such a hard life this ensuring we get regular exercise…. and eat well… This is damper. Flour, water, salt and in this case I made it fancy and rubbed in butter and added yeast. You wrap it around a stick and hold it over a fire and when it’s done you pull it off the…

eating science (24.08.18)
The other day we tried working out the density of rocks but it didn’t really work -the whole problem of two variables not one and so I thought I’d revise our density experiment but re-brand it as dom dom dom the “density cake experiment…” Helena likes to make these things we call microwave potions, my…
