If you’re a Nick Frost/salsa/comedy/Chris O’Dowd fan, this movie is made for you. Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost) used to be a child salsa sensation with his sister and partner Sam (Olivia Colman). But on the night of the nationals, Bruce decides to give up salsa for good. Years later, Bruce leads a quiet and uneventful … Continue reading
Every now and then, I love myself a nice little risotto. And since the other day it was my turn to cook for our weekly movie nights, I decided to go for a recipe that’s really easy (too easy) and that requires very little effort. Ingredients: (for 6 people) risotto rice (I prefer Arborio), measure … Continue reading
One of my friends had her birthday the other day, and I asked her if she’d like a cake. When she said yes, I was dreading what kind she’d like, because there’s only so many I’ve been known to do well, but thankfully she said ‘Marble cake’ and that was something I’d already done before. … Continue reading
If you’ve ever thought you had a dysfunctional family, think again and go see August: Osage County. Not only will you realise that most likely what you have at home is a hundred times better, but you’ll also see two Oscar-winning actresses fight like mud wrestlers. Based on the play by Tracy Letts, the plot … Continue reading
I know full well that I’m a total weeper. When something is emotional in a movie or a book, the floodgates just open and I cry like a baby. But to be fair, 12 Years A Slave had plenty of scope to make even the most cold-hearted person squirm. Based on the eponymous autobiography by … Continue reading

What’s certain though, is that it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Those who wished to celebrate his life could do so; and those who didn’t know anything about him … Continue reading
Hey all!! I’ve decided that this year, I want to take this blog further. And to do that, I need… YOU. That means liking my blog (pretty good prerequisite). Then following it and/or liking my Facebook page. Then sharing articles you like with the people you love, be it friends or family. And also, if … Continue reading
I recently turned 25. On top of the usual birthday wishes, this spawned a lot of “OMG quarter of a century!!” comments. And suddenly, your brain tries to wrap itself around that concept. Because, you know, quarter of a century. Nowadays we’re fairly lucky if we get to 90 without too many health problems (think … Continue reading
To celebrate my 25th, I’ve decided to make a chocolate cake. Now I have this awesome recipe for chocolate fondant cake which I’ll share with you another day, but this time I wanted something that I could more easily distribute between friends, and take leftovers to work. I’ve done this type of cake before using … Continue reading
In Germany, it is customary for TV channels to bombard people with retrospectives about the past year from Boxing Day up to January 1st. They range from the more localised “Hessen 2013” to the broader “2013 in Germany and elsewhere” version. In this spirit, I have decided to make my own. This past year has … Continue reading
