600ml Double Cream
200ml milk
175g caster sugar
2 vanilla pods.
4 leaves gelatine

Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for at least 4-5 minutes.

Place the cream, milk, and sugar a saucepan. Split the vanilla pods lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the mixture. Slowly bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.

Squeeze the gelatine leaves of excess water one by one and stir into the cream mixture until dissolved.

Divide the panna cotta mixture between several ramekins or pour into a medium-sized mold.

Cool and then chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until set - overnight if you use one bowl.

Cul-de-suck is the website for Scott’s latest novel, sWitch. I’m doing the site design work, as well as acting as a sort of publicist for the novel. Interesting, enlightening and sometimes frustrating! There are also two Twitter feeds - one for the book and one for the books main character, Barbara Ducharme. There’s also a fan page and a blog.

Chancellors of Vice is a new site design for my favourite local band. Temporarily it’s being hosted on my own website.

Creebies is my Nokia Series 60 game that has finally emerged on the Ovi Store. It has a website (in development) and a fan page.
Table42 with Chef Darryl Harmon is Scott’s reality TV show currently in pre-production. It too, has a fan page and a Twitter feed.

Teapott Fables is a collaboration between Scotty and Teddy, an extremely talented animator in Germany. It has a fan page!

Surrounded by Idiots is Scott’s band. Again, talent a-hoy. That Scott’s a busy boy!

Optricks is a new venture from my friends at Gameware Development, focussing on Augmented Reality software. I’m working with them doing some marketing and suchlike. (I’m a busy girl.) Optricks has a fan page and a Twitter feed.

And finally (although there actually is more), my rabbit Regis has a Facebook fan page. He’s lovely, if a bit grumpy. Won’t you be his fan? He doesn’t Twitter though.

Hobert writes with such an edge you simply can’t help but be swept along. It’s like the best ‘50s style Mickey Spillane pulp novels, but set in the present day.

I say “set”, but to be honest, I’m not entirely sure if Hobert is telling us a true story or not. Whatever it is, it’s exciting, addictive and oh, so sexy (oh yes - you might want to wrap your computer in brown paper).

Give Hobert’s Avenging Olympia a read and add it to your RSS stream. I promise, you will love this.

They’re from a run of only 30 signed and numbered prints at a, well, fabulous, price. I’ve got mine now, so I’ll let you in on it: http://www.gallerynucleus.com/prints

Ooh, and don’t they look lovely with Burnt Toast?

And Unknown Weegee from the International Center of Photography.

(PeeEss, actually, my absolute favourite is my fella’s blog, but it won’t ever fall off the top slot, so perhaps can’t count.)

Who doesn’t like peeking into other people’s houses to see how they’ve decorated, huh? I mean, the inspiration!

Oh.

My guy has written his first book - a novella called HorrorCon. I’m not just saying this, but it’s brilliant. He’s an incredible writer with an amazing imagination.

What’s more, you can buy it from Lulu now.

Oh, and guess who did the photography and design? :-)

More. Many, many more on the National Geographic site.

The whole lot will be here in its entirety when it’s done.
