      Was away from internet whole weekend, at Dog agility camp. My camera battery died right at the start so no pics, but got these from a friend.
      As I'm just a kepo (ke-bo, kennel boy) at the camp  :P, I have been making crépes/flapjacks for everybody during our evening get-together for 6 years in a row. This year we had about 8 litres of batter, all was used.
      It's well past 9 p.m. in the pics (pics, courtesy of Anne R.)

        Great bag MB and impressive execution G.

        Seul it would be a pretty small pillow case but how about a cushion, lap top sleeve, beer holder, mouse pad…..

        Laptop case would be wicked!

        Fine work MB, I reckon Rachel might be quite jealous. She's already copied you on the Macbook Air 😉

              … Asian cultures are known for far driven animal cruelty... The eating part of it is just a small segment, I guess...

              not being Asian myself, but I couldn't help myself feeling not very comfortable with the above generalization.
              please also remember that we Europeans still eat Horse, Donkey, Boar, Deer, etc
              in certain regions of europe cow or deer brain or stomach is eaten. people don't know that in France, amongst other countries in Europe dogs are still breed for their meat.
              in regards to the aspect of animal cruelty I guess that Asia has for some parts not reached the same point of raised awareness to hide things behind doors as we in Europe do. I don't see cats and dogs getting slaughtered in the streets of GZ - yet I know if I would want to see it where to go or what to do in order for a an "exploitative" piece of journalism to happen…

                  Is there anything Asians don't eat?.. Seriously, I might sound ignorant, but it seems like they'll bake cook and fry just about anything that breaths or crawls…

                  I am originally from Taiwan so I'll let you guys decided if I am Chinese or not 🙂
                  but there is a saying if it's alive we'll eat it. if it moves bets will be placed.

                  Animal cruelty is a huge problem in china. It's getting better but will take time…...

                    Lightening up the conversation.  British Army saying:

                    If it moves salute it
                    If it doesn't move, move it
                    If you can't move it, paint it

                      there's nothing wrong in eating everything that breathes.

                      And Foxy,  there is nothing odd in eating horse/donkey, boars, reindeers, deers. Except horselike animals, those are normal game. Like ducks, geese etc.

                      Being cruel to animals is totally different story.

                      You have to respect those who give their lives to get you fed.

                                I completely disagree.  One of the most thought provoking books on cooking I have read in a long time is "Meat" by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.  His main premise is that we as a species are essentially omnivorous, so eating meat is part of what we do and who we are.  BUT, our responsibility as meat eaters is to treat the animals that we eat with respect and care whilst they are alive and make their life (and inevitably their death) as pleasant as possible.  I don't think that is a bad starting point.

                                  . . . great starting point - and it's also why we have incisors, canines, premolars and molars - for all sorts of lovely food-stuffs

                                  now - i'm off to start cooking those calves cheeks . . .

                                    I always read we have the teeth and plumbing of a herbivore, though… But either way we can live perfectly healthy without eating meat... So I will just have to dismiss your - albeit noble - ideas as selfish.

                                      I mean, if you care or pretend to care about the animals, just don't eat them, right?..

                                      Well I know this is a useless discussion… And I don't wanna be that holier-than-thou arsehole - leave that to the vegans  😉 - so let's agree to disagree...

                                          need to give up the red wine (and some white) then dude - it goes through a fining process which usually involves, gelatin or egg whites or isinglass (fish swim bladder)  😶
