Jan stayed with us last weekend; it was lovely to catch up with her and hear a bit about the Hobart scene. On Saturday night we had dinner together, so I made the Rhubarb Crumble from Jamie At Home - a great little recipe. But I did it with a twist, and I think it really worked, so I wanted to share it with you other Jamie-philes.
The twist is this: rather than using the juice and zest of an orange, use the juice and zest of one mandarin plus half a lemon. Also add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar (in the simmering stage). The mandarin really works with the rhubarb... just beautiful :)
At the end of this week I have a Greek exam. It's on the particular ways that verbs are used to get across the 'type of action' that the author's driving at. So maybe you're trying to get across the difference between trying to punch someone, beginning to punch them, punching someone once, or punching them a dozen times... well, (New Testament) Greek gets at the difference in it's own special way, and that's what I have to get to the bottom of.
Jamie's cooking and Greek punching... they pretty-much occupy my mind :)

The crumble is great isn't it!
Rhubarb is seriously good. Not cheap, not exactly an all-rounder. But what it does, it does very well :)
I think it's easy to grow though. The crumble we made was with homegrown rhubarb out of Nick's mum's garden (well, actually out of her freezer but it was from the garden at some stage!)
