We've been making this midweek meal for a long time. It never disappoints. Just tip six ingredients into a baking dish… and bake! Scroll to the end of the post to watch my quick how-to video.
This meal is on regular rotation at our house, whatever the season. It's definitely one of those recipes I'm wondering why I haven't shared already.
And in fact Mr. Scrummy has been nagging me to post it for months (possibly even more than a year – ooops, poor Mr. Scrummy!).
So why haven't I until now? Well, mostly it's because I've always seen this particular meal as Mr. Scrummy's domain. He often asks if I'd like him to cook, cool and helpful husband that he is, and many times he serves this.
Which means one important thing, of course… it's been perfected over many, many 'makes'.
We really hope you come to love this simple recipe as much as we do, and make it time and time again. It's a lot more delicious than the sum of its parts, with only five main ingredients. Quite simply, oodles of flavour oozes from the generous amounts of chorizo, garlic and basil dumped into the dish.
Really, nothing else is needed – just a pile of toasted, olive-oiled bread or creamy mashed potatoes to eat alongside it.
This is a true one-dish meal. Throw everything into the baking dish – don't even peel the garlic cloves (squeeze that roasted deliciousness into the food on your plate instead!) – and the massive amounts of small tomatoes will melt over the chicken and other flavours, leaving you with a beautifully tasty sauce.
Talking of the tomatoes… you might be a bit shocked by how many you're tipping into the dish, but don't worry, you haven't weighed them out wrongly. They'll bake down to just the right amount. Here in the UK punnets of cherry tomatoes are fairly cheap, but to be honest with you you could use any kind of tomatoes in this dish. If bigger tomatoes happen to be on sale where you are, just chop them into smaller chunks and toss them in.
The most work you have to do for this recipe is peeling and chopping the chorizo. The chicken thighs, garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes go in as they are, making dinner the night you make this as easy as you can imagine.
I'm on a bit of a roll with my videos this month, so I decided to make you one for this recipe, even though it's possibly one of the easiest dinner recipes on the blog so far! Let's just say it's to prove to you JUST how easy it is.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4 to 5
- 750 grams (about 1.5 pounds) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 bulb of garlic, split into cloves but unpeeled
- salt and pepper
- 1 'ring' of chorizo (about 225 grams / 8 ounces), skinned and chopped or torn into smallish chunks
- 1 big bunch of fresh basil, chopped or torn
- 1.25 kilos / 2.75 pounds tomatoes (I use cherry tomatoes for ease, but any small tomatoes or chopped larger ones will work)
- a drizzle of olive oil (about a tablespoon)
- a drizzle of balsamic vinegar (about a tablespoon) – optional
- toasted bread with olive oil and salt, or mashed potatoes (to serve)
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 355F.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish. Scatter the garlic cloves in between/over them, then grind over a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Scatter the chorizo pieces over the chicken, followed by the basil and then the tomatoes.
- Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if using), then bake for 50 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly charred and bubbling and the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned where it pokes through the sauce (toss and stir once half way through cooking).
- Serve in dishes with the toasted bread or over mashed potatoes, as you choose.
I leave the garlic unpeeled so it roasts in the skins – perfect for squeezing out into the tomato-ey sauce! You can peel the garlic though if you prefer.
This makes great leftovers! Simply serve into dishes, cover and reheat in a microwave for about 4.5 minutes.
Why not save this to one of your Pinterest food boards for later? 🙂

Its aims are to promote knowledge of black history and the positive contributions Black people have made to British Society and to heighten the awareness of Black people in their cultural heritage.
The origins of BHM go back to 1926 when Carter G Woodson, editor for 30 years of the Journal of Negro History, established African Caribbean celebrations in America. Akyaaba Addai Sebbo set up Black History Month in Britain. He worked with the Greater London Council (GLC) to establish the event in 1987. Click here to to find out more.
The International Day of Older Persons is an opportunity to highlight the important contributions that older people make to society and raise awareness of the issues and challenges of ageing in today's world.

World Vegetarian Day was founded in 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) and was endorsed by the International Vegetarian Union in 1978.
The day begins a month of celebrations and special days, and aims to promote the awareness of the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. The month includes: World Farm Animals Day (Oct 2nd), The Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi (Oct 4th - see below), World Food Day (Oct 16th) and concludes with World Vegan Day (Nov 1st).

World Smile Day is celebrated each year on the first Friday in October. The idea was started by Harvey Ball, an American commercial artist, who created the Smiley Face in 1963. He felt his symbol had become over-commercialised and the original meaning lost, and thought we should all devote one day a year to smiles and kind acts.
The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion. Harvey's idea was that for at least one day each year, neither should we; the first World Smile Day was held in 1999. Make sure you smile at someone today!

FALLS TWP. – Pennsbury junior shortstop Sydney Jakimowicz started the season batting leadoff and was at that position in the lineup as recently as the team's non-league win over Conwell-Egan on Easter Saturday.
Now, here she was batting ninth after the Lady Falcons' mercy-ruled 10-0 loss Tuesday at archrival Neshaminy.
Both the Pennsbury shortstop and the team rebounded in a big way, with a solid 5-1 triumph over Suburban One National League rival Council Rock South Thursday on the Falcons' home field.
Jakimowicz hit 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and a stolen base as Pennsbury outpaced the Golden Hawks, 5-1.
"It doesn't really matter to me. I just want to help out my team the best I can," said Jakimowicz. "Wherever they want to put to help out the team, it's all good to me."
After the Falcons' 10-0 loss to the Lady Skins Tuesday, April 18 on Pennsbury's home field, the Falcons were looking to rebound against a league opponent. It just so happened that CR South was the victim, in this situation.
"This win was really important because of the way we took the loss with Neshaminy and the way we came back as a team, together," said Jakimowicz.
The Hawks actually took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a leadoff double by senior Stephanie Andreoli, a sac-bunt by freshman Kylie Woloshyn and a bunt single by senior Melanie Wilkinson.
But the Falcons (7-2) answered back with four runs in the bottom of the second inning. An RBI single by Pennsbury sophomore Allison Rose and an RBI double by senior Mia Pitt were the big hits, though the Golden Hawks didn't help their own cause with a pair of errors in the frame.
Pennsbury had runners at the corners in the second inning when Sierra Daley slapped a ball to third base. Wilkinson threw the ball home but the runner turned around halfway down the line. The ensuing throw to third base sailed into left field, scoring the first unearned run.
Rose followed with a single to left field that was bobbled, scoring another unearned run and putting the Falcons on top 3-1, this time to stay.
CR South (6-2) has had to scramble its middle infield with an early-season injury to senior shortstop Phylicia Wilkov that has limited her to hitting duties.
"It's tough," said Wilcov, who is headed to Yale. "We had to move some things around. My arm has been bothering me so I've only been able to hit. We had to switch up our infield, whose catching and our outfield so it's been a big adjustment."
For the game, Pennsbury junior righthander Alyssa Hileman tossed a three-hitter, striking out eight batters while walking none. Her counterpart, South freshman righthander Danielle Walters, surrendered five runs on seven hits, striking out seven batters and walking three.
Falcons second baseman Sierra Daley hit 2-for-3 with an RBI and run scored.
Andreoli opened the game with a double and a run scored for the Golden Hawks but that was all the offense South would muster in this one.

Commenting on the publication today (Monday) of Laying the Foundations, the first report from the Industrial Strategy Commission, TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said:
"It's a helpful start, which gets to grips with much of the nuts and bolts needed for a proper UK industrial strategy. And there is very welcome emphasis on productivity and growth outside of London, and in communities where good jobs are in short supply.
"We encourage the Commission to focus their attention next on workforce engagement. Working people are the engine that drives industry, and when they're listened to, businesses are more likely to succeed.
"Trade unions, government and business need a new framework for working together towards shared goals, like improving the quality of jobs and raising living standards. And corporate governance reforms – such as rules to require workers' seats on company boards – could improve the quality and long-term focus of decision making in Britain's businesses."

A tree grows in Revere
None of the students could guess the acronym for DCR, but they all knew the benefits of the trees they helped state and city officials plant Friday to launch an effort to increase Revere's tree canopy by 10 percent.
"Oxygen!" "Shade," students answered when asked the benefits of trees.
"Great answer!" Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew A. Beaton replied. "I ask all of you to take this opportunity … we need to tell as many people as possible that this program exists, and spread the word and contact the city or Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to help get the word out that folks want a tree and want to be part of the program."
Beaton, Mayor Dan Rizzo, Massachusetts Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo, State Rep. RoseLee Vincent, State Sen. Anthony Petruccelli, DCR Commissioner Carol Sanchez and employees, and fifth-graders at the Beachmont Veterans Memorial School gathered Friday morning to plant an American elm, a post oak, a red maple and a linden tree behind the school at Fredericks Park.
The tree planting ceremony marked the expansion of the Greening the Gateway Cities Program to Revere. The program targets the Commonwealth's 26 Gateway Cities and uses tree planting to reduce energy use in high density urban neighborhoods and lower heating and cooling costs for residents and businesses. The goal is to increase the urban tree canopy by 10 percent in selected neighborhoods. Beaton said such action will save the average homeowner approximately $230 a year in heating and cooling costs once the trees reach maturity. The trees also reduce stormwater runoff, improve air quality, increase property values and tax receipts, and promote a safer and healthier environment, according to Beaton.
The program is spearheaded by the DCR and has so far led to the planting of 2,000 trees in Chelsea, Fall River and Holyoke. This June, local workers in Revere and Chicopee will plant 100 trees.
DeLeo said that attention to Revere's natural resources has led to a revitalization of the city. But he also noted that green space remains under immense pressure.
"As a former selectman, but more importantly a citizen in this particular area, I know too often the benefit of open spaces, gardens and playgrounds that are often overlooked," DeLeo said. "With projects like today's, we change that. We give our children a greener place to play, and a more welcoming place for families and friends to come together."
And it's a welcoming place for politicians and students to come together, too, as students and legislators grabbed shovels to place dirt around an American elm.
"I've never planted a tree before — but I plant my mother's flowers for Mother's Day," said student P.J. Mundis.
Rizzo said the program was particularly beneficial because of last summer's tornado.
"It tore up not only buildings, houses and infrastructure, but the lion's share of trees," Rizzo said. "There couldn't be a more timely program that the City of Revere is involved in."

2016-2017 Most Successful winter season at Aston Park
Congratulations to all our team players who turned out in some terrible conditions (is it ever not windy and /or wet at the weekends?) over the winter of 2016/17. It has been the club's most successful winter and we fielded 7 teams for the first time.
We have one set of Champions- our Ladies 2 team finished top of Division 6, an exceptional achievement given it was their first year in this league having just been promoted from Division 7. There seems to be no stopping these ladies and Sarah Baker, Sue Hoey and Sue Andrew hold the top 3 spots in the players' statistics for that league.
2nd places were secured by our Ladies 1 team and Mixed 2 team. Ladies 1 bounced back from the disappointment of being demoted by just a half set in 2015/16 and were beaten only by league winners, Long Crendon, who have some exceptionally strong women in their ranks. Glen Hickson, Pamela Reid, Marie Jones and Eileen Greenall are listed in the top 5 spots in the players' statistics for that league. Our Mixed 2 team performed exceptionally well and have secured promotion from Division 7 for the first time.
Our Mens 1 team, who play in the lofty heights of Division 3, put in some spirited performances to finish mid-table and stay in Division 3 for 2017/18. This is an excellent achievement, especially given there were 10 players who represented the club at this level. Simon Sluszny was ranked in the top ten in the players' statistics for Division 3.
Our Mixed 1 team came within a whisker of being promoted to Division 3 for the first time but in the end lost out to Aylesbury 2 by a half –set. Mid-way through the season it became clear we had a chance of promotion and we made some team changes to focus on sending out our strongest team to every fixture. Spirited performances against Chesham Bois 2 with a narrow loss of 5-3 sets and Aylesbury 2, with a score line of 3.5-4.5 sets, meant we just didn't quite do enough and we secured 3rd place. Pamela Reid finished in 2nd spot in the players' statistics for that league.
We fielded a Ladies 3 team for the first time and while this resulted in the players' pools being spread quite thinly, the ladies gained valuable experience from playing competitive club matches. Mens 2 had mixed fortunes and are waiting to see if they will survive in Division 6 next year.
I would like to thank all players and particularly the Team Captains for giving up their time to represent the club. All organisations rely on volunteers and we are lucky that we have people who put their hand up to Captain tennis teams on top of their day jobs and family commitments.
We are always keen to introduce new players to our team pools so do contact the relevant Captain if you would like to be considered for forthcoming matches.
Summer season 2017 is now on us with matches in the first weeks of the season bringing positive starts for Mens 2 and Mixed 1. Good Luck everyone!
Ladies Captain

'Congratulations and thanks to our honorary member, John Dodds who solved the problem of the kite without incurring any expense to the club. Well Done!
Netball on Thursdays
Starting on 29th September 2016 Wendover Netball Club will be using the court for their practice on Thursday Evening from 6.30-7.45. We hope this doesn't prove too much of a distraction to the men's mix-in!!! If there are matches on Thursday evening the netball practice will be cancelled.
Second team Women's successful season
Congratulations to Sarah, Sue A, Sue H, Kerry and Anna on winning the ADTL 7th Division 2015/2016 winter season. Well done all of you.
Loosening the nets after play
Please could all the members ensure that they loosen the nets after playing. If this is not done they tighten after being wet and can severely damage the new courts. I am aware that the new summer members may not have been advised that this is necessary but believe me it is. I've seen the damage that can be caused by failing to take this simple precaution and it's horrendous.
Back to netball!
If you would like to get back to netball contact Molly on 07545 033 986.
Coach Name: Molly Wilkinson
Coach Contact Number: 07545033986
Coach Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Courtesy of Taylor Wimpey who donated £500.00 towards the cost of installing a moveable net for court three, the netball clubs now have a much easier time getting the court ready for their practice sessions.

WW2 Evacuee Day
Year 6's topic last term was the Battle of Britain during World War 2. The children wanted to find out what it was like to be an evacuee for the day.
They all rose to the occassion and dressed accordingly. After meeting at Plymouth Railway Station they travelled on the Tamar Valley Line to Calstock. Many parents came to the station to wave them off. On arriving at Calstock they walked to the quay and sketched the viaduct and the river. Following that, they went to the Arts Centre where they played traditional games that children would have enjoyed at the time.
A great day out!

As the Utah State Legislature considers two bills on the use of medical marijuana, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued the following statements outlining its position.
Church Statement Issued Friday, February 12, 2016
While we are not in a position to evaluate specific medical claims, the Church understands that there are some individuals who may benefit from the medical use of compounds found in marijuana. For that reason, although the Church opposes SB 73, it has raised no objection toSB 89. These two competing pieces of legislation take very different approaches when it comes to issues like access, distribution, control and the potential harm of the hallucinogenic compound, THC.
In addition to the therapeutic, treatment, and control questions, there are several other important issues to be resolved. At the forefront is that the use of medical marijuana is still illegal under federal law. We agree with groups such as the American Medical Association, who have said (see the AMA policy below) that further study is warranted before significant public policy decisions on marijuana are advanced. For these reasons, the Church urges a cautious approach.
American Medical Association Policy – H-95.952 Cannabis for Medicinal Use
(1) Our AMA calls for further adequate and well-controlled studies of marijuana and related cannabinoids in patients who have serious conditions for which preclinical, anecdotal, or controlled evidence suggests possible efficacy and the application of such results to the understanding and treatment of disease. (2) Our AMA urges that marijuana's status as a federal schedule I controlled substance be reviewed with the goal of facilitating the conduct of clinical research and development of cannabinoid-based medicines, and alternate delivery methods. This should not be viewed as an endorsement of state-based medical cannabis programs, the legalization of marijuana, or that scientific evidence on the therapeutic use of cannabis meets the current standards for a prescription drug product. (3) Our AMA urges the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop a special schedule and implement administrative procedures to facilitate grant applications and the conduct of well-designed clinical research involving cannabis and its potential medical utility. This effort should include: a) disseminating specific information for researchers on the development of safeguards for cannabis clinical research protocols and the development of a model informed consent form for institutional review board evaluation; b) sufficient funding to support such clinical research and access for qualified investigators to adequate supplies of cannabis for clinical research purposes; c) confirming that cannabis of various and consistent strengths and/or placebo will be supplied by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to investigators registered with the DEA who are conducting bona fide clinical research studies that receive FDA approval, regardless of whether or not the NIH is the primary source of grant support. (4) Our AMA believes that effective patient care requires the free and unfettered exchange of information on treatment alternatives and that discussion of these alternatives between physicians and patients should not subject either party to criminal sanctions.(CSA Rep. 10, I-97; Modified: CSA Rep. 6, A-01; Modified: CSAPH Rep. 3, I-09; Modified in lieu of Res. 902, I-10; Reaffirmed in lieu of Res. 523, A-11; Reaffirmed in lieu of Res. 202, I-12; Reaffirmed: CSAPH Rep. 2, I-13)
Church Statement Issued Friday, February 5, 2016
As we have said during previous legislative sessions, there are a number of potential impacts that must be considered in any discussion about the legalization of medical marijuana, including balancing medical need with the necessity of responsible controls.
Along with others, we have expressed concern about the unintended consequences that may accompany the legalization of medical marijuana. We have expressed opposition to [SB 73] because of that concern. We are raising no objection to the other bill that addresses this issue.

Muddy buddies with the flavors of chocolate chip cookie dough!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Buddies
Also seen on Mommy to my Tommy
Ingredients1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
6 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons chocolate chips ( mini )
6 ounces white chocolate
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 cups rice chex
DirectionsMeasure out the Chex cereal in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together the sugars, flour, and salt. Mix well, making sure there are no lumps of brown sugar. Microwave the white chocolate in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth. Stir in the oil. Pour the chocolate over the Chex cereal and stir carefully until the cereal is well coated. Stir* in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips until well distributed. Pour in the flour/sugar mixture and remaining chocolate chips until all the cereal is coated. Enjoy!
*Adding the chocolate chips at this stage ensures that the chips don't just sink to the bottom of the bowl if they were added with the flour/sugar mixture.

Flat Rock Speedway saw a first time winner, a second time winner and a third time winner Saturday night on Walt Michal RV Center Night. Chad Guinn jumped into the lead from his pole position with Steve Cronenwett following in his tire tracks.
Flat Rock Speedway saw a first time winner, a second time winner and a third time winner Saturday night on Walt Michal RV Center Night.
Chad Guinn jumped into the lead from his pole position with Steve Cronenwett following in his tire tracks. The pair raced nose to tail with Rick Knowles catching the pair about the 1/2 way point. Knowles moved around Cronenwett to take over the 2nd position on lap 22. Meanwhile, Stan Yee Jr had been utilizing the 2nd groove on his move towards the front. With 5 laps remaining in the 35 lap feature, Yee Jr sailed around Guinn & went on for his first career SLM win. The Roseville, Michigan also a set fast time of 11.646, one of the fastest times set in recent memory. Yee Jr's qualifying time was only .13 off of the track record of 11.511 set August 18, 1990. Knowles got around Guinn for 2nd, while Guinn held on for 3rd. The battle for 4th came down to nearly a tie as Rob Randa, Royce Cornett & Bill Steinhilber came across the line three wide. Randa beat the other two by about a foot, while Cornett took 5th by an inch or so over Steinhilber.
Randy Cronenwett held off a determined Robbie Loving on the way to his second Figure 8 feature of 1998. Cronenwett won his heat and led all 20 laps of the feature.
For the 3rd time in 5 races, Ron Allen's white & red #86 Monte Carlo graced victory lane in the Street Stock A Main division. Allen started on the outside pole and, like Cronenwett, led all the laps in the feature. In the final laps of the 25 lap feature, Brian Norton closed in on Allen but wasn't able to complete the pass.
Five races, five faces describe the competitive Street Stock B Main division. No repeat winners have made their way to victory lane in 1998. This week, Kevin Butzin took home the feature win giving himself a nice birthday present. Butzin fought off heavy pressure from Mo Volckaert for most of the 15 lap race but Volckaert wasn't able to get around Butzin's red #89 Grand Prix, settling for 2nd place.

In the mists and mountains of north-eastern Borneo indigenous Dayaks are struggling to save one of the fast dwindling tracts of primordial rain forest still left on the world's third largest island, aided by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and banking on the potential for ecological tourism.
Borneo has become a byword for environmental devastation, especially Kalimantan, the Indonesian three quarters of the island which in the 1980s and 90s earned the dubious distinction of hosting arguably the most intensive logging the world has ever seen in an environmental rape that was nearly three times the rate of Amazonian deforestation as assessed by wood per acre.
Jungle destruction
Vast tracts of jungle were slashed and burned to make way for agricultural land and palm oil plantations. But it would be wrong to assume the island now resembles a vast desert - it does not, much is green from regrowing secondary forest and palms - or that all primary jungle has vanished. It has not, although by some estimates over two thirds have already succumbed to timber concessions, illegal logging abetted by corrupt officials, and mining.
More jungle destruction
One such pristine area is Wehea in north-eastern Kalimantan, spared devastation by its mountainous terrain and inaccessibility. Rising from 1,000 feet to over 4,000, hence totally unsuitable for palm oil plantations, it is run by the Wehea Dayaks, with the NGO Integrated Conservation (ICON) advising on sustainable management to preserve both flora and fauna.
Getting there is not easy or cheap. Just the three-hour 4X4 trip from the nearest road-head near Muara Wahau costs $400 return, unless you're lucky enough to get a hitch. To get to Muara Wahau from Samarinda, the provincial capital, can take three days by bus.
Secondary jungle view
I plump for a four-day $1,000 'Wehea Rain Forest Adventure,' flying into Berau for the four-hour drive south to Muara Wahau.
As usual on the Looney Front, things don't go quite according to plan. At Berau airport., two gents rush up belatedly, identifying themselves as Eric, the guide, and Julianje, the driver. They push me into a dust-stained car to go to a crummy cafe.
More secondary jungle
We're still there an hour and a half later. Eric, who distorts his few English phrases so expertly that he sounds like Fronk, Martin Short's wedding planner in Father of the Bride, is mumbling on about a 'four-will wife.'
A phone call to the tour organiser in Samarinda, clarifies. A four-wheel drive will be along in a half an hour. Another hour and some odd-sounding phone calls later, they pile me into the same low-slung car and we're off. We'll meet the 4X4 along the way.
Dust swirls from open coal mining and fire scars still smoulder where locals have burned down the jungle for farming. The chainsaws of the would-be farmers whine away loud and clear.
Jungle being burned near Berau
At last we enter primary jungle. The road becomes atrocious - pot-holed, cratered, gulch-gouged. Just what our low-slung chariot needs! Julianje, who has just been overtaken by a snail, says it'll take another eight hours.
Forest view on the Berau-Muara Wahau road
He speaks English better than Eric. Both, it transpires, are Filipino scuba instructors from Derawan Island, Berau's main tourist draw. So what are two diving instructors, skilled as they may be in the watery deep, doing taking me into deepest primary jungle? To scuba up trees?
Four hours later, I get a response. It's nearly dark and we jounce to a halt. Across the way, a large trunk plonked behind and another in front, is a 4X4, with a very flat tyre. A dapper man rushes over.
'Hi, I'm Rahim, your jungle guide,' quoths he in perfect English.
And Eric? 'Ah, I asked him to take you along since I couldn't get to Berau. This is our third puncture. We've no more spares, so the driver's hitched to Berau with the two others for repairs.' He hands over a Dutch couple he's brought this far to Eric.
Another view from Berau-Muara Wahau road
And our onward drive? 'Oh don't worry, we'll hitch.' Without breaking a sweat, the ever-smiling can-do Rahim flags down a 4X4. In no time we're in the air-conditioned van winging over roads both smooth and rough - very rough. It's 8.30 pm when we reach Muara Wahau.
Next morning Rahim's bustling about with more glad tidings. The driver's still in Berau, tyres un-fixed. But two national park 4X4s are just round the corner. 'Just one problem,' he adds. 'They're both broken.'
Primary jungle
But can-do Rahim manages to pull a 4X4 out of his hat. It belongs to a lady driver, Efi, and he recruits her for the three-hour 45-mile drive. Let's just say her car's seen better days: the air conditioning died in the last century, the steering column cover is missing, yards of wire hang out of it, and other entrails protrude from various cavities.
Development and deforestation behind us, enveloped by the lushness of primary jungle, we're romping along a dirt track when we start waltzing gently to port. Within minutes it's graduated to a raucous grinding and we're rock 'n' rolling.
More primary jungle
Efi slams on the brakes. Our rear left wheel is sprayed outwards. Only one lug nut is left, empty holes the only evidence where the other five were. Our lives have been hanging by the nut equivalent of a hair.
Efi jacks us up, screws in two spares she has for just such occasions, takes another from the right rear wheel, then bums others from a passing truck driver, who works for a logging concession granted within the primary forest outside the reserve.
Legal logging in primary forest
Large trucks loaded down with massive trunks pass in billowing clouds of orange dust as part of a sustainable logging initiative - strictly controlled by Dayak guard stations, size and number limited, endangered Ulin iron wood out of bounds.
The jungle track
We're grinding up a muddy incline when Efi stalls. Trees 150 feet tall and vast canopies of green fill the valleys and mountainsides. Humongous lianas conjure up 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' visions. The engine's so hot it won't start. We wait half an hour for it to cool.
Waiting for the 4X4 to cool
A few hundred yards on, Efi does a reprise. At last we reach the entrance to the 147-square-mile park, about half the land area of New York City, home to orangutans, gibbons, macaques, cloud leopards and much else threatened by deforestation..
Park entrance
The lodge, by a jungle stream and little waterfall, is a basic two-storey hut of creaky rickety planks and bare rooms, with a sit-down toilet and cold shower.
Wehea jungle lodge
Brent Loken, ICON's Canadian executive director, would prefer no tree felling at all in the forest surrounding the park. But he says the logging here is an advance on indiscriminate felling, especially as palm oil plantations completely deplete the soil after 16 to 20 years, requiring huge amounts of pesticide. As for mining, that's even more devastating.
He notes that orangutans are more adaptable than previously thought and less adversely affected by this logging. He has also found that they walk much more on the ground than previously thought. If there's a path, they'll choose it rather than climb through the trees.
Little waterfall by lodge
Stephanie, a primatology professor from Wisconsin who's been coming here for the past five summers with her students, saw a big male orangutan with large cheek pads on the ground only yesterday. He climbed up a tree, threw down branches and made the so-called kiss-tweet noises that sound like a slobbery smacker followed by a whistle, to show his displeasure at the intrusion.
Time then for Yours Truly's walk in the woods. After an hour and a half of upping and downing forested hills, the grand total of sightings by our three musketeers - Rahim, Umar, a local Dayak guide, and Yours Truly - is exactly zilch.
Jungle bloom
Zilch, that is, except for the leeches which Rahim burns off my socks and shoes with his lighter. On the plus side I haven't yet fallen, while Rahim is even now sprawled on his arse in the mud with a bemused grin on his face.
Next morning we're again puffing up a steep muddy hill on the other side of the waterfall, on the ridge where Stephanie saw her orangutan. Brent saw him too. So our chances look good, right?
A few hours roaming around humongous fallen tree trunks, sliding on slickened leaves and sitting expectantly on damp branches listening to the loud electronic whistles of the insects - and not even can-do Rahim can bring on Stephanie's orangutan.
Where lightning strikes
Our grand total: two giant ants fighting or mating - that's the same thing, ain't it? - on a tree trunk, many bird sounds, and two leeches on my socks. Make that three. Blood traces on my calf show a third sucked right through my jeans.
Jungle ants having a go
Some hikes are strenuous, up steep mountainsides through almost impenetrable vegetation to waterfalls and look-outs. They can take hours - and buckets of sweat - just to cover a few miles. I'm not into that, so in the afternoon we walk by the riverside. This time even the leeches ignore me.
Jungle stream
One last chance, a night walk - actually a nip across the grass to the other shack where a ranger has spotted a greater slow loris, a civet-like animal with blue eyes. 'This is the one animal you will see,' quoths Stephanie, 'you can't miss it. They throw out rice to attract them.'
We trip daintily across the grass to ground zero, our torchlight-girt foreheads bobbing expectantly. The bird has already flown, or whatever slow loris do as they scamper back up trees.
Jungle lodge
Rahim, Brent, Umar and Stephanie console me on my spiffing two days of animal spotting. It's not easy to spot animals in the jungle since they hide very well at the sound of intrusion, quoth they; one has to be extremely lucky; this is not like an African safari where animals appear on call, they add.
Others report greater luck here. Anyway, just being in primary jungle makes it worth it.
Approach to jungle lodge
Suddenly my luck turns. At the moment when my wildlife watch seems at its most jejune, an unprecedented jungle display takes place on the shack's porch. One of Stephanie's students, an ample guy, takes up a tiny mandolin, just like the one Marilyn Monroe strummed away at in Some Like It Hot - strumming away just like her.
Now how many of you Borneo wildlife buffs have ever seen one of those in the wild?

If ordering without the Petporte these will be sent using Royal Mail 1st Class and not 24 Hour Courier. Frequently Asked Questions: 1. What does this cat flap give us that other cat flaps do not? Unlike other cat flaps, the Pet Porte Smart Flap does not require your pet to wear an access device suspended from its collar, for example a magnet or infrared transmitter. The Pet Porte Smart Flap recognizes the normal microchip implanted under your pet's skin, thus allowing it entry; therefore it does not require the use of a collar or accessory. In addition, the Smart Flap has the facility of an optional automatic twilight lock-down that prevents pets from going outside once the light level starts to reduce. Statistically, most road traffic accidents and cat fights occur at night so, by using this facility, it will help to prevent your pet being injured. The scanner coil is housed in a unique canopy on the outside of the unit. This enables you cat to be detected and for the flap to be unlocked before it reaches it. The canopy also provides some weather proofing for the door and some protection for your cat when exiting. Another advantage of moving the scanner away from the door is that it is less likely to be affected by any metal within the materials of the door. There is often a metal security sheet within UPVC doors that could interfere with the scanning process but this is less likely with the Smart Flap because the scanner coil is suspended away from the door. No cover is required on the underside of the canopy to enclose the scanner coil. 2. Does my pet have to be microchipped for the Pet Porte Smart Flap to work? Yes. Your pet must be microchipped for the Pet Porte cat flap to be able to recognize each individual animal. The Pet Porte will not allow any microchipped animal access, only those that have been programmed in. 3. How can I tell if my pet's microchip will work with the cat flap? The Pet Porte cat flap will read fifteen-digit microchips; these are the microchips that are used in the UK and throughout Europe. It will not read the ten-digit American microchips. If you would like to ensure that your pet's number will work call us on 0800 107 7202 so we can check your microchip number. Please note that your microchip number cannot start with (98514) or (977) or contain the digits (77) in the 5th and 6th digit location. Not compatible with AVID chips & some Identichips. 4. Does it matter where my pet is microchipped? There are international conventions indicating where different species should be microchipped. Dogs and cats should be microchipped in the scruff of their necks. As your pet then attempts to access the Pet Porte, its microchip passes under the scanner housed within the porch, allowing the chip to be recognized. 5. Can the implanting of a microchip harm my pet? Microchipping has no known harmful effects in dogs. In cats there is a theoretical risk associated with any injection. Statistics show that 1 in 10,000 cats that have an injection are at risk of developing an injection-site tumour. However, this is very rare and is certainly no reason to stop vaccinating or microchipping your cat because, generally, the risks are outweighed by the protection that is provided. 6. Do we have to send you the microchip number? No, you do not need to send us your pet's microchip number. You should check that the Pet Porte can detect your cat's microchip before fitting it to your door or wall. Simply assemble the Pet Porte as instructed and plug it in. Then press the green paw button for ten seconds before passing the scanner over your cat at the distance that your cat will approach the cat flap when fitted. Once detected your cat will have been programmed in. For each animal that is to use the cat flap, repeat the procedure. It's that simple! 7. My cat already has a collar - does this matter? No, for the Pet Porte cat flap it does not matter if your pet wears a collar or not; it is the under-skin microchip that is recognized and not the collar. Whilst Pet Porte Limited advertises that no collar is needed, we do not suggest that pets should not wear a collar. There are many instances where a collar is desirable, for example high-visibility collars, special-diet instruction collars to name but a few. However, we do recommend that any collar worn should be of the breakaway variety in order to prevent injury to your pet. 8. Does the original Pet Porte cat flap work on batteries? The Door Mounted versions can be powered by batteries rather than low voltage power supply. For operation of all functions and the quickest response to your cat we recommend you use the low voltage power supply because the unit is scanning constantly. This can be backed up with battery power and in the event of a power cut the basic functions of the Smart Flap will be retained. 9. What functions work with the Smart Flap on battery only mode? If you want to power your Smart Flap by battery alone some of the functions will not be possible. In particular night mode will no longer function due to the nature of constantly monitoring light levels. The response time to your cat will be a little extended because it has to push against the flap to activate the scanner which in turn means the Smart Flap cannot run on batteries if fitted to a wall as your pet will have passed the scanner before it pushes the flap to activate it. 10. What type of battery does the Smart Flap require? The Smart Flap requires a PP3 9V battery similar to those found in most home smoke alarms. To get the best continual use out of the battery we recommend the use of a Lithium based battery, as these offer far superior battery life. 11. How do I fit / change the battery in the Smart Flap? To access the battery compartment use a "slot ended" or straight screw driver to gently lift the battery cover plate with the writing "Pet Porte Smart Flap" above the opening on the indoor section of the unit. 12. How long will the battery last for? Under normal circumstances and operation the battery should last 6 months but this will vary depending on the traffic through the flap! When the battery power levels are low and the battery needs replacing the green light will illuminate and the red light will flash intermittently. 13. What if I wish to run the Smart Flap on low voltage power and my nearest power socket is too far away? The Pet Porte cat flap comes with a 1.8-metre power lead which is often sufficient to reach the nearest power socket. If, however, your power socket is further away, then we do sell 5-metre extension leads which are compatible with the cat flap. 14. What happens if there is a power cut? The basic programmed functions of your Smart Flap will continue to operate during a power cut if you have fitted a battery into the unit. The response time to your cat will be slightly extended because the cat has to activate the scanner by pushing on the door. 15. If there is a power cut, do I have to re-program in all my pets again? No, once your pets have been programmed in, you will not need to repeat the procedure, even in the event of a power failure. 16. Is the Pet Porte weather-resistant? The Smart Flap has been designed and constructed to resist the adverse effects of weather. To clean your Pet Porte simply wipe the unit with a damp cloth, please do not power wash the unit. (Please ensure that you do not use too much water on the damp cloth!) 17. Can the Pet Porte be fitted into glass doors and double-glazed units? To simplify the fitting of the Smart Flap into windows, double or single glazed, it has been designed to fit into a circular cut out of 212mm diameter. The installation would need to be done by a qualified tradesman who has the equipment to cut holes in glass. 18. Can the cat flap be fitted into solid and cavity walls? Yes, but you must use a "wall model" which has a longer wire between the indoor and outdoor sections, the door versions have about 12cms of wire, whereas the wall-mounted models have about 38cm of wire. We do not provide wall fixing screws because the type needed will vary greatly depending on the wall construction. Various fixing types are available depending on the wall's construction: chemifix bolts and nuts, screws fixed into inter-set or plastic rawl plugs, nylon self drill or polytoggle. An opening must be formed in the wall at the appropriate height for your cat to be scanned, based on the rectangular template provided. The opening should be formed by a qualified builder avoiding utility supplies and not damaging the integrity of buildings damp proof courses. The principle difference between fitting the Smart Flap through a wall and a door is the method of fixing the indoor and outdoor sections to the walls. To fix the indoor section to the wall utilize the four 5mm diameter holes in the corners of the interior section that are accessible with the front cover removed. To fix the outdoor section to the wall utilize the two 6mm diameter holes in the sides of the exterior frame that support the canopy The Smart Flap comes with a single tunnel section that provides 52mm length. Extra tunnel extensions can be purchased each providing 40mm additional length. These are not provided with wall models because wall thicknesses vary and some people prefer to form their own tunnels using marine grade plywood. Some people choose to dispense with the canopy and place the scanner coil on top of a tunnel liner by creating an additional space within the wall void to accommodate it. 19. What do I need to fit the Pet Porte cat flap? The Smart Flap is designed to be fitted to a door up to 52mm thick. Larger thicknesses can be accommodated by using extension tunnels or a suitable liner. The hole for the Smart Flap cat flap needs to be square of 168mm by 168mm or a circle of 212mm diameter. We suggest that the hole should be towards the bottom of the door in order to make it easier for your pet to enter and exit. Ideally, there needs to be an electrical socket within 1.8 meters of the cat flap but we can supply extension leads if required. The cat flap should be installed by someone who is competent with a saw (a jigsaw ideally) and, of course, the obligatory screwdriver! 20. If an intruding cat is also microchipped, will it be allowed access? No, only your pets that are microchipped and programmed into the cat flap will be allowed access. 21. Can the Pet Porte allow some of my pets into my home but keep others out? Yes, simply do not program in the animals that you do not want to enter your home; they will then not be recognized by the cat flap and, consequently, they will be locked out. 22. If I have several cats, how many can I program into the Pet Porte unit? You can program the cat flap with up to thirty one pets. 23. How long after programming in one cat can we program in another cat? Once the unit has been programmed with one cat, you can immediately repeat the procedure with another pet. 24. How much time does my pet have to enter once the Pet Porte has recognized it? Because the Pet Porte unit scans constantly for microchips, your pet will be recognized once it moves beneath the porch. The cat flap will then unlock the door and keep it open for four seconds after your pet has left the area beneath the porch. After that time the door will be locked again. 25. Can I control my cats going out through the cat flap as well as controlling them coming in? The Smart Flap has a "night mode" operation that can keep all your cats in during the hours of darkness. You can select to enable or exit this function and the light intensity at which it is enabled can be adjusted. In the near future a selective exit kit will be released. This optional extra enables you to control which of your cats are allowed outside and at what time of day! 26. Can I adjust the time it takes for the cat flap to lock after my cat has entered to try and stop aggressors following my cat in? The time that the lock is open once your cat has been detected is set at a default of 4s. However this can be adjusted to suite your cat and its circumstances. The open time can be adjusted from 1 to 26s. The longer time is ideal for older cats who move slowly and the shorter time is ideal for cats who are being followed in through the flap by an uninvited intruder. What we call "truck and trailer"! 27. Can I lock the cat flap to keep my animals inside so that I can take them to the vet? Yes, just simply press the red paw button for five seconds and the cat flap will lock to prevent any animal from going out. We call this "Vet Mode". 28. Can I disable the night mode to allow my cats to go in and out freely at any time? Yes, this feature is optional and can be turned on or off by simply pressing the red paw button for one second. 29. Can I adjust the level of light it takes for my cat flap to lock and unlock when in night mode? Yes, this operation needs to be carried out in the morning (sorry if it's in the summer!) when the light is enough that you want your cat to go outside. 30. Can I hold the flap open with string? Some people hold their cat flap open with string to allow their cats to move without restriction through the cat flap. If the cat flap is always open then the Pet Porte unit will not be able to offer restricted access to your pets only. However, this is useful to train your cat to use the cat flap. 31. What if the Pet Porte can't recognize my pet's microchip? This could occur for two reasons: the microchip could have migrated beyond the scanning range of the Pet Porte cat flap or the microchip could have failed / is of the wrong type (please see question 3 for checking which types will work). The easiest way in which to check exactly where a microchip is located in your pet, or to check if it is working at all, is to take your pet to your local veterinary surgery where the animal can be scanned with their reader. If the microchip has failed, or is not present, then you can ask your vet to insert a new one. Microchip migration and failure is relatively rare with modern microchips as they are specifically designed to be reliable and are coated with a sticky substance to minimize migration. However, ask your vet for more information on this subject. Before you fit the cat flap to your door, we recommend that you test the cat flap out with your cat to ensure that the unit can read your pet's microchip correctly. When doing this, the easiest method is to hold the cat flap upside down and move the top of the porch over the cats back until the unit reads the microchip. When scanning the cat please do NOT hold the porch itself or touch the wires leading from the porch as this will reduce the read-range of the unit to a point where it may no longer read the microchip. Also, when fitting the cat flap to your door, please note that it is important to position the cat flap as low as possible on the door in order to minimize the distance between the porch and your pet's microchip. 32. Does the Pet Porte have to be fitted to an external door? No, the Pet Porte unit can easily be fitted to a pet crate or an internal door to control access to the area within. This can be very useful in a multiple-pet household where one or two individual animals are on special or prescription foods. This system has many possible uses, creating special enclaves within a home for certain individual animals, be they nursing mothers or just older pets that need some freedom from young whippersnappers! 33. How do I train my cat to use my Pet Porte? All selective entry cat flaps have a locking mechanism that is activated or inactivated depending if the cat attempting to enter is authorized or not. This lock action is likely to make a noise that could "scare" some cats so, to start with we recommend that this is inactivated. In the case of Pet Porte cat flaps there is an audible "beep" that would need to be inactivated as well as the locks. To inactivate the locks you need to set the cat flap in "open mode" and then de-activate the beep ("silent mode") as indicated in the User Guide. Next you need to physically hold the flap open. This is most simply achieved by pushing the flap in, using electrical tape to secure string to it then attaching the string to the door handle. This will keep the flap open and provide the simplest of routes into the house. Unfortunately it will allow every other neighbour-hood cat in to your house but this is no worse than having the flap swing freely. From the cats point of view the action of pushing the flap open may be an issue. This is often the case where a "sensitive" cat has previously attempted to gain access through a flap unsuccessfully. It is difficult to say why but they seem to be keen not to "humiliate" themselves by repeating what was an unsuccessful effort. Once your cat has been through a few times you can start to lengthen the string so the flap is still open but they have to lift it a little as they walk through it. If this is successful lengthen the string further so they have to lift the flap a little further. This will give your cat the sensation of pressure from the flap resting on their neck, back and tail as your cat passes through the opening. The Pet Porte Smart Flap canopy on the outside will help to prevent rain from entering the open aperture! One your cat is at ease with using the cat flap you can stage the introduction of the locking mechanism by turning off open mode (simply repeat the steps to put the Pet Porte Smart Flap in to open mode) and finally the audible beep (again by repeating the process used to de-activate it in the first instance). Another feature of the Pet Porte flaps that encourages cats to use them is their crystal clear transparency. This allows the cats to check the area the other side of the flap before they pass through it. This reassures the cat because it can check to see if there are unfriendly cats the other side of the flap before passing through the door. * * * * * * * * Royal Mail (UK Post) – Although most items arrive in 2-3 days please be aware that our long term mail order experience tells us that Royal Mail post can take up to 3 weeks to arrive in some cases.
