On privilige

EDIT: *cough*, meant to post this to debunkingwhite. But hey, you guys may be able to help too :)(*) If you're unfamilar with the concept of "white privilige" I reccomend White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.

A statement I've seen pop up fairly frequently is "I don't want to give up my white privilege, I want to share it with everyone". I've seen enough criticisms of this statement not to say it myself, but I don't have quite enough of a grip on it's wrongness to explain it to other people.

Poll: Yorkshire pudding

[Poll #1164560]

Inspired by someone at work talking about how much she hated them, followed by me and another workmate trying to convince her of their awesomeness and me realising I hadn't had any since I left home. So I made some (with chicken and peas and gravy) and they were tasty. And Cam had never seen them before outside of "Ramsey's kitchen nightmares"! He thought they were a kind of dessert!

I am having to stop myself cooking Cam "Toad in the Hole", since while I'm pretty sure he would really enjoy it it's like the ultimate anti-diet-food (sausages cooked in (crunchy tasty) fatty batter, served with tomato sauce)

Mmm... now I'm hungry again :)
