Fantasy literature: pictures

One of my personal favourite lessons, on some aspects of British fantasy literature. Pictures by the excellent Klára Nagy.

A history of British pop/rock: pictures

And finally it arrived! Reminisce as you are watching the pictures taken by my good friend Sanyi Márton on the rock history class.

Apple crumble

Well, the recipe of apple crumble (the sweet you could try on the last occasion we met): Ingredients: Crumble topping: 300 g plain flour, 150 g sugar, 200 g butter Filling: 450 g apple (cored, peeled, sliced), 45 g sugar, 1 spoon of flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon Preparation: Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Put the flour and the sugar into a bowl, add the butter and rub them together until it looks crumbly. Scatter the apples with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Put it into a casserole. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the top of the apples. Cook in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes until lightly golden brown.
