Quicklinks
Posted by kathryn in Breakfast, Vegan, Mental & emotional health, Dinners and Ethics & Sustainablity
It’s been a light blogging week for me. I’m working hard on a writing project for Wellbeing – something interesting they’re releasing early next year.
But I shall be back properly next week. For a few days of food made from the pantry. I’ve had some entries already and am going to post a couple of recipes of my own.
In the meantime, here’s the usual Friday Quicklinks. Plus a photo of my fridge – which is for Wendy.
- Baked French toast: I had to include Sophie’s champion looking recipe for baked cottage cheese French toast. I think we’ll have this over the weekend.
- Fast food hits the Mediterranean: According to the NY Times the Mediterranean diet is in retreat in its home region. And obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are on the rise.
- Walnut-pecan balls: Love the look of these walnut-pecan balls. You can use them as finger food, serve with a tomato sauce or shape into burgers. Thanks to Cassie for pointing them out.
- Easy ways with fish: Five seafood recipes from Nigel Slater: autumn fish suppers.
- How do you sharpen life’s pencil?: I’m enjoying the Take 2 series on Forever Change where Leanne highlights two posts which cover the same subject in different ways. The latest is on sharpening life’s pencil.
- Tofu with lemongrass: Another outstanding recipe from lucy at Nourish Me_. The latest is for tofu laced with lemongrass and corianderme/2008/09/tofu-laced-with-lemongrass.html?cid=132139772.
- Meat vs vegetarian: Joanna Blythman writes in the Guardian about why going veggie is not British in the wonderfully titled Keep your hands off my rump . . .

Well, that rump pun had me in fits of laughter.
As does that kitty magnet of yours – how gorgeous!
I seem to have more fridge magnets than actual things being held on the fridge. Shame you can’t see MagneCats face in the photo – has a bizarrely happy, slighly loopy expression.
Kathryn, love your fridge picture!
Spent some time clicking through to the links and following even more links on those sites and had some great reads. Thanks for sharing your finds!
Hi Kathryn
Thank you for the mention of my Take 2 series, glad you enjoy it. The latest on sharpening life’s pencil bring together two blogs that are totally different in style, (probably an understatement there!)and yet I was surprised at the similarities in some of the issues raised particularly in relation to learning.
Leanne: I loved the Gentleman Savant’s perspective. What an interesting blog he has. Quirky, but there’s some good meat in there.
It sounds creepy, but it would be interesting to see the inside of your fridge as well. Just to see what sort of supplies you keep as staples.
Bill: given we have a small fridge, there aren’t a lot of staples in there. I usually keep tahini, mustard, miso and some nuts and seeds in there. Plus at the moment there are preserved lemons, some dried fruit, rice milk, a couple of chutneys, some kind of unfeasibly hot chilli paste (Richard’s domain, not mine), half a jar of Thai red curry paste, and a tiny jar of lemon butter. That’s about it for staples.
