Lemon Loaf Cake
May 25, 2015
Sometimes you just need a no-nonsense cake. One for the weekend, obligingly providing slices of dense, butteriness with every cup of tea.

Brisket in a Bun
September 15, 2014
Things work out for the best when we all know where we stand. I stand next to the oven so I can pull the best bits off the brisket when it's cooked.
Dutch Tool Chest
August 25, 2014
A project where I've learned stuff, made some great connections and made the most efficient tool chest I have ever seen.

Choose life: Choose a big meringuey pudding that takes up a whole shelf in the fridge and a weeks worth of calories in your belly.
