Strawbs 'n' such[edit]
Hi Witchwooder, I see you recently made a mod to the Jade Warrior article. Glyn Havard is a relative of mine. Then you've made a million mods to Strawbs articles. I was just talking to those guys a couple of months ago. Dave Lambert was saying that US Customs was giving Chas Cronk a hard time about the extra strings he was carrying because they can be used to strangle somebody. (I think I'm remembering that story correctly.) Varlaam 23:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC) (in Toronto)
- Hi Varlaam, yes I made lots of edits to correct the "Electric bass" links on various pages (like your relative, I'm a bass player too!). lol re strawbs story - the guys are very approachable aren't they? I spoke to Chas after an acoustic strawbs gig - a very nice and unassuming gent - not the type to go in for murder! Witchwooder 07:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I was interested in this edit you made to the Strawbs article. In what way is " England" superior to "England"? WP:FLAG is a well-developed essay which explains more about why such use of flags is unhelpful. --John 19:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I would emphasise that WP:FLAG is not (yet) policy, but, while I like flags very much, I have found that their use in instances like this engenders nationalistic edit warring which far outweighs any small aesthetic contribution to articles. Best wishes, --John 19:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Isle of Man railways[edit]
Hi, I saw your question in the archives of the UK Railways Wikiproject. There is currently a discussion about coverage on the talk page of that project. Mjroots (talk) 10:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
re IoM templates[edit]
No problem. Have you seen the Manx Northern Railway article? Mjroots (talk) 20:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Railway templates[edit]
Hi, I've seen your comments on the MNR article's talk page. Will address those there.
With reference to only using blue for metro or light railway systems, I was not aware that this was set in stone, and was being 'bold by using the different colours for different things. See the Réseau des Bains de Mer article for an extreme example. As long as a legend is included so that is is obvious what each colour represents there shouldn't be a problem. Michael. Mjroots (talk) 11:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Corris Station plan[edit]
Hi Witchwooder, yes the Corris Station plan was my own work created using Visio. I'm using OmniGraffle for my more recent maps, I've switched over to OmniGraffle. Best, Gwernol 10:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Rock music WikiProject[edit]
I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Rock music WikiProject. There's alot of Rock-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 08:54, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice[edit]
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Angband (band)[edit]
Hello sir, I created an article about Angband, but It was deleted. once the creator claimed they are the first metal band from Iran to sign a deal with a European records company but didnt have enough sources, I have many sources like: www.lordsofmetal.nl , www.stormbringer.at , www.localradio.pehzeh.net www.metal-rules.com and their album has a good feedback, I created a page in my sandbox: User:Spada2/Sandbox would you please take a look at it and the question I have: can I create the page not mentioning the first band thing due to their positive feedbacks? Thanks in advance --Spada2 (talk) 06:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not sure that I'm really qualified to answer this question! My advice would be to be bold and publish your article - but first take a look at some articles about heavy metal bands to get some ideas about formatting and linking them. Also address the issues raised in the previous speedy deletion message. If you've not already done so, talk to a few more wikimusic contributors first as well. Best of luck! Witchwooder (talk) 07:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
West Cheshire Railway[edit]
Hello Witchwooder!
Thank you for your kind reply to the new article - sorry if I 'trespassed' onto your territory! I just happened to notice the gap in coverage of the lines in Cheshire! I also noticed the good article on the Winsford & Over line, which you initiated. I sometimes think it's possible to have a 'good un' on a smaller more maneagable subject, as one can cover the ground in more detail than for say the LNWR! Having said that, the CLC article needs a fair amount of attention. Will try as time permits.
Please don't hesitate to improve the WCR article in any way you see fit. Collaboration is always beneficial. In particular, I do not have the skills to prepare a line diagram, or to do anything other than provide 'straight narrative'.
I note your interest in the Corris Railway. Must confess to having driven past it en route to Machynlleth for a steam trip on the Cambrian Coast, but didnt stop as it was not an open day. Will try to fit in a proper visit next year.
Regards RuthAS
Oops - forgot the 'tildes'! RuthAS (talk) 10:54, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
The 'W & O' article almost merits an upgrading from Start-Class. To justify this, could you add a few more 'in-text' references, giving specific page numbers from your Bibliography? If necessary, refer to the WCR piece for ideas. RuthAS (talk) 11:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
If you will add some more in-text references I will upgrade your W&O article from 'Start Class' RuthAS (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Middlewich railway station[edit]
Hi Witchwooder! I've only just seen your note re the "Beeching Axe". I've checked with a reliable reference source, and find that you're right - he was not appointed as BRB chairman until 1962. Will remember that - and delete reference from the article. Thanks for 'sorting me out' on that one! RuthAS (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome Ruth - Beeching is an overly maligned figure in my opinion - Marples was the real villain! Best Witchwooder (talk) 08:27, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Witchwooder, I have been puzzling over this problem recently, and this is my not particularly elegant solution for Landscape's album From the Tea-rooms of Mars .... Memphisto (talk) 19:05, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Hero and Heroine Album[edit]
sorry if i came a lil late, i just saw your comment in the template tracklist article, so i came here in case you might never get to see my comment.
Anyways, i just wanted to ask if it's 3 versions of the same song in one track , or just 3 different tracks with the the same name, only different version. if so, then you can easily place that in tracklist format.Bread Ninja (talk) 16:05, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hi thanks for your posting. I was trying to accomodate sections within a song. Another example would be the song "Supper's Ready" on Genesis's Foxtrot album. That song has a number of sections within it. In that article a different approach has been used. In the Court of the Crimson King shows yet another method. My point was that the template doesn't offer a simple and consistent way of displaying this sort of info. Best Witchwooder (talk) 08:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
for foxtrot, i'm not so sure. put only the inforamtion that it's suppose to have, if there are other versions or included in other media, than it's nto necessary to add u nless it relates to that very article.
as for In the Court of the Crimson King, i see various names, look up which one did the lyrics, the music, and the writing in order to place them in such. there's also extra for sections that are usefulBread Ninja (talk) 19:23, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Sheila Chandra[edit]
Hi, I see you were a major contributor to Third Eye (album) and I was wondering if you would like to help me with Chandra, Steve Coe, Indipop Records, etc? I'm trying to update and complete the topic. - Stillwaterising (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, I will help as much as I can but, apart from owning the CD's, I know very little! Best Witchwooder (talk) 09:04, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- That helps a lot actually because you should have access to the liner notes. I need an accounting of what role Smith and Coe play in Sheila Chandra's solo career. I've been informed that the Ganges Orchestra was formed in part because those two musicians were forbidden to play with Chandra because of contractual concerns with their former label Phonogram (aka Polygram/Mercury). - Stillwaterising (talk) 11:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Simple question: What are your three favorite culinary related books?
I've seen various TV shows where a health inspector uses a device to measure the cleanliness of a kitchen surface.
Does anyone know about where these devices can be found?
Simple question: What are your three favorite culinary related books?
My current top three for the foods I'm working with now:
The Flavor Bible
Crust and Crumb
But for the emotional punch of wonderful memories, and the world of cooking just starting to open:
The Joy of Cooking - my mom's main reference, and my first cookbook
Time-Life world cookbook series (especially France and Germany) - for adventures with my mom and sister
Beard on Bread - early steps alone on a lifelong passionate exploration of plain, old bread
Interesting, thanks Chef. That sounds like a good item for my somday list.
1. The Flavor Bible
2. The Louisiana Kitchen
#3 is up in the air I could go with the Joy of Cooking, The Best Recipes........... I just don't know!
1. Ratio - Michael Ruhlman
This book completely revolutionized the way that I cook and think about cooking. Everything can be broken down into 3 sheets of paper. Everything.
2. The Bread Baker's Apprentice - Peter Reinhart
It takes you into the science of baking bread as well as providing a ton of recipes.
3. On Food and Cooking - Harold McGee
This is literally the culinary dictionary of exactly what is happening to food, and why it happens. Want to know the science behind cheese melting, he has the answer. What are the different thickening properties of flour, cornstarch, etc. It has the specifics. Any time you have a question of why something happens, it's in there.
AS a Physics major at Cambridge England, I love Ruhlman's quantified appoach.
Michael Ruhlman, Ratio.
As a bread and butter lover, Peter Reinhart's, Bread Baker's Apprentice.
Again for science, McGee
Why 3... why not 4? I might not be able to survive without Michel Suas' Complete Bread and Pastry.
I have many cookbooks. The top 3, my "go to" books, are:
1. Jaques Pepin's Complete Techniques
2. Culinary Artistry
3. Larousse Gastronomique
I like many of the others but...
My favorite book is 300 years of Carolina cooking but am hoping to recieve a copy of the professional Chef for Christmas
Does "Modernist Cuisine" count as one book?
What is it about modernist cuisine that makes it worth $450? That's quite an investment.
I recently got a copy of "On Food and Cooking" and Love it...but haven't been diving into it much since I'm busy aborbing all of the content here. I have Rhulman's "Ratio's" on my wish list and based on feedback here I'll be moving it up on the list. :-)
One of the highest rated books on Amazon I've been looking at is "On Cooking" by Labensky. I find it interesting it's highly rated there but not mentioned here. Does anyone have any feedback on this book? Is it worth the high price of $90?
Any thoughts about The Professional Chef, from the C.I.A.? I just bought this text and started to get into it. Thanks
We have a copy of "Modernist Cuisine" in the cooking school kitchen at my store. I have been working my way through it when I can. Gonna to pick up my own very soon. I love the science aspect of it. As i have never taken any culinary classes, it is a resource that makes me feel like i am learning about what goes on while I cook. The book and the Stella culinary podcasts together have really changed the way I approach cooking. Now I feel more like I can move outside of recipes and kind fix some things when they go wrong.
The other two books?
Well Jim Lahey's "My Bread" has really helped me up my bread baking game. It has inspired me to try different flour combinations and loading some breads with different ingredients such as roasted red peppers.
Third is my mother's copy of the "Betty Crocker Cookbook". Of course the cookbook itself is pretty basic and is recipe focused as opposed to technique focused, but it has 25 years worth of my mother's notes, changes, thoughts on recipes, and "recipe grades" scribbled all over inside. That has been very helpful indeed.
Of course the "Modernist Cuisine" cookbook is all but forcing me to pick up a Sous Vide Supreme which is gonna seriously compromise my free counterspace, so the book is not all fun and games. :P
I get all of my recipes online nowadays. Or I use a cooking app on my iPad.
La Technique
The Flavor Bible
Larousse Gastronomique
If I can add a 4th it would definitely be the Professional Chef. There is now an app on the Ipad for The Professional Chef. It is outstanding
1. Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison- this book has taught me a great deal about coaxing flavor out of ingredients we take for granted without relying on flavor rich meats.
2. The Professional Chef by Culinary Institute of America- my go-to book for basic techniques that aren't dumbed down.
3. Mexico One Plate at a Time by Rick Bayless- great resource for REAL mexican cooking, not the Americanized flour tortilla/ refried bean/ giant stuffed burrito we're used to.
3.1 The Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan- basically the same book as above for Italian cooking.
I recently picked up The Art of Roasting and The Art of Braising, both by Molly Stevens. Both excellent books on two of my favorite cooking techniques.
1. The Louisiana Kitchen (my copy is a mess from years of overuse!)
2. Wenzel's Menu Maker (encyclopedia of recipes with servings of 25, 50 and 100, great for planning events)
3. True Thai: The Modern Art of Thai Cooking
Hands down.
Culinary Artistry.
Larousse Gastronomique
Chez Jacque.
I really only have two cooking books
Sauces by James Peterson
and Culinary Artistry
I have been thinking about getting On Food and Cooking but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
It's not exactly a cooking book but What to Drink with What you Eat is really good for planning a complete meal. It is by the same authors as culinary artistry
1. Thomas Keller's The French Laundry Cookbook
2. Modernist Cuisine, like others have mentioned. I have the "At Home" version. I haven't really gotten into it yet, but the content seems fascinating.
3. Herbs & Spices: The Cook's Reference by Jill Norman
There's a whole interesting world of herbs and spices out there to explore, and most cooks, including myself, neglect it too often, besides the ones we're comfortable using and combining.
Good Morning Jacob,
Wow, this is a very difficult question ... I house almost 500 in English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French and one in German.
I shall state, that by breaking them down in categories:
1) The Flavour Bible
2) Larousse Gastronomique
1) The Culinaria Series ( available in English from Amazon ); this series contains, products produced, traditional recipes, historical and geographical data with maps all in color, on each product, wonderfully informative breakdown of each and every region and stunning photographs. I have Italia, Spain, Greece and France; Mexico & South America and the Caribbean ...
The series consists of 12, including Asia, North America, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and is extraordinaire for background research and authentic recipes of each region.
2) Author: Michelle Scicolone for Italian
I am quite a fan of Jaime Oliver´s Mediterranean Cookbook, Gordon Ramsey´s 365 Days A Year Menus, Chef José Andrés and Basque Chef Karlos Arguiñano for Spanish regional who is the presenter of a tv programme which is on Rtve Antena 3 T.V. and can be seen online in Spanish only, The Kerasma Organization for Greek Classics, Julia Child and Michel Bras for French and French Techniques and Jacques Pepin´s numerous editions.
Though, as we probably all could, go on and on ...
Have lovely weekend,
I've seen various TV shows where a health inspector uses a device to measure the cleanliness of a kitchen surface.
Does anyone know about where these devices can be found?
Hello! Nice to meet you all, my name's Rose and I'm new here! :)
Is there an updated link to take the quiz for the knife skills podcast? There was one given in the comments section of the podcast, but it is a broken link
Hi I had succes The first time I watch the video on sourdough starter and how to make a boule, it must have been a fluke as now 2 and half weeks of trying and almost 4kgs of flour later I cannot get my starter to float, I told 2 of my friends about the videos and they have been trying for a week and they havent been able to make the starter float either, 2 of us are using filtered water and 1 is using rain water so I doubt if its the water, we are in winter in Melbourne Australia so the temp inside the house is min 8c max 19c weve all been following the instructions closely, Ive even tried
For a while, I've wanted to experiment with a "Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread." Given how well the Brioche Hamburger Buns have turned out, with all their buttery goodness, I'm considering using Jacob's Brioche loaf recipe as a starting point.
I have googled around for existing "Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread" recipes, but most of them seem just to swirl the peanut butter and jelly into the dough, producing something that would be difficult to slice, toast and handle.

1994 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Yes, FIFA 15 will have a Transfer Market
Don't worry: FIFA 15 will have a Transfer Market, even though rumourmongers believe it eats into EA's profit lines.
FIFA 15 will continue to support player trades via a Transfer Market – despite recent rumours to the contrary.
FIFA community manager Robb Hodson confirmed the news in an EASports forum post, saying there will be a (working!) web app as well.
This post dates back to early June but was recently highlighted by YouTuber AJ3Fifa in a video discussing the pros and cons of the Transfer Market from EA Sports' perspective.
The video presents strong arguments for why EA Sports would be mad to ruin player fun – and the revenue of its many, many hardcore fans – by closing the Transfer Market. Take a look below if you have doubts thank to persistent rumours to the contrary.
FIFA 15 is coming to PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in September.
Thanks, Gameranx.

Dirty old man fantasies about degrading Lolita-esque bimbos actualized ? uh, not recommended as a date movie.
The sound is absent from the review copy, but maybe that's a good thing. Yep, this tape is filthy, perverted stuff. Rude anal stuffings, smeared lipstick, and footsie with a slippery cock are all fine and well, but check up on your community standards as Max slaps Gia around a bit. Max breaches all the holes of these poor little "schoolgirls" and roughly fingers Rita, poking her vaginal and anal cavities so that the walls of one compartment pop out through the other adjacent orifice. Because Rita spits out copious amounts of clear, watery liquid, it looked like Max pissed into Rita's mouth, but the editing makes the pissing seem ambiguous.

Blackout Shades & Blinds
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov has been suspended four games for elbowing Boston's Brad Marchand, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Thursday.
Volchenkov, who had a phone hearing with league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on Thursday morning, hit Marchand with an elbow in the second period of Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Bruins, a play that earned him a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
Marchand, who went down on the play and had to be helped off the ice, did not return to the game.
Volchenkov, who has been suspended before for elbowing Carolina's Zach Boychuk back in February 2011, will forfeit $91,891.88, per the rules of the collective bargaining agreement.
The 31-year-old Volchenkov will not be eligible to return until the last week of the regular season on April 21, when the Devils face the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
In a video explaining the decision, Shanahan described the elbow to Marchand as "reckless" and said Volchenkov was "fully responsible for the outcome."
Following practice Thursday, Volchenkov sounded prepared to face a suspension. He admitted that the hit probably looked bad but said he did not intend to injure Marchand.
"I was not trying to hurt him," Volchenkov said, explaining that he was trying to play the puck after taking a hit.
Volchenkov expressed remorse for putting his team in a bad situation.
The Devils may be down two defensemen when they host the slumping Ottawa Senators on Friday night.
While Volchenkov will be serving the suspension, captain Bryce Salvador may be unavailable as well.
The veteran defenseman was hit on the wrist by a shot from Boston's Zdeno Chara during the second period and did not return to the game. Although the Devils said Thursday that Salvador's X-rays came back negative, his return is still unclear.
Salvador is considered day-to-day.

Why Barbie isn't Welcome in Our Home
There have been many debates about one of the World's most iconic toys, Barbie. However, I feel there is no stronger argument than the one I am about to make here.
|Barbie by Mike Mozart via CC 2.0
Sure, I could discuss the controversy of the latest Sports Illustrated cover or delve further into her unrealistic body and how it is harming the self esteem of young girls. I could even go into the anti-feminist culture she is perpetuating with her pink everything and girled up version of normal careers. I could even turn these arguments around and contend that Barbie's are aimed as "girl" toys. That can damaging to boys as well, who should be welcome to play with Barbie too.
But alas, none of these points will matter after this:
This Barbie doll comes complete with her pooch Taffy, a pink heart embellished pooper scooper and freaking dog shit! Taffy even has karate chop like pooping action. When I first saw this commercial I had to check and make sure I didn't accidentally change the channel to SNL or something. I rewound it, watched it again, and then called my husband into the room to see for himself and confirm I wasn't hallucinating. I was not. I mean, in the word's of Mattel themselves, anything is possible, but really?
So let me break down why this Barbie isn't welcome in our house.
I Need No More Poop In My Life
I have a two year old, three dogs, and a husband who luckily has his own bathroom. I am constantly dealing with poop between swishing a dirty cloth diaper in the toilet and hand-bagging a lawn sausage. I do not need to then deal with plastic poop. My poop quota is all full.
Poop Play is Generally Discouraged
Kids are impressionable and curious beings. I don't need my son thinking poop is a toy. I also don't need him thinking he can magically make the dogs dispense their own poop toys at his control. We just learned the "don't put your finger in the dog's butt" lesson, so let's not draw attention back to that area.
My Dogs are Tortured Enough
Just living with a toddler is a hard enough on a pet. They are constantly chased, ridden, yelled at, and subjected to other tactics that seem straight out of a Gitmo prison. They do not need this toy to fuel my toddler's antics in any way.
I Just Cannot
Really. I could not handle this toy in my home. I have not done enough kegels to keep from wetting myself every time my child pulled out this Barbie play set. I cannot believe this toy made it past the Mattel big wigs and onto the shelves. I also can't believe it's not even on sale on Amazon.
Speaking of which, if you still aren't on board with my arguments against Barbie Potty Training Taffy Barbie Doll and Pet {Amazon affiliate link} you can purchase it here from Amazon yourself or just look at the the hilarious product description.

Iain Dale loses out on Tory candidature for Bracknell
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
So I presume they'll just try to parachute him into another constituency to which he has no connection?
Oh do shut up you vile little hypocritical man – it isn't as if you don't write for the Daily Mail and General Trust owned newspapers and weren't complaining little more than a week ago that Downing Street admitting that Gordon Brown had a problem with his good eye had spiked your article for the following day's Sunday Mail.
Thank goodness the fine citizens of Bracknell had more sense that to select that blubbing imbecile.
Dale's accusation – that the Mail describing him as 'overtly gay' had hindered his chances – would only hold water if Tory voters were already homophobic; so I'm glad he acknowledges the true nature of the Tory party. And I love how indignant he is at the Daily Mail's homophobia. It's not as if they've been printing anti-gay articles for decades, is it?
This really does piss me off – no connection with an area. How does one go from Norfolk to Bracknell? I would NEVER vote for anyone who had no local connection with the area its insulting.
So Howard took 44 attempts to get a selection? Not do do with being Jewish, was it?
A Thatcherite, neoliberal freemarketeer (and gay) friend of mine (yes, we had big rows!) was appalled when he found that his local Tory party members weren't just rooting for the global capitalism he loved. He discovered some very nasty social attitudes, including towards himself.
Ah! Die another Day like Mr Bond!
I haven't words to describe the insignificant extent of my disappointment.
I say, I say. I say, My dustbin is absolutley full of Lillys. Why don't I throw them out then? Cos Lilly's wearing them!
Iain will be selected for somewhere. It is still heartening to know that, as Ben Summerskill of Stonewall recently said, there will more likely be more LGBT MPs on the Conservative benches than Labour or the Lib Dems after the next election! A victory for LGBT people everywhere I'd say!

Wheat Workshop, Saturday July 27th 9am-11am
We have been growing wheat on a small scale and harvesting by hand for several years. For the past few years, we have been trialling heritage varieties, to determine which varieties do best in our location and how the characteristics of the varieties are different. We have about two dozen varieties in our field this year. In this workshop we will look at growing wheat from planting to harvesting, looking at simple techniques that work in our climate. We will discuss our hand methods and simple machines that can speed things up. We will also look at our variety trials, and discuss the benefits to heritage varieties.
Workshop fee: suggested donation $10-$20
Wheat Harvest, Saturday July 27th 11am-5pm (weather permitting ? check here for rain dates as the date approaches)
Join us for an old-fashioned wheat harvest. Using sickles and scythes, we will harvest our field of heritage wheat by hand. Following age old practices, we will reap the stalks and bind them into sheaves, which will then be shocked. If some varieties are mature enough, we may also do some threshing and winnowing. Bring a picnic lunch. There will be ways for all ages and abilities to be involved.

We had a heavy, wet snow over night. I woke up, looked outside and what I saw made me cringe. 4' of my 10' tall Southern Magnolia was laying on the ground, buried in snow. It literally made me sick. Can I make rooted cuttings from it? Is it the type that can be propagated by cuttings? Or can I attach it back like a graft? Main trunk 1 1/2 inch diameter where broken. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much!

Sam Linsell shares here take on Yotam Ottolenghi's cauliflower cake with our very own Huguenot on her blog drizzleanddip.com. Yum! http://drizzleanddip.com/2016/05/31/yotam-ottolenghis-cauliflower-cake
We felt so proud when we received these tasting notes from Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine in Hilton, KZN, we just had to share this with you … "I just wanted to thank you for sending me tasters of your world class cheese. What a treat." {Huguenot} This really got my tongue excited and got my tongue moving quickly around my mouth on a search for more deliciousness. I often find my tongue does this with a fabulously memorable wines as well. This was perfectly balanced with a salty and savouriness. That buttery richness-almost caramelised/condensed flavour will not leave my palate history soon. This took me back to France.
