We love eggplant, and enjoy it in a variety of dishes, including 'swooning imam'- or stuffed eggplant, and of course baba ganoush. Recently we added another easy recipe which is absolutely delicious: Marinated Grilled Eggplant! After grilling thin slices of eggplant on the barbeque, marinate in 0.5 cup olive oil mixed with 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, a good couple of cloves of garlic crushed or minced and some herbs like parsley and basil. Leave it for a couple of hours before serving as part of your antipasta. Leftovers make excellent additions to sandwiches and rolls.
Cashews with Kaffir Lime Leaves
Fry about 10 kaffir lime leaves with some chilli flakes in a some olive oil for about 2 minutes until the leaves are crisp. Put aside in a mortar.
Use the flavoured oil to pour over about a cup of unsalted cashews, and roast them in the oven at 180 degrees C for about 15-20 minutes -watch that they don't burn!
With your mortar and pestle, crush the leaves and add salt.
Sprinkle over the cashews when they come out of the oven. As they cool the cashews will crisp up.
Serve with drinks -and enjoy.
In 2008 this cake was a firm favourite. Still is!
Lemon and Poppyseed cake -see the recipe here
Sweet Potato Hummus
Replace the chick peas in your favourite hummus recipe with roasted sweet potato, and add some zest of a lemon or lime for a lovely change of flavour which will be welcomed by those (like me) whose digestion finds chick peas difficult.
Cream of Anything Soup Mix
I found this on a website or forum somewhere, but I am not sure where!
1 cup of powdered milk
2 tablespoons of cornstarch (cornflour in Australia)
2 tablespoons of chicken or veggie stock powder (or dried mushrooms, celery leaves etc)
Half a teaspoon dried basil
Half a teaspoon thyme
One quarter of a teaspoon of black pepper
Keep this mix in a jar and use it to make a soup like this :
Saute whatever veggies you have on had -eg cauliflower, pumpkin, mushrooms, celery until soft, or use leftover cooked veg. Add just enough water to cover, then add one third of a cup of the mix. Cook whilst stirring. Blend with a stick blender.
Scones -from an old and much loved and stained Wembley Downs Primary School recipe book
In a bowl combine 1 cup of cream with 2-3 eggs (depends on size of eggs), a generous tablespoon of sugar and 1 cup of milk. Stir in 3-4 cups of SR flour which has been sifted. Make a wet dough and turn out onto a floured board. Shape with your hands into a flat circle about 4 cm thick and cut scones with a cutter or knife.
Bake on parchment paper in a very hot oven (230 degrees) for about 11 minutes.
These freeze well. When you take them out of the oven you can defrost for about 10 seconds in the microwave, but for best results warm under the grill for a minute or so.
LSA Bread
370 mls tepid water
1.5 Tablespoons olive oil
0.5 cup Linseed Almond Meal and Sesame seed mix (sold as LSA in supermarkets)
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 Tablespoons brown sugar
320 g plain bread flour
220 g wholemeal plain flour
1.5 teaspoons yeast
I make my bread in a stand mixer with a dough hook, starting with the liquid ingredients. Weigh everything, even the water. In winter it is worth warming the flour in a very low oven until, when you stir it with your hand, the flour does not feel cool anymore.
Mix on very low for about a minute, then on a slow speed for 5 minutes.
Oil a bowl and tip the dough into it. Add a plate upside down on top -it doesn't hurt to have oiled the plate too, and even in winter you can warm the bowl and the plate first. Then you leave it for about 2 hours until the dough has an even surface and has risen about twice as big as the dough you first tipped in. You need a warm space for this to happen -put it in front of a sunny window, in an oven you had on low and then turned off, in an esky after you lined it with a towel.
After two hours tip the dough onto a floured surface and give it a bit of a knead with your hands for about 2 minutes. Shape the dough with your hands and put it into an oiled loaf pan.
Now you need to keep it both warm and moist for about 30 minutes or so: a big plastic box is good. It is about this time I put the oven on as hot as it can go -about 250C. When the dough has reached about 2cm beyond the lip of the loaf pan, it gets a quick snip with my kitchen scissors on top to make some 'expansion joints". Then in the hot oven for 15 minutes and then cook further at 180-200 degrees for 25 minutes.
It is done when it smells like bread, and when you tip the bread out of the tin and tap it, is sounds like a drum.
Yes it is tempting to eat it warm but it needs to cool completely before you eat it. Bread needs to steam and cool!
Sourdough bread
For this recipe you need a sourdough starter. Here is how I made mine -from following this link
350mls tepid water
150 g starter at 100% hydration
600 g flour (plain or a mix of plain and wholemeal)
1 T oil
1 teaspoon salt
Follow method for breadmaking as above, in the LSA loaf. Recently I have been making free form loaves, which are a lot of fun.
December 2017 update:
I have had great results from starting my mix as described above -after dinner the night before. I leave it to prove overnight in a bowl on the bench, with an oiled plate on top. By morning I have a dough which has completely filled the bowl. I give it a light kneading, just enough to make it look and handle like dough again, and put it in the banneton. Then I cook it UNDER A DOME -I use the covered roaster that I own - for 35 minutes at 240C. Take the lid off after that and cook for a further 15 minutes. This gives the bread more time to rise in the oven before the crust sets, so you get a lighter airy loaf, with a thin crisp crust.
Bean dip.
Drain a can of bean mix and rinse well. Add the juice of a lemon and one or two crushed garlic cloves. Blend well.
Spicy feta dip.
This is salty and spicy and I bet you can't stop when you have tried it.
Take about a 100 g of feta and mash it roughly. Add to that about two large tablespoons of sour cream. one half teaspoon of vinegar and one half teaspoon of olive oil. Add about a half a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes. Mix.
Turkey legs 3 ways
This is soup made from turkey stock and potatoes, sweet potatoes and cauliflour. I used the stick blender before serving.
I bought some turkey legs because they were cheap -anything under $10 a kilo interests me. There were three in the pack. I googled a recipe and put them in the slow cooker with smoked paprika, fresh herbs including parsley, fennel and thyme, and we ate them for dinner the first night with a rice and vegetable warm salad base.
There was quite a lot of stock and meat left over from dinner. We saved the meat and put the bones back in the slow cooker and cooked overnight.
The next night DH made a risotto with the strongly flavoured stock, and added some of the turkey meat as well as frying a chorizo sausage to add to the meal. DH is our risotto maker and it is always good, but this time it was exceptional.
The third meal was a TLT for each of us for lunch: Turkey, Lettuce and Tomato toasted sandwiches with aoli
All of this was so tasty and cheap! Any time I see turkey legs on sale I will buy more.
Sun dried tomato dip
I used half a jar of sun dried tomatoes. (I buy these in quantities-they are so useful!)
I used half a tub of sour cream (I buy the cheapest no name brand. Don't worry too much about the use by date either-it lasts at least several weeks beyond it)
I handful of dried onion flakes-I would . say at least a tablespoon (I buy these from a bulk supply shop).
Whizz everything together, put in a serving dish and put in the fridge for about an hour to let the onions rehydrate, and in so doing soak up some of the liquid in this dish, and serve with fresh home made bread or chopped fresh vegetables.
Roasted Capsicum, Tomato and Pumpkin Soup
I had about two cups of chicken stock, which had been made in my small $16 from the supermarket slow cooker -one of the best things I ever bought - with the leftover bones of 6 chicken legs. To this I added a tin of tomatoes and 5 roasted capsicums. I buy huge jars or tins of these roasted capsicums from the bulk shop and freeze them in small portions. I then added a handful of cauliflower florets and stems -the remains in the fridge of a whole one I had been using up. I added quite a decent wedge of pumpkin cut into bits and peeled of course. After about 20 minutes I blitzed it all with my stick blender -and it was absolutely delicious.
A variation of this -instead of the cauliflower and pumpkin you can add a tin of chickpeas or some beans well drained. I have done this too and it is nice. The pumpkin adds some sweetness of course.
If you have any cream or sour cream you can swirl that through as you serve.
Brown Rice Salad
Cook brown rice and add to it any vegetables you have on hand. Steamed broccoli is popular around here, but you could add chopped spring onions too, with tomatoes and celery as well. It helps a lot to add sesame seeds and toasted cashews and chopped mint , but the big transformative element is the right dressing. Here is our current favourite: mi x together 2 tspns sesame oil, 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tspn grated ginger, 1 Tablespoon tahini,
Autumn Harvest Soup
I harvested a small sweet potato and some tomatoes this morning. This is what resulted. It was amazing!
2. Fry in olive oil an onion and chopped garlic. Then add chopped carrots (3 or so). Fry for a few minutes and then add a heaped teaspoon of the Roasted Sri Lankan curry powder below and fry a minute or two longer until fragrant and everything is coated. This is the second magic -the curry powder is amazing here. It doesn't add much heat, so if you like you could add chopped chilli or chilli flakes.
3. Add about 500 mls of water -or any leftover casserole bits and bobs you have plus some water.
4. Tumble in the roasted veg and 1 tin of Roma tomatoes with its juice and simmer for 5 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
Blend with a stick blender and serve with sour cream. If you can eat it outside on a warm autumn afternoon you are a very blessed person indeed.
Roasted Sri Lankan curry powder
I wanted to make a Sri Lankan pumpkin curry so I made some Roasted Sri Lankan curry powder. It was fun and easy to make, and smelled absolutely amazing. I have to say that the supermarket staple Keen's curry is a dull alternative, now that I have the Sri Lankan curry.
It doesn't have any chilli, so if you like heat you add the curry powder and as much chilli as you like.
The curry powder uses all the things I had at home already! Coriander seeds, Cumin, Black peppercorns and Uncooked Rice, Mustard seeds, Cloves, Cardamom Seeds Fennel Seeds.
These recipes were popular around here. The curry powder was used again last night in a beef curry, to which I added garlic, ginger and chilli along with curry leaves from the garden. I also used some dried grapefruit skin, which adds a huge depth of flavour to any casserole, and the juice and zest of one lime.
Find all the instructions here for the curry powder.

BBC One legal drama Silk made a triumphant return last night (May 15), grabbing over 5.6 million viewers.
The Rupert Penry-Jones programme opened its second series with 5.63m (23.9%) in the 9pm hour, rising 300k on its premiere last February.
BBC One's dramas have enjoyed an impressive run of form in the previously-troublesome Tuesday peak time slot, with The Syndicate pulling in over 5m in the spring.
Silk's nearest competitor was ITV1's Dirty Britain, which interested just 2.82m (12%) and 205k on +1, not too far ahead of BBC Two's Great Ormond Street (2.02m/8.5%) and Channel 5's CSI (1.72m/7.3%).
Meanwhile, a CSI-themed night on 5 concluded with CSI: NY picking up 1.29m (7.5%) at 10pm. Elsewhere, The Town Taking on China had 1.38m (6.2%) for BBC Two in the 8pm hour.
Embarrassing Bodies took 2.04m (9.3%) for Channel 4 at 8pm (+1: 332k), then 900k (3.8%) watched Hidden Talent from 9pm (+1: 163k), and Sex, Lies and Rinsing Guys entertained 1.12m (6.9%) at 10pm (+1: 176k).
Overall, BBC One reigned victorious in primetime with 24.8% against ITV1's 12.4% (+1: 0.6%). BBC Two claimed third place with 7%, ahead of Channel 4's 5.8% (+1: 0.9%), and Channel 5's 5.1% (+1: 0.2%).
On the multichannels, Alcatraz rallied to 460k (2%) on Watch at 9pm.

Oh No! What If They See This?
To that I say, "So?"
I haven't divulged where I work, even though some people know. It doesn't say on my Facebook where I'm an employee. I didn't give names. I didn't even list branch locations.
Besides, what's the difference between posting on my blog and having a conversation with a co-worker within earshot of the manager about how pissed off all of this makes me? I wouldn't hesitate to do that--and maybe that's brash. I don't care. I just don't. I don't ever want to work someplace where I can't speak my mind about what is going on around me.
Between my boyfriend reading my journal and my friends and coworkers worrying about what I post on my blog, it's like I have no where to vent anymore. And, you know what? Fuck it. I'm saying what needs to be said, and I'm doing it in a way that isn't going to put anyone in the spotlight directly.
If Facebook or my blog is going to get me fired or keep me from getting a job, then apparently I wasn't the right fit for that job anyway. I wouldn't want a job like that.
So, here I am. Speaking my mind. And if you don't like it, don't read it.
I feel like this post needs to end with this awful and cliche line: I'm not here to make friends!
Ha! Now I feel like reality TV.

You have a point - you are not naming names or institutions and the situation is completely crappy. I would vent, too. You have to pretend like you don't know most of your readers or you'll never write anything real.

You're better than me at least. I complain about work sometimes on facebook with half of my co workers and my supervisor befriended....they don't really care though, lol, so I'm always in the clear unless I go against Hippa laws.

Huh. I thought I commented on this one. Maybe I *meant* to comment and then forgot? Anyway, I'm with you -- you wouldn't want to work for a company that would fire you over such things. Blech.
Anyway, best of luck RE: the new co-worker...

Respected Sir,
I really enjoy in your class and like the way you teach things.

Please take two hours class on wednesday day time. 2.30 to 4.30 1 hr lecture anotr hour tutorial. please sir if you can do so we will be greateful to you for the same.
August 8, 2010 at 10:26 am
Hello Sir 1 more thing i would like to suggest .
Sir, 50 marks for endsem are too much .
If you can make it of 35 and , 15 for quiz1,&15 for quiz 2 and 25 for midsem..
Or if u wish midsem of 30 and endsem of 40..
50 marks endsem will be too much sir, please look into the matter.
August 18, 2010 at 7:07 am
Sir, please don't take tutorial in your absence.
IN tutorial I think you are the best who can answer to our queries.
I personally feel that we don't learn from the tutorial if TAs take it.
It had happened earlier also.
Please i request you to not to have a tut this Friday as you are not there.instead have a tut on Wednesday morning or sometime later in your presence please sir.
August 29, 2010 at 3:29 pm
the quiz paper was an utter disgrace.
people who just mug up the solutions are goin to do extremely well in your course.
i think, u should come up with new questions.
to test our knowledge rather than memorising skills..
September 8, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Whosoever u are Mr random person, I think you did extremely poor in the quiz.
Please tell me even a single question which was not conceptual.
I did not do assignment and I just read notes and guess what am 1 amongst toppers.
Shut your mouth buddy!!
Sir, some people will keep complaining always.. please ignore this..

September 17, 2010 at 3:27 am
Dear Sir,
Midsem was infinite tough.
I did V Raghvan and even solved chapter 2 questions. but then also expecting not more than 10.
It says.. The eight chapter of the book is on diffusion. If you go through all the solved and unsolved problems in that chapter, you will be able to score 100% in the diffusion section of my exams.
I did it , but was not able to solve any question in exam confidently.
I think that we are thought less in class like D* was not thought and many such things, that too I prepared but ….
September 30, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Almost half of the class is not getting what are you trying to teach.
People attending lectures merely for the sake of attendance.
Please stop and revise whatever have been thought post midsem.
You can ask the class about this, I have surveyed amongst at least 20 students 18 of which unsatisfied.
Please take care of this and have a revision session.
November 21, 2010 at 5:16 am
can u please make it clear how much weightage will be for pre midsem.
And the course is looking very tough, so please ensure that at least half of the marks for back questions from book and tutorial so that who really work hard dont get disappointment.
These are my personal views.
November 26, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Dear Sir,
end sem was once again v gud, i mean the quality of questions but little bit tough.
Overall experience of the course was very good.
Tutorials on the time with solutions , nice idea!!
Everything went on perfect especially revision classes.
Really good to see such a student friendly prof.
But i personally think that course took a flight (v fast) post midsem and many lost interest bcz of that.
Would love to have more courses under u.
Yours sincerely
MM 301 students
November 30, 2010 at 7:24 am
tell directly that u want grade friendly teachers
November 30, 2010 at 7:21 am
Sir, I accept ur teaching efforts but you are not matured enough. DOnt get carried away by the grade feedback. Why on earth we expect 15+ marks out of 40 in endsem. Jesus, we have already done diffusion&phase diagrams infinite times. What all I wanna say is that see how much time we spent(wasted) preparing 4&5 chapters and what we ended up getting questions from pre midsem.

Ant-Man was a pretty fun movie. It really was. Also, seeing as the main character's whole gimmick is his size changing, toy makers get an excuse to release figures in just about any scale they want. Hasbro's already pretty big on different scales, so they've done a little bit to exploit this, though not as much as you might think. So far, they've offered the main character in 3 ¾ inch, 6 inch, and 12 inch sizes. I already took a look at the 6 inch Marvel Legends figure (which was a little inaccurate) and now I've gotten the 3 ¾ inch-sized Ant-Man and Ant set, which I'll be looking at today.
These two are packed as a deluxe boxed item. The packaging is similar in style to Hasbro's Marvel Legends Infinite Series, but the Marvel Legends brand isn't mentioned on the packaging. He's just billed under Marvel's Ant-Man.
Here we have the titular character, who's kind of responsible for selling the set. The figure is 3 ¾ inches tall with 20 points of articulation. Movement is a little awkward, to be honest. His hip joints are a somewhat limited and he's definitely held back by the lack of any torso or waist articulation. He has an all-new sculpt, which is based on his movie design. It's similar in style to the ML figure, just shrunk down a bit. While that figure had a strange open-mouthed mask, this one has a more movie-accurate closed mouth design. It's still not a perfect match for the movie design, but it's pretty spot on to a lot of the earlier promotional art from the film, so it's forgivably off. The sculpt of the body is well proportioned and features a nice bit of texture and detailing. The hands are in the same slightly odd pose as they were on the ML figure. I'm not sure what the deal is there, but they're well sculpted hands at the very least. The paintwork on Ant-Man is cleanly handled; it's a bit on the simpler side. It feels a bit lacking, especially when compared to the larger Ant-Man, but it looks decent enough. The red's too bright, though, and his eyes should be a bit lighter. But, he's not bad. Ant-Man includes no accessories, but he is packed with…
…the Ant. One would assume that this is meant to be Ant-Hony, the ant that Scott rides in the movie, but he's simply referred to as "Ant" in all references to him on the box. The figure is about 5 inches tall and 7 inches long, with 12 points of articulation. He's a pretty big ant! The articulation is rather rudimentary, and it seems like they could have easily added a bit more movement if they'd wanted to, but it's serviceable as is. All of the articulation is handled via ball and socket joints, which aren't the sturdiest things. That means that Ant-Hony has a habit of falling apart on a frequent basis, which is more than a little annoying. From a sculpting standpoint, he's another all new sculpt. It's not a super-detailed sculpt or anything, but it does a respectable job of upscaling an ant. The main body has some decent texturing to it and the wings are patterned to match those on Wasp, which is certainly nice for consistency's sake. The legs are all hollow on one side, which kind of kills a lot of the realism of the sculpt, but you can pose them so that the hollow portions are inward. Ant-Hony's paintwork is actually pretty decent. There's not a lot, but there's more than you might think at first glance. The eyes are, obviously, different, but there's also some fairly subtle red accents on the front legs and the head, which add a nice bit of variety and pairs him up well with the included Ant-Man. Like Ant-Man, Ant-Hony doesn't have any accessories of his own.
It's Super Awesome Girlfriend's fault again! We were at my local Toys R Us and they had just put out their shipment of this set. I wasn't sure I was going to get it, but SAGF saw that Ant-Hony was included and told me I needed to get it. I've learned that arguing with her on such things is relatively pointless, so I went ahead and got it. The set isn't anything out of the ordinary for Hasbro, but it's entertaining enough, especially given that it's the same cost as a Marvel Legend.

Kelly Dodd was just as baffled as everyone else at the response of Meghan King Edmonds when she was called about Vicki Gunvalson being airlifted to a hospital in Palm Springs in the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Since Meghan was close by, the women thought Meghan would offer Vicki some support.
Kelly shocked Meghan King Edmond refused to see Vicki Gunvalson
In her most up-to-date blog post on Bravo, Kelly Dodd tells fans how lucky she was that she came out of the accident without any real injuries after the dune buggy rolled over.
Since she loosened her helmet before the accident due to feeling claustrophobic, it's a miracle she didn't get hurt when it flew off during the wreck.
It was Vicki who wound up with a severe concussion and neck injury while Tamra Judge also suffered a bad concussion.
"When Heather and I heard Meghan's reaction and reluctance to go the hospital and show support for Vicki (of course would have meant disrupting her golf game) we were beside ourselves in disbelief," Kelly wrote in her RHOC blog on Bravo.
The Real Housewives of Orange County newcomer continued that even though she and Shannon Beador aren't on friendly terms, she would've visited her in the hospital had it been her that was badly injured.
Newest RHOC cast member says things will only get worse with the ladies
"It gets worse from here folks," Dodd concluded in her blog. You think you know these women? You may be shocked at what comes next.
Stay tuned for next week."
Hmmm ... it sounds like some serious confrontations and backstabbing is to come on the show. There's been plenty of that up to this point. What else could go wrong?
It would be shocking if there wasn't a new feud brewing between Meghan and Vicki after Monday's RHOC episode. Vicki was "sad" that Meghan didn't want to visit her at the hospital in Palm Springs. No one was there for Vicki -- that's why Heather called Meghan.
Kelly Dodd didn't allude to what happens from here on out, but you can rest assured more over-the-top drama is ahead for the ladies on The Real Housewives of Orange County!

Yesterday was one of those incredible days where the weather was changing every second. One minute the sun was shining, the next was a thunderstorm and then at times there were both at once. I tried to capture it in photos as well as possible.
Apologies for the repeat in photos, I am just trying out a new layout.

Picking a brand-new vehicle on your own and your household can be a complicated task. There are several alternatives available to customers in both the utilized and also brand-new market. Right here are some things to think about prior to making your choice.
In 2014, over 54,000,000 vehicles were offered in the United States. Of these, 14,000,000 were new and also 40,000,000 were utilized. New designs cost over $32,000 on average, compared to $15,000 for those that are used. The average cost for an automobile repair in 2014 was virtually $370, which is generally pointless for a brand-new vehicle, as it is under warranty. The typical price of lorry insurance policy was nearly $1,000 a year, although new designs usually had prices considerably higher than that.
There are greater than 250,000,000 Lorries operating South Africa. roadways as of this year. On average, these versions more than eleven years old. Since the South Africa began tracking this statistic in 1995, the ordinary age has actually enhanced annually. Put simply, individuals are driving their automobiles for longer because they are extra reputable. Competitors in between international and residential car firms have talented customers with a large option of trusted models. If you perform your due persistence, there is a great opportunity that you can locate a very trusted model in the used market. Nonetheless, to be 100% certain that you're automobile has no concealed issues, a dealership with brand-new autos offer for sale is your ideal alternative.
The average brand-new vehicle loses virtually 10% of its value the instant it is repelled the dealer's great deal.

When buying utilized, not only can you purchase from a dealer, however you can likewise buy from a made use of auto whole lot, the online classifieds, and also from people. New car prices South Africa offers those in the utilized market a better option from which to contrast costs before choosing. In conclusion, there are a great deal of advantages and disadvantages to consider when thinking about new and secondhand cars available. New Lorries supply ensured dependability with a service warranty; however, they depreciate faster. They likewise set you back more to purchase and guarantee.

Dear Kay,
Time for some Prouds and Sorries.
I have now unpacked both literally and figuratively our visit to Vogue Knitting Live. It was a weekend that tested us to the core: endurance, focus, ability to gaze upon the light fixtures of the Marriott Marquis Hotel and not make fun of them every single time.
The Prouds
Got to see so many killer handknits, and by killer I mean knock-you-down great. I blame the dim lighting for the quality of these pix, but I was BESIDE MYSELF at the sight of these.
Paige explains the beauty of garter stitch at Gulliver-size gauge:
April and I spent a while talking about Texas, the coziness of the World Wide Web, and that skein of yarn she's holding.
Shameka's sweater features those cable-on-cable-on-cables that I've never had the courage to try. She made it seem like no biggie. (She is also clearly a person who understands how to do product placement.) Eagle-eyed reader Dawn has ID'ed this headbangingly complicated sweater as Stonecutter. Thanks, Dawn, and high five Shameka!
This wonderful lady is showing me a picture of Yasser, over in Kenya, who is learning to knit. He'll be getting a copy of the coloring book for knitters. O JOY!
Rosemary's bolero is toreador-worthy. She totally rocked it.
This is doubleknit op-art madness, from Wall of Yarn, an Illinois (the distance!) shop who brought a boatload of Rauma, a Norwegian yarn new to me but a favorite since 1927, apparently. (What rock have I been living under?) The double-knitness means this scarf is perfectly flat, but with the same pattern reversed on the back side. Is this the year we learn how to do this?
Thank you to Patience for reminding me that this gorgeous madness is the work of Alasdair Post-Quinn, whose brain has some kind of special sauce in it. (Take a look, and you'll see what I mean.)
Annie from The Yarn Company, showing that she's two pounds into her three-pound blanket.
Prouds, Part Deux
I like to think I'm pretty sturdy around yarn. Until I'm not. Into the Knitty City tote bag went these:
A pair of Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool, colorway The Family Jewels. Cleverly mill spun but with all the heart of handspun. No two skeins of this stuff matched, which is kind of the point.
A bit of Twist Sock from Hedgehog Fibres (Irish and therefore awesome), colorway Pod. Kay overheard someone saying, "She's clinging to it. She's not letting it go." Proud? High moment of the show, to be accused of clinging.
Finally, a wintry ice blue skein of a yarn from a new yarn dyer, Little Fox Yarn. This fingering weight superwash merino/silk is named Vixen, colorway Blue Boy. It is gloriously subtle in its color shifts, almost a faded appearance. Could not wait—I cast on Hortensia, a sweet little lace cowl pattern from Nell Zeroli's Nell Knits, at Gate B4, LaGuardia Airport, and I kept going all the way home.
It's right there, the Zone of Regret. I visited Neighborhood Fiber Co., got to visit with Katie and Karida, yet failed to secure any of this saturated joy-in-a-skein. See all that color? That's taken from a balcony twenty yards away—my Sorry began before I even left the show.
Sorry Number 2: Not getting the Hand Maiden Mulberry Tussah barber pole yarn at Southern Yarns. I choked. I failed. I overthought. I had a crisis.
Proud, Sorry, Love,

Set within 10 acres, the formal Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens have been restored to their former 18th century glory, offering an oasis of tranquillity within their walls. They contain a large collection of unusual period plants, and a 19th century Holly maze. There is an elegant summer house and greenhouse standing each end of the broad Holly Walk.
In the formal vegetable garden, many historic vegetables and herbs are grown including unusual varieties like the Black 'Congo' potato and white carrot. There are many trained fruit trees, featuring apple, pear, apricot, fig and cherry.
The designers of these gardens were Captain William Winde, George London & Henry Wise, and for the vegetable garden, Batty Langley was the designer. All these were employed by the Bridgeman family, who were owners of the Hall at that time.

Deciding Whether To Repair Or Replace Your Appliance
It's not fun to throw money into repairing and replacing appliances, but if you find yourself with a faulty appliance, you'd probably like to get the issue taken care of while spending as little as you need to. This article will help you decide whether repairing or replacing your item is a better idea.
Is it Under Warranty?
First of all, check your manufacturer's warranty. If your appliance is still covered, then it certainly makes sense to take it in for repairs if it's the first time the appliance has broken down. If your appliance has broken down multiple times within the warranty period, that could indicate a fault with the appliance, though. At that point, you might want to see about lodging a complaint to the original manufacturer to try to get a replacement rather than a repair. But unfortunately, a lot of appliances are not within their warranty periods when they break down, which means that you often have to foot the costs of repair yourself.
What Type of Appliance Is it?
Certain appliances are more reliable than others. You may not find yourself replacing your dryer too often, but a smaller appliance, such as a blender, can burn out much more quickly. Things with lots of moving parts tend to break down much quicker. There are also certain appliances that lose critical performance more quickly than others. Your refrigerator, for instance, plays a critical role in keeping your food safe to eat. If you have a problem with your refrigerator, it may be wise to consider replacing it unless an 100% fix can be found.
What Does Your Appliance Repair Team Advise?
An evaluation of your appliance by a professional appliance repair technician will be the final needed step to help you decide whether to replace or repair. The technician will find the problems with your item and give you an estimate to replace or repair it.
From there, do a bit of cost/benefit analysis. If the repairs are minimal compared to the costs of replacement, it is a good idea to get repairs done. Repairs that total less than 50% of the cost of replacement are within a reasonable range for extending the lifespan of your appliance. But you must also factor in your own time and effort; you don't want to end up with an appliance that breaks again too soon in the future. For that, get a confidence estimate from a appliance repair team, such as from A OK Appliance Service, that say how likely the repair is to hold.

It was hard to narrow down to just 3 but I did it. Sorry it's late @KpopGaby but thank you for including me in this! Also thanks to @VKookie47 for tagging me in your card too! These are my personal picks I hope you like them!
Coming in at #3 for me is... f(x) ~ 4 Walls
I was waiting for forever for f(x)'s comeback! I really liked the MV, it matched well with the song. Very dreamlike and artistic. My favorite girls!
My #2 pick... History ~ Might Just Die
This MV might just kill me... Like seriously I watched (the dance version) like a million times. The song I'm still in love with. I had it on repeat for at least a week or two when it first came out. The Dance amazes me and works for the song. The drama version was feely too and kinda moody. I liked it.
Drum roll please!! My #1 pick for favorite MV of the year is : Royal Pirates ~ Run Away
And now Imma tell you why. This video... is so emotional. It's not big or flashy and has no dancing but still bring me to tears. The symbolism in this MV if you know anything about the group just hurts. The pictures in the beginning are Moon (main singer) and his brother Richard (former bassist of the group that died). The burning shield and bass James has said represents this past year's regrets/pain/and memories. For any who don't know James is the current bassist but cannot play right now because early this year he suffered a horrible accident involving his left hand/wrist that delayed their comeback for most of the year. He suffered in silence only giving out the bare bones details because he didn't want to worry anyone, not even his family. Even when it was so bad they thought he might even lose his hand. He only recently told us all about it and showed us the damage. He still has to endure painful rehabilitation for it. Knowing what these guys have been through this year and years past makes this MV the most meaningful and beautiful to me. Sorry I've run on and on but this song makes me very emotional. Please show RP more love and support in 2016 they truly are great and deserving of your love!!

Winter is finally here, and with only a few episodes of Game of Thrones left, the only thing on everyone's mind is who will claim the coveted Iron Throne? The cult show has amassed a legion of fans—including some of music's biggest names, who are celebrating the final season by teaming up with HBO to curate a Game of Thrones–inspired soundtrack titled For the Throne.
Released today, For the Throne has more celebrity appearances than Westeros has competitors for the crown. The 14-track album spans all genres, from rap to R&B and rock, with features from Maren Morris, Mumford & Sons, A$AP Rocky, Chloe X Halle, Ellie Goulding, and more. However, it's the powerhouse team-up on "Power Is Power," the first single released from the album, that had everyone talking all last week; it features SZA, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott. SZA first teased the single on her Twitter account, sharing the line "Heavy is the crown, but never for a queen" and photos of herself dressed in a crown and armor, presumably from the shoot for the song's video.
On "Power Is Power," The Weeknd takes inspiration from Jon Snow, singing, "I was born of the ice and snow / With the winter wolves, in the dark, alone." Twitter theorists believe SZA sings from the perspective of Daenerys (or Cersei), while Travis Scott roleplays The Night King, with lines like "Who's hotter? Been a monster with a crown."
Some fans have guessed that the song's lyrics hint at what will happen in the coming battle—including one theory that Daenerys will go "down for the coldest one," i.e. the Night King.
