I have an Instant Pot but I use this more than that. It makes rice and it doesn't burn it!
The earth is simply cooking from the inside out. This image shows the effect that the steam coming from deep within the Earth has had on the surface as it finally escapes.
Such intense heat, but life still exists right up to the point of escape. Good old Mother Nature, she's got it together...
NEW BRIGHTON LIGHTHOUSE, SITS NEXT TO THE FORT, IT WAS ORIGINALLY, A WOODEN "PERCH", HENCE ITS NAME. A LARGE POST HELD A LIGHT ON TOP AND WAS SUPPORTED BY A SORT OF TRIPOD. IT WAS ERECTED ON THE BLACK ROCK IN 1683 BY THE LIVERPOOL CORPORATION.
WHEN FOREIGN SHIPS, PASSED THE OLD PERCH, THEY WERE CHARGED SIXPENCE FOR ITS RESPECT AND TO KEEP IT IN REPAIR. BUT IT WAS OFTEN WASHED AWAY AND A BOAT HAD TO BE LAUNCHED TO RECOVER IT FROM BOOTLE BAY. IN FEBRUARY 1821, THE PILOT BOAT "LIVER" CRASHED INTO THE PERCH AND CARRIED IT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT IT WAS WASHED AWAY IN MARCH 1824 AND NOT RECOVERED UNTIL THE DECEMBER.
HOWEVER THE COST OF REPLACING IT ALL THE TIME GREW TOO EXPENSIVE AND IT WAS DECIDED TO BUILD A NEW ONE.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE NEW LIGHTHOUSE WAS LAID ON 8TH JUNE 1827 BY THOMAS LITTLEDALE, MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL. IT WAS DESIGNED ON THE LINES OF EDDYSTONE BY MR. FOSTER AND BUILT OF MARBLE ROCK FROM ANGLESEY BY TOMKINSON & COMPANY. IT RISES 90 FEET ABOVE THE ROCKS AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE A MASTERPIECE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. THE GRANITE COST 1/6D A CUBIC FOOT.
EACH PIECE OF STONE IS INTERLOCKED INTO THE NEXT. THE WHOLE STONEWORK, WHEN FINISHED , WAS COATED WITH WHAT IS KNOWN AS "PUZZELLANI" A VOLCANIC SUBSTANCE FROM MOUNT ETNA WHICH, WITH AGE, BECOMES ROCK HARD. THE FIRST 45 FEET IS SOLID. A SPIRAL STAIRCASE LEADS TO WHERE THE KEEPER LIVED AND THEN ON TO THE LANTERN HOUSE. THE REVOLVING LIGHT WAS SAID TO BE THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY. IT COST £27,500 TO CONSTRUCT.
THE LIGHTHOUSE IN USE
WORK WAS ONLY POSSIBLE AT LOW TIDE AND IT WAS NOT COMPLETED UNTIL 1830. ITS FIRST LIGHT SHONE ON THE 1ST MARCH OF THAT YEA AND CONSISTED OF TWO WHITE FLASHES, FOLLOWED BY ONE RED, WITH A RANGE OF 14 MILES. THE LIGHT WAS 77 FEET ABOVE THE HALF-TIDE LEVEL. IT WAS EVENTUALLY ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO THE MAINLAND.
THE LIGHTHOUSE LAST SHONE ITS LIGHT ON 1ST OCTOBER 1973 AS IT WAS NO LONGER NEEDED ON ACCOUNT OF THE RADAR SYSTEM OPERATING IN THE RIVER.
THE LIGHTHOUSE NOW
A LOCAL ARCHITECT PURCHASED THE LIGHTHOUSE FOR £100 ON CONDITION HE MAINTAINED THE CONSTRUCTION, HE TRIED TO RESTORE THE LANTERN AGAIN BUT THE RIVER AUTHORITIES THOUGHT IT MIGHT CAUSE CONFUSION TO LOCAL SHIPPING. SO HE REFURBISHED IT SO THAT ANYONE COULD STAY THERE FOR A SHORT HOLIDAY. INDEED, IT WAS THEIR IDEA TO ATTRACT NEWLY MARRIED COUPLES TO SPEND PART OF THEIR HONEYMOON THERE AT A COST OF £50 A DAY, WITH CHAMPAGNE AND FLOWERS THROWN IN.
WITH ELECTRICITY BEING INTRODUCED, THE OLD LIGHTHOUSE HAS A GALLEY WITH COOKER AND REFRIDGERATOR AND, ON THE FIRST FLOOR, A BATHROOM WITH SHOWER. THERE IS A LIVING ROOM AND A BEDROOM ON THE NEXT TWO FLOORS. THE LIGHTHOUSE EVEN HAS A TELEVISION, JUST IN CASE ONE GETS BORED WITH LOOKING AT THE SEA. A LADDER HAS TO BE OBTAINED FROM THE FORT TO GAIN THE NECESSARY HEIGHT TO REACH THE 15 IRON RUNGS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE AS THE DOOR IS 25 FEET FROM THE BASE.
Thought For Food: Leveraging 3 Of The Few Cooking Devices I Use - IMRAN®
Microwave Oven. Air Fryer. Slow Cooker. Rice Cooker. Toaster Oven. Barbecue Grill. I use one or two of these on the rare occasion I “cook” something. This time I put three to use in parallel.
Philips Air Fryer, Chicken Parmesan. Toshiba Rice Cooker, pasta. Panasonic Microwave heated pasta sauce. Around 15-20 minutes total with maybe 3-5 minutes total prep time. Anything reaching 10 minutes of prep or cleanup time is not for me!

A few more shots from Lacock Abbey. Yet another handy "modern" appliance in the kitchens of the Big House!
An accident in Plumstead High Street, near Plumstead station. This was a firm dealing in scrapping old cookers. There seemed to be a few mishaps with the lorries. There was another along the road a few months earlier.

Travelogue from Badrinath here.
We have arrived at Khu Sx Bánh Kẹo Dừa near Vinh Long to see how rice paper, rice wine, and traditional candy are made.
First up is making rice paper. A couple of finished ones hang from the bamboo drying table.
The pot on the stove is where the rice paper is cooked.
Fuel to heat the cooker is from the rice husks and can be seen on the left side of the heating unit.
Twice a year we go through this rigmarole. My cooker clock is easy to set … and after twenty years I can remember how to do it. But I needed a mini tripod to take the photo.

I can't cook rice consistently. sometimes it's great, and last week I burned it. I get distracted.
I found this mini rice cooker, used, online. It's smaller than my kettle; just the thing for 2 portions, ready in 30 minutes.

The Ricoh Half take the left picture at first, but occidental use to read from left to right and I really find funny that it change the "sens" of the picture. It seems that I've been surprise while I've been taking the second picture, but in fact that woman was surprise of that strange thing that I hold in my hand name is Ricoh Auto Half at first. That cheapy camera give anothers dimension to photography. Love that feeling :)
