2 w. ago I was 19 and on the trip of a lifetime – then I drank a cocktail laced with methanol

In a bar in Bali, Ashley King was given a lethal drink. A day later, she realised she was going blind. She thought all her dreams were over – but the reality proved very differentThe last night of Ashley King’s holiday shouldn’t have been especially memorable. It was 30 August 2011, and she and her best friend, Krista, went out barhopping in the tourist town of Kuta in southern Bali, as they had done many times before. King and Krista are from Calgary in Canada, and had decided to spend a year travelling after their high school graduation. They planned to explore the island of Bali, but King’s credit cards were stolen and Krista ran out of money, so they were stuck in Kuta, a party district.In one of the swankier bars on the strip, King was given a fruity vodka cocktail in a reusable plastic bottle, so she could dance without spilling it. She was drunk, she says, but not notably so. After nursing their hangovers the next day, she and Krista went to the airport at midnight: King was ...

3 w. ago Notes on chocolate: elegant treats for when the Easter eggs are gone

There’s still time for a little sweetness after the big dayIt’s Easter and this seems the right time to be talking about Christmas. Only joking! I’ll not be eating very much chocolate today because, see past columns and just how much Easter chocolate I have tested.My big weakness at the moment is Luisa’s Sicilian Orange. Although for Easter this came in a flat egg or bunny shape (both were £10.50), it’s the bijou bar I really love, £5.25. It’s made using 75% cocoa chocolate (I would actually love it if Luisa went even higher in this), but with studs of candied Sicilian orange peel throughout. It’s the perfect mix. I tuck a little bar of this in my bag when I go travelling to keep me company and I know that, at 50g for the whole bar – the pieces are pleasingly chunky, it will last me two days. I do wish she’d do this in a bigger bar, but then it would spoil the mini-magic. Continue reading...
