Good cookery site with loads of recipes and article on things like knife skills, and useful kitchen tools.

à la carte: “Good knife skills are a combination of knowledge and practice—the knowledge of which knives to use for which tasks, the knowledge of how to hold and move a knife, the knowledge of how various foods are structurally composed, and many other little bits of knowledge. This knowledge is only part of the equation. Many hours of practice make up the other part.”

If you’ve got a wedding to plan and you don’t have a royal budget, follow Laura Brady’s top 10 cost-cutting tips

“

I don’t know whether it’s because amongst my friends and acquaintances there are a huge number of weddings this year, or because it’s 10 years for me and Bex this year and we’ll be celebrating with a big party / renewing of vows, but this article struck a chord!

Wifi rabbit: “

Nabaztag (means ‘rabbit’ in armenian), the small rabbit can access the net. The colour of the little spots on its belly changes depending on the weather, car traffic or reception of emails… you decide. Nice, nice, but wait! It also plays tunes and moves its ears according to those variables. Plus, it communicates with other rabbits located elsewhere thanks to a coded language you can create (like: a specific posiiton of the ear to show that you’re busy… ) .

Made by French company Violet, should be sold in France later on this month for 95 euros. Worldwide???

UK lampposts to get WiFi, flash memory: “

WiFi hot spots? Bah — UK company Last Mile Communications says it will convert the humble lamppost into all the internet access you need. But why stop there, when a lamppost could be so much more? Last Mile’s plans include installing flash memory inside the posts to store information about local stores and restaurants. Then, all a passerby need do is run a bit of proprietary code courtesy of Last Mile (dubbed MagicBook by some marketing exec who’s clearly absorbed too much Harry Potter) to access the information on the lamppost. Not convinced yet? But wait — the lamppost hot spots could be used by… emergency services! Yeah, that’s it — when firefighters arrive on the scene to combat a raging blaze, they’ll just take a moment to whip out their laptops and see which neighborhood pub will be best for cooling off in afterwards. We’ve seen plans of this variety in the States, too, but somehow we have yet to see the thronging hordes crouched against a lamppost with Pocket PCs, looking for clubs.
