Rhubarb marmalade

I’ve found two recipes for rhubarb marmalade, if the word “French” is in the name I always think it sound yummy. But what do I use the marmalade for? Does anyone have a recipe for some scones or similar, something one can eat along with a cup of tea?

(I’ll share my recipes after I make them in case they suck I won’t waste anyone’s times)

Food Inc

When I was doing some research for the Oscars I came across Food Inc and I’ve been wanting to see it since then and now I finally did. It feels like they could have focus on one thing and dug a little deeper.

But it did make me want to grow even more food. I hate buying fruit and veggies in the store because you have to take one of those little plastic bags each time and they are so fragile you can’t save them and use them again. I need to come up with an alternative to these bags…

Repo! The Genetic Opera

God how silly… silly silly silly AND Paris Hilton is in it, what a waste of time. I don’t understand why anyone would put that thing in a movie. No this was not a very good movie, it didn’t suck but it was… If you like Avril Lavigne and think that stuff is punk then you might actually like this and you probably have three different hair colors and striped cut off socks as arm warmers. I like the idea, I enjoy musical and darker things but this wasn't really dark, everything just felt forced.

But get "Phantom of the opera" instead and don't waste your time with this one.

Best thing in the movie: Sarah Brightman

Harry Brown

I really liked this movie, perhaps the first part more than the second but still. Michael Caine is excellent like always and there is something special about vigilantes. I like that concept and I’ll do my best to find more vigilante movies (do you know of any let me know).

Update on Mr Fox

I called early this morning and I was told not to feed him and to keep an eye out, the lady said I should call if I saw him again and they would come and collect him. He's too young to be on his own. I haven't seen him this morning though... I hope he's okay.

Since I can’t sleep

I found a funny page where people pronounce things. I like to listen to different native English speakers so I took a very Australian word, “Kangaroo”. A woman in America pronounced sort of soft all the way through, perhaps some force on the K. A man from Victoria said more like kangaROOO and a woman from West Australia said, kanGAroo. I pronounce it like the American woman.

I can see myself spending the next hour or so here listening to people pronounce things, Forvo

Lost little fox pup?

What seems like a little lost fox puppy is sneaking around. I don’t think it looks like a real fox, more like a wolf but we don’t have wolfs around here so… maybe it’s a dog? Either way it’s one scared little animal and I always get worried when animals are in trouble. He’s so tiny and you can tell it’s a baby, how will he get food? I have put some cat food out and water and tomorrow I’ll see if I can call someone and ask what to do to help the little thing. Dog barking, is he back? No, not back… he’s so little and cute. I want to keep him, but I won’t, but I will name him... Michael, or is that too obvious? I'm so worried, I won't get any sleep tonight and I will be up first thing in the morning to call someone.
