The Annotated Weekender

Posted in Uncategorized by guardiangirl on February 24, 2010

My life in a picture:

Now I’ve discovered it, I’ll be using The Annotated Weekender as paracetamol for the heart after every tricky recipe.

What is the point of this blog?

I've always found it funny when people write letters to the Guardian's Weekend magazine complaining that the recipe ingredients are too middle class and the fashion only looks good on thin people. After all, it's just a magazine. Or is it? I decided to follow its recipes, fashion and lifestyle advice as closely as possible, to see if the aspirations promoted therein can really be achieved by the average reader who is not especially wealthy, not necessarily model thin and is obliged to work regular office hours. This blog has no affiliation whatsoever with the Guardian but I link to the Weekend magazine website for the purposes of illustration.
