This week's Geek Girl's Guide on how to live long and prosper involves spread sheets, Microsoft Excel, various charts and maths. This is not just about getting healthy, this is about adding a skill to your CV. 

There are good foods, and there are bad foods, although not in the context we're usually told. So yes, some foods that boost health can also be bad for you. Take red wine, for example. It's good for the heart; it contains tumour-reducing chemicals; it's good for the stomach. However, combining it with driving is inadvisable, and one can become addicted to it. The key is moderation. Alcohol contains 4cal/g and is of little nutritive value for its calorie count; therefore, it counts in the 20% 'because I need comfort food' allowance. [sigh - Squeamish team]

Finally, it is that day we’ve all been waiting for. Unless you have a flour, egg or milk intolerance, in which case you probably have some coping mechanism or alternative vegan recipe down by now.

Shrove Tuesday is here and everyone’s a pancake expert. Come on, it might be hard to successfully flip a pancake but it’s pretty hard to actually ruin a pancake so comprehensively it’s inedible (unless you flip it onto the floor and don’t make the 3 second rule). So we all know how to mix together some eggs, flour and milk the only danger with pancakes is that you might get stuck at the old lemon and sugar filling.

Pastry. Doughy, delicious pastry. Commonly used to illustrate lists of “things you might as well buy rather than make.” And usually, I would agree. Who wants to faff around rolling and re-rolling puff pastry when it comes readymade?  But shortcrust, my friends, is a different matter entirely. Make your own shortcrust pastry and your mince pies will be the best in class. I know Squeamish Kate thinks it’s all about the mincemeat, but I beg to differ. One day we will team up and win Christmas.

Because we don’t post on weekends and because we’re just so devil-may-care we didn’t give you any instructions for Stir Up Sunday. I have no idea if Stir Up Sunday is a real thing or just something that happens on The Archers (oh please, like you are surprised). Ok Google tells me it is a real thing.

Stir up Sunday is the Sunday just before Advent, due to mincemeat and Christmas pudding recipes formerly requiring a long standing period. The reason Squeamish Bikini can smash this rule is because of the noble microwave.
