Macondo Sunsets: Bread
http://macondo-sunsets.blogspot.com/2010/12/reason-i-insist-on-baking-bread-is-that.html
Monday, 20 December 2010. The reason I insist on baking bread is that in the UK bread is either not good or expensive for what you get. In addition, I believe that baking bread is one of those ancient skills, it has a certain mystery, it is a ritual and a basic function of human existence. After the sermon, here's the recipe:. Roughly 800gr flour (I used strong white flour). 1 sachet dry yeast (if you have sour dough, hats off to you). A pinch of salt. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Newer posts →. Faith schools, hypocrisy and class aspirations. May 27, 2011. The most depressing thing I heard in the last few weeks was this: some people I know started attending the Catholic Church, with a view to having their child admitted to the Catholic School in the area (not strictly very near their house). When I say ‘started attending’ I mean that these people were not particularly religious before. In fact, the mother is/was a self-confessed atheist. 8220;Their results are good, their students...

http://macondo-sunsets.blogspot.com/2011/02/fees-cuts-and-rises-in-pay-david.html
Tuesday, 1 February 2011. Fees, cuts and rises in pay: David Eastwood shows the way. In a week that saw Fernando Torres move to Chelsea for a British record fee of £50m, it was also announced that the Vice Chancellor at Birmingham University received a stunning 11% rise to his pay. Bringing it up to £392,000 ". According to a 2010 report. Mr Eastwood also enjoys:. A university car (full of fuel) and a chauffeur. Credit cards and expenses. This clearly worked really well for the man himself, as he himself...

Tuesday, 2 February 2010. Translation of mud and pomegranates part I. Ο Αγγελής επετάχτηκεν που την καρκόλα άξιππα, σάννα τζιαι θώρεν όρομαν. Εκοίταξεν το ξυπνητήριν. Η ώρα εν ήταν ακόμα τρεισήμισυ το πρωί. Το ξυπνητήριν ήταν να παίξει η ώρα τέσσερις αλλά που την ανυπομονησίαν του ένωσεν πιο πριν τζιαι ξύπνησεν. Οι Κυριακές ήταν οι καλλύττερες μέρες-έν είχεν σκολείον τζιαι εμπορούσεν να κάμει ότι έθελεν, συνήθως να παίξει μάππαν ή να πάει τζυνήιν. Monday, 1 February 2010. The half-Indian lad who's discov...

Thursday, 10 June 2010. The dining table of life. In her final years her eyesight had started to fail her, and she gradually lost her hearing. I loved her very much though, and she always recognised me and asked me whether I'd found a wife yet ( Firfiri. Every time I pass outside yiayia's house, I always look, as if I am still expecting her figure to be sitting there. Apologies it's a bit of a sad one-I promise you a nice recipe to make up for it].

Thursday, 26 November 2009. Mud and pomegranates II. On an olive tree branch. He aimed his sling and shot at it but missed. He spat another mouthful of lead shot into the pouch of his sling and carried on with scaring the birds. When they came to the end of the orchard, they again sat against the carob tree and opened their bags. "I hope you brought some of your mum's halloumi. Was watching them curiously from a hole in the carob trunk. They spotted a flock of starlings. Finches. Angelís put all the ...

Macondo Sunsets: Nutters I have known #1: the Basque
http://macondo-sunsets.blogspot.com/2010/03/nutters-i-have-known-1-basque.html
Monday, 22 March 2010. Nutters I have known #1: the Basque. Nutters. They are simply eccentric. But the most eccentric of these most definitely strayed into nutter territory. This series of blog posts is dedicated to these weird and wonderful (when they are not your flatmates) people. 1: the Basque scientist. The one who by far takes the biscuit, the top prize, was a flatmate of ours called ' Juana. Juana was a Basque student in Engineering, doing research on something I never quite understood. She w...

Christmas, time of happy consumerism, but not for all. June 5, 2013. I haven’t written in a while. The events in Cyprus (and beyond) in the past few months have left me disillusioned and confused. The elections and subsequent economic collapse in Cyprus, and all I see and hear around me made me want to keep my mouth shut. Of European and global neo-liberalism, with us Cypriots being sold out, squeezed with special measures and the. Video 2: https:/ www.facebook.com/photo.php? Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
