So, you may remember me mentioning that I rather enjoy not only colouring but dot-to-dot. The ones made for adults have hundreds of dots to connect and it is so amazingly meditative and a sure fire way to calm my brain down before I sleep.

Normally, that is.

However, this one magazine I bought revealed pictures that were... somewhat unsettling. So much so that I had to take photos to share... I would like to reassure you that these pictures don't look like they do because I made mistakes. Oh no, I did them perfect. THEY ARE JUST FUCKING BIZARRE.

Observe: )

So yes. Let this be a lesson to you all. What may seem like a harmless past time may turn out traumatizing.

I got this recipe from mum over Christmas, and she'd gotten it from someone else so no idea as to the origin. But it is super yummy, super healthy and glutein free for those of you to whom that may be a consideration. [livejournal.com profile] pushkin666 and I tested it this weekend and promptly made two batches.



Seedy Crisp Bread

200ml corn flour
75ml sunflower seeds
50ml sesame seeds
50ml pumpkin seeds
50ml linseeds
50ml oil (avoid olive oil unless you really like it, the flavour it gives is quite strong here)
250ml boiling water
salt, spices or herbs to taste

Mix dry ingredients. You can easily substitute other seeds or even finely chopped nuts or dried fruit, as long as the quantities are similar. Add in oil and boiling water and mix. The mixture should come off the bowl easily. Spread thinly onto a baking paper covered baking tray. Thinner you get it, crispier your bread. Sprinkle with salt and/or any spices or herbs you fancy. Plain coarse sea salt will work nicely. We also tried a combination of salt, chilli flakes and oregano, and it was scrumptious. Bake for 1h in ~150C (fan) 160C (normal) oven. Allow to cool before cracking it into pieces. Store in air tight container to avoid it gathering moisture and turning chewy (although I also quite like it like that!)

Today I took my camera and went to the town centre centre. I have ~170 photos here, and I'm going to be posting all of them in 3 parts. I have tried to keep the commentary to minimal, the photos often speak for themselves. There are a few blurry shots included, taken when the crowd was moving fast.

I'm leaving the posts unlocked, feel free to link.
