Have you seen the new Star Wars movie trailer? It is uninspiring! My childhood has been sacrileged and that! By George Lucas! So put him in the carbonite!<\/a> Yes, freeze him! And his little dog too!<\/a>
\nOver the last five years I have become increasingly conscious of the food I’m eating, and the role food plays in life. (Watching Jamie’s School Dinners gave me a lot of perspective<\/a>, and it is a significant element of the work I’m doing both teaching and as a student.) I’ve been thinking a lot about the fairly complicated issues around food, without really having the head to put it together into something sound. That’s another of the reasons why I’ve been digging on the rise of foodblogging in my blog crew of late. Dan’s cooking blog, Freshly Ground, never fails to make me hungry with his excellent simple recipes, but posts like this one<\/a> are the treasures I value most. Dan starts off riffing on Jamie and Gordon and Nigella, then drags it all into context and left me genuinely stunned and energised at the importance of caring about what we put on our plates. A great read.
\nThe big geek dance hit this weekend past in San Diego, and it featured the first ever live appearance of a Fraggle<\/a>. Fraggle Rock, it seems, was Jim Henson’s attempt to prevent war. Thinking back to watching that show as a kid, that seems right. (Also on the Henson tip: Sesame Street season 39 preview<\/a>!)
\nHave you ever seen Winsor McCay’s 1914 animation, Gertie the Dinosaur? Take a few minutes to watch. It is, quite simply, wonderful.
