What's better than spending a dreary December Sunday afternoon at home, baking? I'm not really feeling the Christmas spirit just yet, but knew what could help swing it. Mini bundt cake? Cute. Gingerbread with cinnamon frosting? Festive. 
I adapted a Mary Berry recipe to make these perfectly festive bakes. This slightly reduced mixture made about 12 mini bundt cakes.

The 6th Annual Denver (only) Beer Festivus was held at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum on Saturday, December 16th. I’d attended the event in the past at when it was at The McNichols Building, but this was my first Festivus at this venue, and it was fantastic! It was very roomy and didn’t feel crowded at all, so I would not have guessed it was sold-out festival; it seemed like the perfect amount of attendees for the space.

In mid  2013, I had posted   - ‘It would ever remain a mystery as to how he played against England at home after scoring – 5,0,0,4,4 at Srilanka and 4 against Pak at Chennai.. 17 in 6 innings and still he got a chance’. Today, I would have no qualms in taking back those words ~ he is very special and belongs to a different genre; he does not bludgeon but caresses – sending balls soaring with silken touch ! – no prize for guessing, this star.

These sesame stuffed squash make an attractive centrepiece for a vegan Christmas dinner. The Asian-inspired flavours from the sesame oil and soy sauce might not seem immediately festive, but the rich savoury flavours go perfectly with roasted vegetables, potatoes and even gravy!

Momma Tina Lawson posted the video of herself, husband Richard Lawson, Beyonce and Jay-Z doing the electric slide at a birthday party on Thursday.  The video gave us  Black family reunion vibes as they danced to Frankie Beverly and Maze “Before I Let Go.”

Momma Tina has since deleted the video, but not before the folks over ...

With the end of 2017 almost here, I'm trying to catch up on some of the movies I missed throughout the year. Next up: The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), Noah Baumbach's take on the increasingly familiar parent-in-hospital movie.

In conversation about the advent of Jesus' incarnation and the nativity, a friend shared her daily devotional with me. She said that her church had given out an advent calendar with daily devotions, and that day's focused on Joseph.

She explained that it mentioned that we focus on Mary the virgin who conceived, Gabriel's announcement, the angels' proclamation, the shepherds, the wise men, even the star and the manger, but Joseph isn't mentioned a lot.

Joseph was Jesus' foster-father. Читать дальше...

From Russia (with love) to South Korea by Ferry

I get a good night’s sleep after the wonderful exploration of Vladivostok yesterday. I think about taking a bus to the funicular railway, one of only two in Russia. The second one has just been built in Sochi for the recent Winter Olympics. However, I choose a lie-in and a good breakfast instead. The warmth of the hotel compared to the freezing temperatures outside helps my decision.

As our fledgling podcast starts to get off the ground, I've had a couple of emails from readers asking how to listen to the show. When we did our pilot episode a few weeks back, we used a different podcast hosting platform to get the show out there. We've since switched to a different platform that we'll use moving forward, which means the links I originally shared may not be working for you. So, here's how you can listen to

If you’ve been riding bikes for a while you’ll have undoubtedly bought yourself some MTB specific shoes, if you haven’t then you need to look at buying some FiveTens (or similar)! My previous review of the FiveTen Freeriders gave them a 4/5 as their performance is amazing but they soak up more water than a very thirsty elephant.

This is an issue from some fans of Ghostkeeper and has to be corrected for those who saw a different Ghostkeeper opening. It's not really a big deal but the film sales for one particular salesman wanted a different beginning. Something more shocking. Above is Doug MacLeod and our friend who's name I lost 35 years ago.
