Sweet Potato and Peanut Curry

Posted on October 17, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Lash   Serves 4. Well hi there! It’s getting all autumnal, and that means that the vintagetraceygoodness kitchen is going for hearty, filling, warm-the-cockles dishes that we can bung in the fridge/freezer and dig into when we’re home from a long day. I learned to make this dish yonks ago (I think it was probably…

Willow

Posted on October 2, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   Growing up in the northern reaches of England’s fen lands, willow has featured in my life from the very beginning. Now, in the northern highlands of Scotland, I see it growing steadfast at the edges of the flow country. Some willows should be classed as shrubs rather than trees – like the…

The Wait

Posted on September 18, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Hugin   The castle stood on the edge of the cliff. For centuries it had stood there, and it was as strong and majestic in ruins as it had been in its glory days. Instead of the hustle and bustle of busy servants, and the dancing and feasting of the earls and their guests,…

Mustelids

Posted on August 29, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   Imagine a park for mustelids.  How much freedom, how many fences, might you allow these relentless killers?  Would the weasel be able to live alongside the pine marten?  The ferret and stoat could make good bedfellows – on the other hand – well – who can say?  They are a villainous crew….

Quartz

Posted on July 31, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   Silica has never been top of the list of most-often-written-about subjects for poets. One might argue that quartz, because of its crystalline property, should inspire heavenly thoughts – but it doesn’t seem to do that in great works of literature generally. Perhaps it is because, after feldspars, it is the most abundant…

Homemade Brunch Beans

Posted on July 24, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Lash   Serves 2. These beans are inspired by the amazing homemade beans on toast that are served up at The Edinburgh Larder – an amazing Deli and Café, and my favourite place for brunch in Edinburgh! Unfortunately, I live around four-hundred miles away, so I decided to come up with my own version….

Yarrow

Posted on July 4, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   Every so often we meet with a familiar part of our environment which we suppose has some personal attachment for us as individuals. Over the next year I am hoping to share some of my familiars. I can’t say why a flower, for example, rings the same bell as sharing a sentiment…

Buber

Posted on June 26, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Patrick   I just finished an old biography of the theologican and philosopher Martin Buber (Encounter with Martin Buber by Aubrey Hodes). One of my friends raves about Buber, so I thought I would give this book a go. Buber really was an extraordinary man concerned with love, relationships, dialogue, peace, politics, education and…

A Little Thought

Posted on June 6, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Patrick   A couple of years ago in a section of this website entitled ’21’, I wrote a list of 21 things that I would like to achieve in life. I would now only put 8 of them on the list were I to re-write it (which is not to say I have actively turned…

Eglantine

Posted on June 4, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   Sarah crossed and uncrossed her legs as she listened to the music.  She was aware of a connection.  She recognised notes in sequences she had never knowingly heard before.  She was able to predict the theme as it developed.  Sarah’s face tingled until the tingling even reached her eye sockets.  Hot like…
