It is not, however, better than her amazing recipe for Gammon. I bought a large ham the other day and cooked it on Christmas Eve for the Hammonds and Cal and it was great. Better cold. Lasts forever!

I can recommend this wholeheartedly. After your meal you're left with something that tastes and keeps enormously better than the packets of ham you buy in supermarkets to be used in sandwiches, pies etc.

And a really interesting tone of voice and more investigative stance for the piece as well than we normally see on the BBC's website. Really good. Classy. Worth supporting.

I've obviously played with Bravo and I think Arrington is missing something here. The service is, above all, characterful and fun. It's still developing but if it keeps that character as it goes I think it could easily find an audience.

Entertaining, insightful and gripping article on the 'success' of Mao's regime and how it correlates to large company management practice. Doesn't maybe sound sexy, but I really enjoyed it.

"There Will Be Blood is, in fact, not a historical saga; rather, it's an absurdist, blackly comic horror film with a very idiosyncratic satanic figure at its core." Sounds awesome!
Comments
Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
I saw There Will Be Blood a few weeks back at a BAFTA screening. It really was a stunning film. I think it would be more accurate to say 'heightened', rather than absurdist. As for not historical, I would err on agreement, except to say that it says an awful lot about the formation of the modern America.

That does look lovely Gammon, but the real joy is boiling it with pease pudding http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/boiled-smoked-bacon-with-pease-pudding-with-onion-and-mustard-sauce,979,RC.html I remember Mum cooking it this way when I was young, not least because on one occasion her pressure cooker safety valve went and boiling presurized pease pudding shot all over the kitchen ceiling. Xtreme cooking!
