Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Incidentally, this painting, which I have seen in the flesh, is one of the best known in the country:

From the Times:

“There are lies, damned lies and statistics — and, in this case, false statistics. A team of number-crunchers were left red-faced yesterday after they had to withdraw the latest national mortgage figures because of errors.”

"People with high IQs drink more heavily, may take more illegal drugs, and are almost twice as likely as everybody else to hit credit card limits. They have the same rates of bankruptcy and missed mortgage payments as everybody else despite having better-paid jobs. Intelligent, educated people are less likely to question their assumptions, to learn from their mistakes, to take advice or reverse their decisions when they discover new facts. Instead they use their brainpower to ingeniously defend their original positions."

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
