		<title>Recipe: Caramel Meringue &#8211; Edmonds Cookbook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This recipe is copied directly from my 1962 edition of the Edmonds Cookbook, as requested by Carol on 26 August in a comment on my Anzac biscuits recipe. Carol, I trust this is the recipe you&#8217;re referring to!
Caramel Meringue

3 ozs butter

		<title>link: yoghurt/yogurt tartlets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday I made a potato curry with tomato and coconut milk, and decided that a nice dairy dessert would be appropriate for afters. I have lots of yoghurt in the fridge, so I decided to try the 101cookbooks recipe for yoghurt tarlets. Next time I&#8217;ll probably use ground flax and sunflower seeds instead of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=268&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>recipe: semolina cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a delicious cake, and very easy to make. The last time I made it, I blanched the almonds the night before so that making the cake would seem even more effortless. Everything is mixed into one bowl, and the syrup hardly even needs stirring. It&#8217;s a sweet one, and is a very good accompaniment to tea [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=263&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Recipe for Pavlova (Schaum Torte)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


This is my father&#8217;s recipe, inherited from his mother, written down for me in 1995 by Peter Haines, the man privileged to have received it in writing from my father. I grew up watching dad make this without the recipe and always assumed that none existed. My fondest memories of this pav are licking the beaters &#8211; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=251&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>things fall apart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can I please buy a brush that lasts me more than two years before falling apart? The spikes drop out, the colour or veneer wears out, the non-slip rubber bits atrophy and drop off, the pointless decoration becomes ugly &#8230; I know we live in a disposable society, but this is getting annoying!
While you&#8217;re sending [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=242&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>little things in great quantities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
At a recent (and my first in Israel) visit to a homeopath, a question was posed to me that made me realise that there&#8217;s an unfortunate theme in my life right now. The question was &#8220;what do you dream about?&#8221;. I knew the question was coming, because I&#8217;ve been to a homeopath before. So I&#8217;d [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=231&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Château Vary

Where our baby once woke up cooing and murmuring, he now moves quickly from fidgeting and shuffling to major crying. The breakdown started in the Loire Valley when he was six months old, and we haven&#8217;t really recovered yet.
From a strictly objective observation, it appears that the week or so that he [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=195&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, both our baby and I have been doing new things &#8211; he&#8217;s been doing more than me. My new things are few so I&#8217;ll tell them first &#8211; I cooked wheat berries (why berries? I&#8217;m confused by that &#8211; isn&#8217;t it just &#8230; wheat?). I&#8217;m sure there was something else new but can&#8217;t remember [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simmerdown.wordpress.com&blog=419832&post=194&subd=simmerdown&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
