Green, lean and phallic

The courgette has really come into its own during January - Slightly cutting back on the chronic has meant a new found clarity of culinary vision has descended - it's green and looks like the sort of weener Grotbags might have if she was a man. I've been sticking it in literally anything I can get my hands on. As veg goes, this one is proper sick.



That'll be beans for one then



Fuck your Typhoo

Book Club - Stewart Lee

You have probably already noticed that it's Winter and it is miserable. What better way to block out the world than with a series of good books? With this in mind, the Bakery has been stuffed with tomes & we are feverishly working our way through them... First out the traps is Stewart Lee's 'How I Escaped My Certain Fate: The Life and Deaths of a Stand-Up Comedian'

You would imagine that a book whose main body consists of transcripts of stand-up shows might be a very cheap cash-in. However, as is so often the case with Stewart Lee, what seems to be shallow rot is revealed to be magical and deep. Lee hangs a loose retelling of his time in stand-up around transcripts of three shows. A sad man writing about what a miserable failure much of his life has been doesn't sound like a recipe for laughs, but the book is pure joy.
