Book: Show us one of your favorite cookbooks.
With Bokker responsible for the baked goods (and other dishes of course) and me being a dedicated carnivore my favourite recipe book is Meat. Which is not only full of great recipies but also a large section devoted to eating meat ethically and understanding cuts and quality in our modern supermarket, factory farmed world.
Hugh's advice is if you don't get your meat from a butcher who can tell you the meats origins it isn't worth eating! Something I definitely agree with and am priviliged enough to live somewhere where I have access to excellent locally produce in local shops.
Some of the recipes I reserve for when Bokker is away as most offal is not particularly to her tastes.
Show us some art in your home.
This is one of my prized possesions, I remember when I first saw it getting on for 10 years ago and thought: wow, what a fantastic image.
I don't know what I liked so much about it and I wasn't sure exactly what social comment was being made but it stoked my interest in street art and meant that on my trips to London and other cities I was on the lookout for more.
When I saw this on the internet some time ago I had to have it and it now has pride of place in our LonNY inspired living room, where it will remain despite the current frenzy for selling these prints with
a siginificant profit on ebay.
Apparently it was valentines day yesterday and according to Bokker I could have posted for the Vox hunt "Show us love." And for Qotd I could have posted "Who or What do I really love?" Obviously I didn't post about either of these things and posted about a video of cars in Paris, or Top Gear!!!! as Bokker put it in a most outraged tone.
NB for both the Vox Hunt and Qotd yesterday of course I would have posted about Bokker, but she knows that so I didn't. And i don't see me appearing on her blog in answer to those questions.............;-)
Although if Bok had watched the below video all the way through she would have seen it's conclusion is a most romantic meeting of the car driver and his lady on the steps of the Sacre Couer at dawn.........awwww, how romantic.
Video: Show us a great music video.
Show us some holiday decorations.
Having been a scrooge at work for the last week or so while other people have been putting up decorations and listening to christmas music, today I decided to relent and used this picture for my desktop.
I now also have tinsel on top of my monitor, much to my distaste but the people I work with made me do it ;-)
I did enjoy some of Bokker's mince pies about two weeks ago though and I am looking forward to her making more. We also put up our tree at the weekend and have visited the christmas market on a couple of occasions and finished all our present shopping.
So perhaps I am not too much of a scrooge!
Show us a picture of you on vacation.

Show us a local landmark.
Wow, it is a long time since I last wrote on Vox. Obviously I am not the greatest blogger :-)
But this Vox Hunt caught my attention.
This is the Beetham tower in Manchester, a new, rather dominant addition to the skyline.
At 48 floors, 171 metres, and 561 feet high it's the tallest
residential building in the UK and has inspired a fun/silly group on flickr.
I just realised that this is a two for one as the bridge in the foreground is also a well known local landmark the Hulme Arch.
