Outcry in Italy over inclusion of butter in UK recipe for Cacio e Pepe A recipe for cacio e pepe on the UK food website Good Food has sparked an outcry in Italy over the inclusion of a controversial fourth ingredient: butter.

Standing firmly with the Romans on cacio e pepe. Butter, parmigiano and cream should be nowhere near it. www.wantedinrome.com/news/italy-c...

I know - would have been perfect!

Completed four days hospitality at the Oval yesterday *and* managed to get up just after 5am this morning. A pre-work swim now to begin the recovery…

I hope so.

One more to go!

Still alive after three days hospitality at the Oval. Yay me.

Important day at The Oval: A Day for Thorpey. Mind volunteers all around selling headbands supporting the fight for mental health.

Day one of four hospitality days at the Oval complete. Great fun, superb food, I can still type and am more likely to expire from the skunk on the Mildmay than free booze consumed.

Conversations on our street tonight:

Phone call: Nah, I don’t want to grow mushrooms in my garden.

Later…

Grooooaaaan

Phone call: Can you let me in? She’s gonna piss herself.

Fireworks.

In the pub discussing albums of the 80s after seeing a @krisstewart.bsky.social post and some lad turns around and tells us that his dad’s band supported Echo and the Bunnymen.

They've sold really well but we have pairs left and ant to get the money to the charity.

Thank you.

I’ve waked past that place many times. Never been in. This was okay mainly because no one else was in on a Monday afternoon (we’d just finished a walk in the hills.)

We got away without the police being called. Result.

It is!

I’m having a pint in the Con Club in Winchcombe. I feel dirty but it’s the cheapest place in town (down the road it was £9.90 for a fancy egg sarnie.)

Nice one 😘 You both look fab obvs x

Umami lusciousness.

Still available in Cheltenham. It’s a good cause but agree, we need a chilli resurrection (but hotter)

We need to revive It’s a Knockout. The international one particularly. #HerecometheBelgians

"Daddy, what did you do during the genocide?"

There have been many before and many after at both tournaments. Gloriously celebrations of the art of missing pens.

They have never been to CHAOS Cup.

Still, progressing via the worst penalty shoot out of all time is pretty cool, no?

This must be the worst penalty shoot out of all time.

Yes and played so well too
