After posting the accompanying photo last night, I was asked to post the recipe, so here goes.
This is my standard tomato-based curry, with the ‘main’ ingredient (here beluga lentils) changing according to taste. The same dish can be made with beans, soy, Quorn, etc. Sometimes the main ingredient needs extra cooking time, and so will go in with the ‘remaining veg’; tinned lentils are pre-cooked and only require heating.
(If you eat meat, that can of course be your main ingredient; but you’re on your own for how to cook it.)
You can further vary most of these amounts, and even the ‘remaining veg’ ingredients, according to taste and appetite. I do all the time. This just happens to be what I used for the dish shown.
The rice measurements, however, are precise to ensure perfect basmati.
This recipe is #accidentallyvegan, but if you don’t have Earth Balance/Vitalite/etc and aren’t bothered, use ghee or regular butter.
NOTE: This is obviously tailored to the western palate, and I apologise in advance to any south Asians reading this in horror. But it tastes good… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, it’s birthday episode time again! This year, Incomparable regular and text adventure lover Tony Sindelar takes over as guest host, allowing me to weave a pattern of love for the all-but-forgotten classic Lucasarts game, LOOM — a game so good it made me want to become a videogames writer.
Some of you may recall that, towards the end of last year, I was knee-deep in writing a new novel. It was my first for a very long time — more than a decade! — but, while the going was tough, I was very pleased with the result. Turns out, so was my agent 😉 And so…
I’m delighted to announce THE EXPHORIA CODE, a modern cyber-espionage thriller starring a new character, MI6 hacker Brigitte Sharp. Coming this December, from Lightning Books — and hopefully it’s just the first of many adventures for Bridge.

Right.
Is Ringo the best drummer in the world? Ho ho, he’s not even the best drummer in… actually, let’s not go there (Lennon never actually said it anyway).
Instead, Andy Ihnatko joins Antony to bang a drum for the scouser on the skins, discussing Ringo Starr’s innovation, charisma, and — yes — enormous drumming talent.
New STAR WARS EPISODE IX director announced.
Was making Sherlock Holmes cool really a good idea? Is Robert Downey Jr simply playing himself? And shouldn’t Watson be a bumbling lapdog, rather than a two-fisted pugilist?
Not according to devoted Sherlockian Eddy Webb, who joins Antony to discuss all this and more in Guy Ritchie’s 2009 “Sherlock Holmes” movie. The game’s afoot!
Fast cars, impossibly skilled drivers, champagne groupies, loud explosions — and a complete disregard for the laws of physics.
Sounds like mindless bro-hell? Jessica Sliwinski once thought so, but after mainlining the entire “Fast & Furious” movie franchise over a weekend, she joins Antony to shift her appreciation up a gear… and become part of the family.
