cash
on DVD. I figured I was going to be slightly wrong and it would at least be somewhat watchable. Nope. It sucked. Both the teen drama/romance storyline and the superhero storyline felt half-assed, and it really didn't feel like I was watching an adaptation of Spider-man at all. It barely even felt like a real movie. That 45 minute mashup of trailer footage that came out a few weeks before the theatrical release felt no less coherent than this crap. No scene had any sense of significance to it. Not when Parker gets his powers, not when Ben gets killed, not when Gwen discovers that Parker is Spider-man. Shit just kinda happens, and the characters roll with it, like they know exactly what they're supposed to do, like they've been living this way forever. I'm no fan of the Raimi movies, not even the second one. But those at least felt like adaptations of Spider-man, and what's more they felt like REAL movies. Like someone was trying to tell a story in a way that resonated with an audience. I think ASM has to be the worst big-budget comic book adaptation ever. Worse even that Spider-man 3.

- Gnocchi
- 1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
- 3 pounds orange-flesh sweet potatoes (often labeled
- 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- About 3 cups flour
- Assembly
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup sliced shallots
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms such as chanterelle, cremini, king trumpet, matsutake, and oyster*
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 1. Make gnocchi: Drain ricotta in a strainer over sink, stirring occasionally, 1 hour.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups sweet- potato purée (save extra for another use), strained ricotta, sugar, cheese, salt, and nutmeg. Gently stir in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- 3. Working on a floured surface, divide dough into 8 portions. Roll each portion with your hands into a 15-in. rope, then cut into 1-in. pieces, sprinkling dough with flour if it gets sticky. Transfer gnocchi to a rimmed tray lightly dusted with flour.
- 4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Working in batches of 15 to 20, drop gnocchi into water, stirring to prevent sticking, and cook until gnocchi are firm and float to top of water, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a strainer and then to a lightly oiled rimmed pan to cool.
- 5. Assemble gnocchi: Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi to pan and cook, stirring often, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large serving dish.
- 6. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tbsp. oil in a second large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, butter, spinach, salt, and pepper; cover and cook until spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.
- 7. Spoon vegetables over gnocchi and pour in broth. Sprinkle with thyme and half of parmesan. Serve with remaining cheese.
- *Leave whole any soft mushrooms such as oysters and slice or quarter large, dense mushrooms like the cremini and king trumpets.
- Make ahead: Prepare through step 3. Cover and chill up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 weeks.

HOT (totally adult) Excerpt Ahead:
An invisible force lifted her higher on the tree with her arms over her head and her legs spread. Darius only rubbed a single finger over her clit before her pussy started dripping and twitching in anticipation.
"I love how quickly your body reacts for me."
She started to reply but an involuntary moan left her when Darius inserted one finger into her hot hole. Her inner muscles clenched around his intrusion. She wanted to move her hips, to feel more, but Darius's spell made that difficult.
He curved his finger inside her and beckoned while rolling her clit between two fingers. Medusa couldn't help her sounds of pleasure. Trying to hold back her reaction turned the sounds into whimpers.
"As you wish." Darius added another finger to the one caressing her hole.
She hadn't even realized she had spoken aloud until he responded to her. She didn't want another finger. Her pussy ached deeper than fingers could reach. Even if Darius's fingers had her body drooling hot, slick liquid that made squishing noises each time he moved his hand forward, it wasn't enough.
"Tell me what you want, Medusa."
"Free me," she said between pants. She strained against the spell holding her to the tree. If she could get loose, she could take what she wanted.
Darius grinned at her. "I like you like this. And that's not what you really want." He pinched her clit.
Medusa bit back a scream of pleasure as she glared at Darius. Through her teeth, she said, "Free me now or you'll regret it later."
"Do you promise?"
Medusa flashed her fangs at him and growled. "Free me."
"No." He pinched her clit again.
This time Medusa did scream. Everything felt hot, too hot, yet her body didn't have what it wanted. She needed more. "Damn you! Free me!"
He only laughed at her. "Tell me what you want. I'll touch you any way you like. You simply have to tell me what to do."
Tears of frustration stung her eyes. She wanted his dick. She wanted his mouth. The overwhelming urge for release almost had her begging him to do anything so long as she came. Her pride wouldn't let her utter a word.
"You were much more honest as a human. You had no problem telling me what you wanted. I always gave you exactly what you asked of me. Do you remember?"

Riding a scooter in the rain sucks; it's not a fun experience, especially without the proper rain coat. Most people around here wear the kind you can buy for a couple bucks at 7-11, it's plastic, it's bright yellow, and it's one size "fits" all. I was tired of looking like a big yellow taxi and stumbled across the Typhoon Jacket.

Keeping Warm While Traveling
Those of us in the northern hemisphere are starting to bundle up as fall turns into winter and we switch our t-shirts for jackets and sweaters. Packing cold weather clothes can be a pain because they take up so much room in your bag, but if you pick the right layers it makes the process much easier.
ExOfficio Storm Logic Women's Sweater Jacket Review
Before I left for my most recent European sojourn, I knew I needed a nice lightweight jacket that I could layer and that wouldn't take up too much room in my backpack. I have North Face and Marmot fleece jackets, but I wanted something waterproof and more versatile.
The North Face Women's Triclimate Jacket Review
Before I left for Australia, I owned several heavy winter coats but no lightweight jackets for cool mornings, windy days, and the rain. The North Face Triclimate jacket caught my eye, and the moment I tried it on, I knew it would be a great permanent addition to my packing list.
