Clean a barbecue with an onion
Wipe your grill clean without the chemical waste by rubbing an onion against the grate of the grill. The Apartment Therapy blog explains that scrubbing a halved onion faced downwards on a heated grate will remove the grime and grit without requiring the hard and frustrating scrubbing of a Brillo pad. Plus, it’s an affordable green alternative that won’t cause putrid smells like most chemicals do. That is, as long as you like the smell of onions.

Clean the Grill with an Onion? [Apartment Therapy]
Food Hacks: Clean Your Grill with an Onion.
I was reading this post and thought “Oh mon dieu, I live in dordogne the Truffle country”. I must be blessed. Come over for a holiday: La Vieille Desie.
Philip Hensher: Why Britain’s foodies are digging truffles - Philip Hensher, Commentators - The Independent.
Some things you used to have to go abroad for, and they remained something of a holiday treat. Among those, the truffle stands out. I first had a truffle in Italy, in the 1980s. It was a considerable shock. It’s a fungus but it didn’t taste like any mushroom I’d ever had. The flavour, moreover, lives much more in the nose than in the tastebuds. On the slopes of Mount Etna, in September 1986, my friend instructed me to place a large napkin over my head and bend over a plate of pasta al tartufo, breathing in the aroma, rather as if I had a bad cold and it was a bowl of boiling water and eucalyptus oil.
Quite a different sensation, though. It’s intensely earthy, as if it had brought up the earth it was buried in, and something much more unnerving; a powerful illusion of a bodily odour. Some people have thought it had the distinct smell of unwashed genitals; I think it can strike one as more armpit-like, and certainly very masculine in tendency.
Am I persuading anyone of its merits yet? The two true truffles, the black winter truffle from around Perigord and the northern Italian white truffle, are often overwhelming, even shocking to experience. They can’t be farmed, and have to be hunted with sows or, these days, often with dogs who are more easily restrained from eating them when they find them. The cost can be immense – in 2007, a casino owner paid $330,000 (£165,000) for an Italian white truffle weighing 1.5 kg, though about $3,000 a kilogram is more usual.
My one experience of real truffle gluttony came in the week after Princess Diana died, when we found ourselves taking a week’s cycling holiday around Cortona in Umbria. The exchange rate was hugely in our favour; everyone we met on the nightly passeggiata kept weirdly expressing sympathy for Our National Loss; and truffles, in one way or another, came into dinner every single night. By the end of the week, for once in my life, I genuinely couldn’t face another dish touched by this sublime, vulgar fungus.
We might well be about to find out what it will do for English cooking, since it turns out that the weather we’ve been having, warm and damp, has been perfect truffle-growing weather. One gentleman found four kilos of truffle in the roots of a beech tree in Plymouth city centre. A Wiltshire garden, unidentified for fear of truffle pirates, is yielding kilo after kilo.
These are, of course, the summer truffle, tuber aestivum, which is not up to the Perigord black truffle or the Italian white truffle, though still worth eating. The decent rewards to be had, however, might inspire the English out into the woods to find not only them, but what is much more likely, some delicious wild mushrooms.
In most urban green spaces and woodlands, there are plenty of fungus hunters; they are, however, all hunting for the same thing, the hallucinogens known as “magic mushrooms”. The wonderful chanterelles, porcini and even morels that can be found even in Epping Forest are left alone. England is full of food lovers, and wonderful wild food there for the taking. The glamorous truffle seems like an exotic addition; but if people, this weekend, fail in their attempts to find one, they are likely to discover things in the woods just as worth eating. Take a good illustrated guide, though.
In Berlin, drab is shocking
A Berlin bar has caused a stir by taking on a distinctively DDR theme. The bar, themed after the Stasi, or the old East German secret service, is decorated with East German memorabilia, including, the owners claim, an urn containing the ashes of Erich Honecker. A certain amount of protest at this bad taste enterprise has been heard.
The bars of Berlin are one of the bizarre wonders of the world, and long have been – as in “Cabaret”, pictured. My local when I lived in Berlin was a bar on an abandoned barge, which sank into the canal one memorable night. Another, the gloriously reckless Möbel Olfe, once famously ran the Great Transvestite Goulash Challenge – a dozen trannies turned up with their individual take on the pot of goulash, each very seriously judged by the whole bar.
Others looked like public lavatories (Das Klo), recapitulated in loving detail a working-class sitting room in Dortmund in 1977 (Konrad Tönz), or, as in Roses on the Oranien- strasse, coated the interior with bright pink fun fur. This DDR Bar, with its Stasi-style – or is it merely, nowadays, English-pub style? – surveillance camera at the entrance is hardly going to stand out.
Let dead dogs lie in peace
A despatch from the Fool And Her Money department informs us, interestingly, that a former California beauty queen has persuaded South Korean scientists to clone her dead dog Booger. Bernann McKinney, 57, sold her home to pay for the procedure, and now has five pit bull puppies genetically the same as Booger – surely not a very loving thing to call the dog in the first place.
I’m sure the Korean scientists are perfectly on the level, but the thought must have occurred to them that it would probably be much more sensible to hand over five of the many thousands of black pit bull terriers abandoned across the world every year, accepting the £25,000 Ms McKinney paid them without further comment. It’s, of course, an extremely sad day when a beloved dog dies, though most of us tend to get over our grief. I deeply loved my dear old greyhound Conrad, and had a very difficult week or two, along with him, at the end. But I can’t imagine paying Koreans tens of thousands of pounds to deliver him back from the dead, multiplied by five. That, dare I say it, might be almost too much of a good thing.
The point is that dogs, like most sentient beings, have their own dignity, and make some, at least, of their own decisions. It’s unlikely that even a high-tech procedure like this will deliver Ms McKinney back the dog she loved. But even to attempt it suggests that she wants to replace a comforting object with the same one, not that she wants to develop a similar, dynamic relationship with an animal who, I can assure you, may very well have its own ideas on the subject.
Unesco, the world cultural body, has threatened to humiliate France by placing the Lascaux caves – 
known as the “Sistine Chapel of prehistory” – on its list of endangered sites of universal importance.
The Unesco world heritage committee, meeting this week in Quebec, has given the French government six months to report on the success of its efforts to save the Lascaux cave paintings in Dordogne from an ugly, and potentially destructive, invasion of grey and black fungi.
At the same time, a scientific committee appointed by the French government has conceded that an elaborate treatment with a new fungicide in January failed to stop the mould advancing through one part of the caves.
An independent pressure group of scientists and historians claims that up to half of the startlingly beautiful, 17,000-year-old images of bison, horses, wild cattle and ibex are now threatened by the fungal invasion – the second of its kind in eight years.
The heritage committee warned France this week that it will consider placing Lascaux on its list of imperilled cultural and natural sites of global significance unless progress is made by next February. The committee requested France to open Lascaux – closed to the public since 1963 – to a visit by independent experts. It also advised France to commission an “impact study” of all past, and possible future, actions in the caves since the first fungal invasion in 2001-02.
There are already 31 sites on the Unesco “List of World Heritage in Danger”, including such treasures as the ancient Buddha statues of the Bamiyan valley in Afghanistan, partly destroyed by the Taliban. Only one of the existing, officially threatened sites is in western Europe – the architectural heritage of the Dresden-Elbe valley in eastern Germany, site of a planned motorway. A decision by the Unesco committee to list Lascaux as “endangered” would, therefore, be a severe embarrassment to France. Unesco would, in effect, be telling Paris that it can no longer be trusted to manage one of the world’s most important historical and cultural treasures.
Officials from the French government’s department of historic monuments and experts from all over the world have been quarrelling for years over the best way to preserve the Lascaux paintings. Some experts have accused the French authorities of a series of blunders, including a change in the air-conditioning system in 2000, the use of high-powered lights in the caves and allowing too many “special” visits.
An independent body, the International Committee for the Protection of Lascaux, infuriated Paris by asking Unesco to intervene last September. Laurence Léauté-Beasley, president of the committee, was jubilant yesterday. “The requirements placed upon France [by Unesco] are significant and strong,” she said. “France will now have to answer to the world community for actions they have taken in the past and will take in the future. Lascaux’s management must now operate in a spirit of transparency.”
The French authorities initially denied that the Lascaux paintings themselves had been attacked by the second fungal invasion. They later admitted to some blotching on the paintings but no lasting damage. The independent protection committee, citing information from experts who have visited the caves, insist that some of the images have been irreparably blurred or that their colours have faded.
Mme Léauté-Beasley said: “Upwards of 50 per cent of the caves’ … art is disappearing under an incursion of black spots, some as large as human hands, triggered by the use of high intensity lights and excess human presence inside the cave.”
On Thursday night, the French authorities admitted a setback. A treatment with fungicide in January appeared to have been successful at first but the black and grey blotches are now spreading once again across one part of the paintings, according to an official statement.
A committee of international experts, appointed by Paris after the first fungal attack in 2001, announced that the new treatment had been “very satisfactory” in one part of the caves, known as the “room of the bulls”. The spread of fungal blotches had resumed, however, in the “right-hand part of the caverns”.
Marie-Anne Sire, the head curator of Lascaux, told the French news agency AFP that the news was disappointing but progress was being made. Studies had revealed that the air which used to circulate in the caves had become immobile. This might explain the fungal outbreaks – and to offer a possible solution, she said.
The paintings were discovered by chance in September 1940. The 600 images of aurochs, wild horses, bison and ibexes are regarded as among the finest cave paintings in the world.
Visions of the past
The Lascaux paintings are in a cave on the left bank of the river Vézère, a tributary of the Dordogne. They include depictions of ibexes facing off, and a “unicorn” chasing a herd of horses. It is thought that they were painted between 15,000 and 17,000 years ago by hunter-gathering people who crushed minerals to create red, ochre, brown and black paints.
The paintings were discovered accidentally by four teenagers in September 1940. After a visit to the caves, the Cubist artist Pablo Picasso declared: “We have invented nothing.” The caverns were closed to the public in 1963 to protect them from just the kind of fungal infections that have appeared over the past eight years. In 1983, a complete life-sized facsimile of the caves and paintings – Lascaux Two – was opened nearby for visitors.

Dordogne English News (Sud-Ouest / France)
In the Dordogne the fruits of these spores, the truffles, grow in chalky soil approximately 0-15 cms below the surface, mainly in association with Oak and Hazelnut trees. Truffles reach maturity in January and February.Truffles are elusive and appear and disappear from one season to the next. This makes them difficult to find or cultivate because you never know exactly where they will grow. The telltale sign of where truffles might be growing is a scorched- looking patch located around a tree, referred to as “brulé”. These can be from a few metres squared to tens of metres squared. Because of their unknown quantity, truffles are shrouded in mystery. This fact, coupled with their distinctive perfume that they pass on to food, makes them much sought and sold for high prices.
The “Period” truffle, the “Tuber Melanosporum”, is known as the “black diamond” and has become one of the most valuable species. This year truffles are being sold in the Dordogne for as much as 850 euros a kilo and because they are a very capricious crop, prices can rise even higher when they are in short supply.
Truffles were originally hunted in the South-west of France using pigs, and more importantly sows, because pigs like to eat truffles. It is said that this is due to certain types of truffles producing a scent similar to that of the male pig’s sex hormone Androstenol. Androstenol is a sex pheromone which is a chemical that releases information to attract a mate. It is analogous to sex hormones and in a male pig, is found in its saliva. The chemical has an aphrodisiacal power that triggers a behavioural response in another member of the same species. A chemical derivative of Androstenol is found in truffles, which is why, some would say, a sow has a natural truffle radar and can sniff out truffles quickly and efficiently. The problem is that when the sow finds a truffle, she isn’t thinking of pleasing her owner. She will want to eat it herself.
Today dogs are more generally used because they are considered to be less trouble. They can be trained to sniff out truffles but not eat them. They are also a lot easier to get in the back of a car.
Sorges
Situated in the heart of truffle country, close to the medieval city of Périgueux, Sorges is the truffle capital of Le Périgord. On entering the village, huge road signs claim the region’s truffles to be the best in the world. In January the village organizes an annual “Fête de la truffe” (this year it was on 20 January) and a truffle-hunting dog competition take place in February.
There are 3 km of truffle grove footpaths to enjoy in the countryside surrounding Sorges. Here you can see for yourself the flora typical of a truffle grove as well as traditional stone “cabanes”. Access to the footpaths is free (with a ticket from the tourist office). Guided visits take place during July and August.
Truffle museum
Being the truffle capital of the Dordogne, Sorges boasts its very own truffle museum, “L’Ecomusée de la truffe”, which is housed in the “Maison de la truffe”. The museum offers a good introduction to the mysteries of the truffle and its cultivation : the type of soil truffles grow in, the different types of truffles, the Period truffle, the tools used to unearth them, research on truffles, the various truffle markets in the region and what truffles can be used for. There is also a film showing how truffles are hunted using dogs, information on the “Fédération des trufficulteurs”, how to buy a truffle or how to create and cultivate a truffle grove. Various products made from truffles are also on sale from truffle aperitifs, to sauces, vinegars, soups, mustards and even truffle ice cream. Souvenirs and books dedicated to truffles are on sale. Some, although not all, information is provided in English. A visit normally lasts for one hour. Open every day, except Mondays, from 10 am to midday and from 2 - 5 pm. In July and August open from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm and from 2.30 - 6.30 pm.
The museum also organises courses in truffle cultivation and is a documentation centre with over 700 works on truffles and truffle culture.
Truffle market
The truffle market at Sorges, “Le marché aux truffes des villages truffiers”, is one of many truffle markets that take place during the truffle season across the department of the Dordogne.
It takes place every Sunday morning during December and January. The market is strictly controlled by experts belonging to the Federation of truffle cultivators, “La Fédération des trufficulteurs”. The market sells truffle plants as well as truffles. “Contrôleurs” decide on the category the morning’s truffles are put into which will determine the price they can be sold for. In January of this year the price for 1st category truffles was as high as 850€ a kilo. For 2nd category the price was 700-750 € a kilo. The market also has stalls selling duck products, oysters, fish and cheese.

Le Bournat is a reconstituted, Périgourdine village as it would have been in the 1900s and as soon as you walk in you can feel how time has stood still. All you need to do is let yourself become immersed in another world and enjoy it. A visit to the village provides a whole day’s entertainment for all the family with lots of hands-on things to see and do that will not only interest the adults, but capture the children’s attention too.
Among the many interesting things to see are the old lavoir, the forge, the photographer’s shop, a typical house built in the golden stone of the region, the quaint chapel, the farm, the Mairie and a real, working windmill, Le Moulin de Martigne.
Visitors can rediscover forgotten crafts as local craftsmen dressed in traditional costume demonstrate traditional skills of working with materials such as wood, earth and flour. There is a miller, baker, basket maker, glass blower, iron monger, rope maker, clog maker, wood turner, lace maker and potter. The wood-turning demonstration is particularly interesting for children as the craftsman shows how he makes traditional, wooden spinning tops.
In the shop situated at the end of the visit there are examples of the crafts demonstrated in the village. There is also a restaurant, Chez Paul, where you can enjoy meals and snacks made from local produce. A picnic area is also provided.
At the fairground children can enjoy old-fashioned fairground attractions, all for free, as many times as they like…swinging boats, a hall of mirrors and fishing for ducks.
There is even a fortune teller. And why not take the opportunity to have your photograph taken in traditional costume ?

South park of the House
The Vieille Dezie is a great place to stay if you come to the Dordogne and want to stay away from noise and aggravation. Even if secluded it is still only a few minutes away from the Dordogne river and all main attractions. Check out it’s main site at www.frenchgiteindordogne.com
The local markets are great in the Dordogne. They are full will all the local produce and is probably one of the best ways to get and understand what the south-west tradition is all about.
But if you are at a market in the evening in a medieval square and you are sitting at a table with your own plate and cutlery? Wouldn’t that be “the” best way to cool of a hot day in the sun? I certainly think so! And I am asking you to try the experience at one of the “marche nocturne” that are listed below. And by the way: have a great time!
