thoughts of sladden freud thoughts of sladden freud chairman miaow monday 9 april 2012 underwood hello sentients i thought i should plug my forthcoming ep which will probably be available on bandcamp as soon as it s finished its tentative title is our haunted kingdom and the track here will probably appear on it maybe in a slightly different version maybe as it is here it s good to be back writing music actually making stuff up i can t write music and the best sounds of all come from the music of chance underwood posted by david dent at 13 36 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels hauntology ghosts electronica tuesday 27 december 2011 roasted parsnip and parmesan soup i cook this at christmas and it s a belter you ll need 450g parsnips 50g parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 15g butter 1 medium sized onion 1 tablespoon plain flour 1 3 litres chicken stock salt and pepper 4 tablespoons double cream ok start by heating the oven to 200c gas mark 6 peel the parsnips and cut them into lengths halved and halved again is fine bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the parsnips in the water for about three minutes until they re just starting to soften check by inserting the tip of a knife into one of them don t overcook you want your parsnips to remain looking like parsnips while they re cooking grate the parmesan and when the oven is hot pour the olive oil into a roasting tray and put in the oven for about 4 mins to heat up drain the parsnips and tip them into the heated roasting tray ensuring the parsnips all get covered in the hot oil sprinkle the parmesan over the parsnips dot with butter then roast for about 45 mins basting frequently while they re cooking peel and finely chop the onion take out the parsnips at the end of the cooking time and spoon off the oil in the roasting tray into a heavy based large pan there should be enough oil to fry the onion but if it looks a bit meagre add a tiny bit more oil put in the chopped onion and cook gently until the onion is softened about 5 mins while that s cooking make up the chicken stock i use kallo cubes don t make the stock too strong one cube is easily enough for the amount of liquid needed when the onion has softened stir in the flour and cooking stirring constantly for about a minute then slowly at first add the hot stock again stirring all the time the flour will make the stock thicken at first which is what you want add the rest of the stock then all the parsnips from the roasting tray bring to the boil then simmer gently for about ten minutes turn off the heat and leave to cool slightly finely liquidise the parsnips and stock you don t want your soup to be full of crunchy bits of parsnip so really blitz it add the cream and some seasoning to taste be careful not to oversalt as the parmesan is already quite salty but this soup is good with generous amounts of freshly milled black pepper then serve worth the effort i m sure you ll agree posted by david dent at 01 21 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels christmas parmesan parsnips soup saturday 3 september 2011 scrolling vision dreams haven t been around here much back at work which is good for the mortgage but bad for the creative thinking anyhows i like to take a nap in the afternoon at weekends i m not getting any younger and i ve been doing it for years and as i m an early riser it kind of goes with the territory and daytime sleeping s good for dreams however i have a common dream which has developed over the years basically it s not what s happening that s important but the fact the in my dream i m suddenly unable to walk function etc because what i m seeing ahead of me is like a rolling picture on an old tv set scrolling top to bottom which causes a loss of balance and inability to get up from where in my dream i am sitting lying etc ok so this isn t a good feeling and brings on mild panic in the dream what s really interesting is that over the years the dream has developed i m now so used to this that in my dreams i alert other people to what s happening to me and ask them to look at my eyes to see if they can see anything so while i haven t progressed to knowing that it is a dream and therefore waking myself up i have at least acknowledged in my dream state that this isn t right and that it s something that s happened many times before these dreams are so real that when i wake up and realise it was a dream the divison between dream state and waking state is almost interchangeable except that when i wake up i have no lingering scrolling vision issues isn t the human brain a wonderful thing posted by david dent at 09 44 no comments email this blogthis

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest twombly poussin and the dulwich picture gallery staff nicolas poussin cy twombly the dulwich picture gallery has finally given punters something to get excited about as part of its 200th anniversary in a rare example of contrasting styles thrown together to elicit a common response the gallery has mounted a rich exhibition of the arcadian dreams of artists nicolas poussin and cy twombly and has skilfully combined them with the more secular concerns voiced by the dpg staff this careful balance of the 17th 20th and 21st centuries is a stunning achievement in room 1 for example the mind leaps between the rounded forms of poussin s classical figures and the urgent bursts of colour striding across twombly s canvasses anchored by the more immediate and stridently voiced concerns of the staff about who does he think he is telling me what my job is elsewhere arcadian dreams fill the gallery space but lest you enter an unchecked reverie of thought and emotion here are the staff again lingering in archways and bickering about who dreams up these lunch rotas i left the exhibition slightly tearful very moved and determined to visit again to see if this performance can be kept up during the remainder of the exhibition s stay truly poussin and twombly would be stunned posted by david dent at 05 50 no comments

photos anyway tv chefs bleating on about how things are so simple are thankfully in the descendant so it leaves more room for me to tell you about a really quick and pretty cheap pasta dish that i make a lot so you ll need to serve 2 increase amounts for more 4 medium or 3 large courgettes not the really big ones disguised as marrows they re too watery smaller is better for this recipe 2 lemons 1 big fat clove of garlic peeled 1 red chili not the tiny shrivelled ones a bigger fat one a handful of chives finely chopped a big handful of pine nuts 8 oz about 250g spaghetti dried or fresh depending on budget 1 generous tablespoon olive oil a splash of extra virgin olive oil about 6 7 slices parmesan cheese i use a cheese slicer to do this but you can use a knife just make sure the slices are thin you ll also need a big non stick pan with quite high sides you can use a non stick frying pan but you ll have to assemble the food on a plate which kind of misses the point as it s one of those dishes where everything is thrown together at the end first slice the courgettes discarding the end bits cut them thinly about the width of a 10 pence piece then zest the lemon you ll probably know this but zesting is basically grating the lemon skin in a fine grater so you get a big pile of shavings de seed the chilli or leave them in if that s your bag and you want it more gutsy and finely chop then thinly slice the garlic clove cut the de zested lemons in half and squeeze them to get all the juice out without the pips reserve the liquid ok heat the pan you re using to a high heat on the hob and when hot add the pine nuts dry fry them quickly until they toast don t burn them otherwise they take on a bitter taste when you ve done that take them out of the pan and reserve add the olive oil don t be tempted to add more oil because you want the courgettes to be coated in the oil not drowning in it and limp then add the courgettes lemon zest chili and garlic stir frequently to start so everything gets covered in the oil then less so to get the courgettes colouring you want them browned but not blackened this should take about 10 12 minutes more if you re using larger quantities when cooked turn the heat down but not off while this is happening cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions you want the spaghetti to be ready at the same time as the courgettes so plan ahead when you re ready to assemble drain the spaghetti and add the lemon juice parmesan slices toasted pine nuts and chives to the courgettes then the drained spaghetti mix this all together turning up the heat a little so the parmesan melts adding a splash of extra virgin oil at the end not essential but if you ve got it use it then serve onto plates while still hot et voila good food which doesn t cost much and is really filling posted by david dent at 15 49 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cooking courgettes pasta
