Homemade scones, made yesterday, and Bramble Jam, made last week .... I have to be honest and say that I didn't make either of them, but I will probably eat most!!

A COVID-19 shot...
My wife got cabin fever due to the lockdown and we found that we still had some yeast in the house (which is currently in short supply in Bavaria for some reason) - and here's the result.
(Also a good excuse to place that Laguiole knife into a photo 😁)
About Genuine "Laguiole":
(or: why your product should not be named after a place):
There's probably a gazillion different makers/distributors/sellers of "Laguiole" knives (in France alone there's allegedly over 130 of them), but most of the knives - the cheap stuff - are most likely from somewhere in Asia...
The problem here is that "Laguiole" as a single word is neither a brand nor a single knifemaker, it is just the name of a 1,200-people village in France, and therefore cannot be protected as a quality mark.
As a rule of thumb, only "Laguioles" with the "Laguiole Origine Garantie" as issued by the "Association de Défense du Laguiole Origine Garantie" in the town hall of the village Laguiole are genuine, hand-made knives from the region.
You may find the wording "Laguiole Origine Garantie" written somewhere on the blade and/or the respective logo "G within O within L" or "L within O" is applied to the knife - and that is a protected logo / wording.
Lauguiole en Aubrac also has the bull head as protected logo.
Some "genuine Laguiole" makers:
Coutellerie du Barry
Fontenille Pataud
Forge de Laguiole
Honoré Durand
Laguiole en Aubrac

I FINALLY came up with an idea to use the old pan lids that we seem to have accrued here. Actually, many of them came in boxes of "junk" from the auctions. It struck me last weekend that they could go into the old fruit and veggie holders that everybody used to have, that hang. Some of the pan lids JUST fit! Now if only the birds will discover this!
I DID test to be sure the rims weren't hot, in case they might burn birdie feet in the heat. They seem okay for now, at our 81F degrees and full sun. I do have a plan to paint the edges in case hotter temps change that! :)
While walking along a local river we came across a tree that had been gnawed on by beavers. Those shavings reminded me of feathers so we collected a small bag-full and used them to create bird sculptures. My grand kids used a glue gun to layer the wood chips over a large paper egg (used as a body form). Eyes were made of either a couple of beads or small clam shells from the river shore.
I saw this bench made out of old tractor parts, old barn wood, and old horseshoes. It's pretty awesome.
I made this from wool I bought at the Easter Show last year. I only bought one skein (cheapskate) and so had to go looking for more. I found it a specialty wool shop in the Rocks. It's alpaca.
I have a sweet tooth. For breakfast I like coffee and cookies. It's not the healthiest way to start my day but it sure is yummy!
Nice to click you - Hecho a mano
Pastís d'avellana
Seasons-My Diary 6/52 Homemade
El pastel de avellanas es el que tiene más éxito en mi casa! Normalmente lo hago solo como bizcocho, pero esta vez le he puesto chocolate blanco y fruta por encima.
A hand-tied fishing fly. I forgot to ask my husband what it’s called. If I find out, I’ll add the name later.
a tumbling mess of strings of homemade pasta
it was my first attempt at rolling the pasta using a pasta rolling machine flic.kr/p/2qyWLMW it would have been quicker and better to have rolled the pasta by hand! i gummed up the rollers many times, cleaned up, started again, gummed up, cleaned up and started again, again and again. i was determined to have something to show for my efforts :)
the ragged strings of pasta are hanging over the rim of the deep pan to dry. later the pasta was cooked, covered with pomodoro sauce and eaten with salad. it tasted fine flic.kr/p/2r7AhoV
i'll have another go later in the week

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
Nearly didn’t manage a photo today, as we've had no electricity for 5 hours. Luckily, came back on about half way through the setting things up. I use a tv screen, direct-connected to the camera, so I can position everything without having to constantly jump up and down and check the camera screen. Also lucky the Eccles cakes were baked yesterday as the oven's electric!
Panettone is an Italian Sweet Bread. I decided to make some and will make another loaf with modifications. This tasted good.
