Mallorcan Tumbet recipes I'm now doing requests :-) This one's for my parents, who tried this dish in Mallorca/Majorca (I used to think they were two different islands) on a recent trip. Sephardic recipe (looks elaborate): http://www.caryn.com/holiday/passover/recipes/majorcantumbet.html Simpler recipe: http://www.spanishhampers.co.uk/RECIPES/recipes60.html It's amazing how they differ. I like the look of the first one better. Que aprovechen! 6:43:12 PM    comment []

The audioblogging manifesto I don't have an iPod or any other MP3 playing device (other than the many computers under my command) so I have never really grokked the whole podcasting thing. Moreover, I am primarily a text person (I make my living translating text), and I'm a fast reader. I rarely listen to the radio (can't stand the ads, among other things) and my TV viewing is confined to a few series I make a point of catching (Six Feet Under, until the various Spanish TV channel started playing football with it, and Desperate Housewives - Yes, I confess!). Anyway, today I came across a very nicely-written manifesto about audioblogging that can be summarised in one word: Don't. You can read it at the link above, where you can also find a link where you can listen to it, complete with backing choir. I fully agree with the guy. 12:42:24 AM    comment []
