Seventies rockstars back at their parents’ homes (via @jemimakiss). A beautiful moment of kitsch, made all the more awesome by Elton John’s mum. A bit of knee. Kinky boots. This is a lady who’s proud to be the mother of glam. I’m betting she has a whole forest of Pampas Grass out front.
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the Slegoon. Desperately cool looking sledge that’s actually a whole host safer than that thing your dad knocked up out of an old drawer and some curtain track one snowy Saturday in the mid-seventies.
Breadmakers seem to have personalities; I’m on my third machine (each from a different manufacturer) and each one has needed its own set of recipes. This recipe makes a perfect white loaf in my Panasonic SD-253. All measurements refer to the cup and spoon provided with the machine.
Put the yeast and the sugar in the pan of the machine. Then the flour, followed by the salt, milk powder and vitamin C. Next put in the oil, before finally putting in the water.
Put the pan in the machine and select the ‘French Bread’ program. Press start, and wait 6 hours for lovely fluffy white bread. To get a good crust you really need to take it out of the pan as soon as possible after it’s ready, so try and catch it within 5 minutes of the beep.
My general experience is that the stronger the flour the better the results. I’ve tried a few different makes and the only one that gives consistently good loaves is Dove Farms Strong White Bread Flour. If you keep getting flat or malformed loaves try changing brand of flour, increasing the water by up to 20ml, increasing the sugar by up to a teaspoon or reducing the salt by 1/4 teaspoon.
Awesome. Get your balanced breakfast through a healthy dose of Vader each morning. And use Marmite to paint extravagant moustaches and Mickey Mouse ears on the most feared of all Sith.
Although, I fear that not shipping in time for Christmas will turn out to be a mistake.
Really simple but classy puzzle game. I’m currently stumped on level 23. FactoryBalls2.

I’ve always wished there was such a thing as a pantomime AT-AT. Will this grow up into one?
