    Barlow knife ?

    I've got a two or three or maybe four. I think that two are by Trevor Albert, one a Wostenholm IXL and if I have a fourth it will be an American thing like Camillus. I'll try to dig them out and take some photos today or tomorrow.

    Show us your larder cupboard

    I was in child in the 1970s and can just about remember the power cuts, bread shortages, fuel oil shortages (closed my junior school for what felt like a month, that winter). That and the constant reminders of the ever present threat of nuclear war... Then occasional problems like a broken...

    I think that people who think "just another Chinese generic producer" will be interested the price and the "look". And if the price is low enough and it looks fashionable, they will buy. I know that I'm certainly not in that population and probably on a statistically insignificant part of the...

    What is wrong with people

    The Elixir of Life

    My mother used to cook what she called "Austrian baked cabbage". Take a white or Savoy cabbage and halved it vertically. Over the flat side, sprinkle caraway seeds; pull the sides to open the spaces between the leaves so that the seeds get inside. Spread some butter on the flat side. Put...

    Bug out coffee

    That friend who was over on Sunday started to sleep. In Monday morning we were talking about making coffee and she mentioned having a "briki", the word that Greeks use for what I described earlier as "cevze", made from some some sort of ceramic; she's worried that heating it in a gas flame will...
