Split Pea and Celeriac Soup

Thumbnail
A real winter warmer and cheap as well.Saute some onions. Wash some green or yellow split peas. Peel and chop some celeriac and maybe some carrot if you have some. If you can soak the peas in some boiling water for an hour or so that will speed up cooking. (Drain and rinse before use)Combine everything and add boiling water. Once peas are soft add seasonings- yummy!See More

Well.not enough people bought it.... Tescos have now discontinued Pouting. Interesting how quickly they could respond after a TV programme though. Shame about the fish :(

After seeing a tuna tin packing factory in South East Asia on the TV and the slave like conditions the workers had to endure I personally dont touch tinned tuna at all.

I'll certainly try it next time I'm there! The problem with the fish fight was that now I'm completely confused about what is ok and what is not. The tins of tuna still say 'sustainably sourced' on them....

Whatever problems there are with Tesco, I think we all need to look at the bigger picture, and the reality of the situation, which is that millions of people shop in Tesco (including pretty much all of us, I'm sure, even if only occasionally),…

Hey yea just got yr email about needing a copy of "Power of Community" DVD of the Cuban experience re Peak Oil. It seems a strange choice but maybe people in a typical English town can find something in it. I have that in my archives, so if you can't get it elsewhere let me know and I'll burn a copy for you

Carolyn,

 

Green drinks sound great to me and the White Horse  - have not been there for ages.

 

See you there. Shall I identify myself by wearing the usual white Carnation as in Smiley's People!!! No, maybe just a multicoloured wastecoat.................

 

Am on a promise with Vic Hobson and helping out at Mudlarks. Do you get down there?

 

Nick.

Hust browsing the video section and tried the Cosmetics Video Nathan posted for you - that doesn't have any embed code or a URL so it's not working as such - if you delete it I'll get the URL and add it on your behalf that way yes?

Please provide a postal address and Peter Riding will send the DVD to you.

Um Hi Carolyn yes sorry about that, had a session bringing my g/f up to speed on posting embedded vidoe code to various sites and showed her examples of vids I'v posted to servers both public and private then closed all but a private server down and left her to play whilst I prepared the topping for some grilled Portobello. Unfortunately I hadn't closed the Transition site so she posted a trial vid (the jet thing) to both sites! I realised that had happened and removed the vid from both sites, so not sure how it still on TH - again my apologies, I'll choose my example sites more wisely in the future :-)

Yes I think I mentioned in a past message/comment that the move wouldn't take place until the second half of 2011, that's still the case and as yet not able to narrow it down further, though hopefully I'll have a better idea of exactly when by summer. And yes I'm very much looking forward to being with you all in body as well as spirit - particularly in one on one and small groups (what remains of my 'voice' isn't in any way a communication tool in larger or noisy gatherings I'm afraid and that is a shame all round as I have extensive experience of verbal communications either in person with large and small gatherings of many different natures and on a wide range of subjects and on various radio shows (mainly on 'talking head' shows on LBC before it was taken over) political hustings and campaigns in the 1980's and global wide conferencing moderation in the 1970/80's

 

So today I communicate somewhat differently :-)

Hope you had a really lovely celebration of the turning and that you have a very wonderful New Year

don
