13 Monsters Good And True I think there are so many genuine monsters in the world that I am consoling myself by drawing little monsters who are good.
Drawing of 13 little 'monsters', rather cute little critters who wouldn't harm a fly, in fact they'd probably give it a bowl of milk and a tiny bed for the night.

It’s the 51st anniversary of the first day of the unlikely-sounding Spaghetti House Siege, when three armed robbers went into the Knightsbridge branch of an Italian restaurant chain, staff hid the money from them under a table, police surrounded the building, and they were stuck in there five days

I think the most important news from history today is that it’s the 39th anniversary of the (US) release of The Princess Bride—and what better way to mark the day than remind ourselves of Cary Elwes’ story about André the Giant and the enormous, life-altering, earth-shaking fart?

Last night's dinner was this fabulous Lamb Bāgu from Tim Anderson's JapanEasy Kitchen. As he explains in the recipe intro, it's not uncommon in Japan for ready made curry roux (that you can buy in blocks) to be adjusted with the addition of extra seasonings to add further depth of flavour. #foodsky
