But if I would have a kid like that, trying to prank me like this… well I guess you won’t have a license then :). Have fun watching the video below:

  The singer on Black Sabbath, being superstitious and moving back to EnglandI am so pleased I gave up drinking. At one point, I never ever imagined going a day. I was a raging alcoholic.

  26-05-2018 10:30
  A dense, moreish banana cake that’s as good with jam for breakfast as it is for general gluttonyWhile all other cakes come and go with seasons and flights of fancy, the banana cake is steady – it’s the safe bet and the crowd-pleaser, and also the secret favourite. Not all banana cakes are created equal, however. This one is so dense, you could make an indentation on a slice with your lips and it would remember them like memory foam.

  Pea season is in full swing and these plump little pockets add great flavour to a charred salad, filo cigars and a springtime pasta dishI recently introduced my youngest son to freshly picked peas, and his delighted reaction to this new instant food made me question the idea of even cooking them at all: what a shame to lose that sweet freshness, vibrant greenness and slight crunch by applying heat. But I’m a chef, so I can’t help myself. When they’re super-fresh, I’ll sti
