Back in London

It’s lovely to be back in London after 5 years away.  The city constantly changes and evolves and yet in many ways it feels like many things have not changed either.  Perhaps that it because for me London has always felt like that comfortable pair of jeans that just fits.

It’s good to get my camera out again too.  I’ve been snapping bits of the city in the last 3 weeks.  My goal is to visit places I never got around to doing when I last lived here. 🙂

Sunday is the time for making home made baked beans

It’s a long weekend here for Australia day.  A perfect time to make the perfect Baked Beans.  There are many recipes but this one works for me.  If you wanted to make it richer in the winter months you could add a ham hock.  That would be tasty..

(Serves 6)

3 tbsp fine salt
450g dried haricot beans
2 tbsp oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 stick of celery, finely chopped
400g tinned tomatoes, chopped
2½ tbsp tomato ketchup
1½ tsp cornflour

And what if the Hulk was a Duke?
How might Van Eyck have portrayed Snow White?”
