[Thanks, Glenn, enjoyed reading the 4 of those I could without a subscription. I can always here James voice as I read his work. It is quite soothing.]

"When it comes to sitting properly, we all know the drill – even if we don’t follow it to the letter. No slouching or crossed legs, buttocks touching the back of the chair and feet on the ground. But even if you are doing it right, sitting for long periods is shockingly bad for you. It has been described as the new smoking, linked to heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. There is no doubt we should all try to do less of it. But perhaps we could also do it better."

Just after his death, on the just-before-1800 slot on R4 they played a recording of him some of his late poetry. Brilliant but heartbreaking.

This isn’t particularly well written, but it covers some ground that I’m wrestling with. Posting this on Glenn’s scrapbook wire *and* tbogua. Those who understand will understand and those that don’t don’t need to.

Maintained by GlennR
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.
