This week's experimental baking ...
... is a variation on last week's, which turned out tasty but dense. I have mixed my "harvest flour" (strong white aka bread flour with mixed grains) about half-and-half with plain aka cake flour, used half the amount of butter in one batch, used a lot less milk in another and added an extra 50% oatmeal in the third batch that I made up when I realised I'd misjudged the quantities. Then I went out and bought a third baking sheet. Each batch has been used for three buns and nine buns with something. The reduced butter batch has chilli and lime. The reduced milk batch has apricots. The extra oatmeal batch has dates, cinnamon and nutmeg. They are currently in the oven, presumably rising. It's going to be a bit of a tricky job to get them all baked without burning the ones at the top, because it's really not a very big oven. Update: fail. They're pretty much brick. | | Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 | | 10:15 pm |

The Sundance Lich, a contradiction in plants. Choisya ternata Sundance ('Lich')"A slow growing golden-leaved shrub capable of lighting up deep shade under overhanging trees - with strident young rosettes of leaf" # Position: full sun or partial shade # Soil: fertile, well-drained soil # Rate of growth: fast-growing This dome-shaped shrub is ideal for a mixed or shrub border in light shade, where the leaves become a more subtle yellow-green. It is vigorous, and will fill a dark corner in a couple of seasons. ***** Make up your minds, eh, Crocus? | | Thursday, June 4th, 2009 | | 6:55 pm |

Where's the third?
Today's Bunny and XKCD both feature cars going off cliffs left-to-right. Aren't these things supposed to happen in threes? | | Sunday, May 10th, 2009 | | 8:49 pm |

Ducklings
The latest members of the garden population: one duck and two tiny ducklings, seen happily cleaning up and making a different kind of mess under the bird-feeders ... ... and a bumblebee that's nesting in the dry leaves behind the new spiny bushes. It's a pretty solid location. | | Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 | | 7:13 pm |

Rock Band 2
Been. Played. Did well. I've made myself a cute little Irish pixie. :) Tried bass guitar yesterday. Did fairly well. Played drums on Guitar Hero first today, and sucked at first but got better and got sponsored. Switched to Rock Band 2, switched back to guitar and took lead guitar instead of bass. Went back to Easy for my first time as lead guitar, got five perfect solos in three songs and 100% on one of them, 99% and 98% on the others. Went up to Medium. Played sets, mostly did very well. Played a random set. It turns out that "random set" will choose from your downloads as well as the standard list. We know this because it did. "This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success!" Yyyyep. It gave us that to play. | | Saturday, March 7th, 2009 | | 1:50 pm |
