Kids narrating videos seems to be so much more hard hitting than a normal adult speaking. I’m not sure what it is exactly but the innocence to the voice just seems to make you feel instantly guilty about something, even if your not quite sure what your supposed to feel guilty about yet.

Thankfully this video about climate change and its effects gets right to the point and begs for you to help join in the fight against global warming as soon as possible. The video is currently doing the rounds on the internet and at the ends it asks if people can send it around to get it seen as much as possible. So if you care about the environment at all and you want to help a charity cause to stop climate change please facebook/tweet this video to your friends or stick it up on your own blog or forum. All help is good help and sometimes helping makes you feel pretty good!

Do you sometimes walk past some nice Dandelions or a bunch of Roses and just think, wow they look tasty, I’m gonna eat them nom nom nom nom?

No?

Me neither but apparently we are fools for not seeing flowers as tasty cooking treats. The Romans and ancient Greeks were very partial to cooking with roses, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine still uses it and there is even mention of it in the Old Testament.

An article in the Metro is perhaps suggesting that a lot more chefs should use the taste of flowers to good effect and says that chef Shane Osborn, who cooks at a two Michelin starred restaurant in London called Pied à Teere, has been cultivating his own little herb and flower garden on the top of his restaurant!

Now this all sounds a bit mad to me to start with but then I think about it a bit more and really what is any different from eating a flower to eating some herbs or a bit of parsley? Now I am looking out of my window at the flowerbeds below and all I can think of is trying to eat them all. Delicious food also for the most part looks really nice and what looks nicer than flowers?

So I think the next time I get my shopping I’m going to get some flower delivery as well and look up some recipes because this sounds just weird enough that it should be (and taste) utterly fantastic!
