Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Precisely so. I can probably drive from Vancouver to San Diego, or cycle round Vietnam - but not both. And as I get older my ability to do either diminishes.

One the one hand that is quite a profound meditation, on the other Sylvia Plath was mad as a box of frogs.

Not much to argue with there, Glenners.

I've heard this expressed as "You can do anything, but you can't do everything. So pick something"

It's a big world, with lots of doors, some of which are locked, and some of which might (or might not) have a fig behind them.

The point that I forget is that if one doesn't choose a fig in a timely manner, all the figs will go off.

Always used to say that the time spent picking figs off my fig tree in late September was my best paid work of the year, based on the fact that organic figs were £2 for 3 in the supermarket at the time, and some years I would get a few hundred figs.

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
