April 16: Current Project
Current project is baking. It's on-going. Sometimes with a specific plan to try something new and sometimes on whim because I just need some damn cookies. I've been doing it so much lately that I bought myself the best new rubber spatula.
Go to Tatou Hui at the gallery to support Gina and Diana as they present on their experience with continuous improvement. Diana brings Russell along in poster form...

It's the final night of our squash competition. Our team fails to win a prize (but at least we didn't receive the booby prize for last place). My brother plays too and has a much deserved beer afterwards.

I am totally uninterested in anything I have to say....!
Anyways.....Aurora was looking likely tonight so I headed up to Druridge Bay with www.flickr.com/photos/g_star182/ in what can only be described as the worlds worst courtesy car. The pedals were too close together, the brake didn't work, it barely reached 30mph, there was a funny rattling and the headlights only lit 3 feet in front of the car. But we made it! Shame there wasn't anything to see tonight. At least I got some upper body work out in trying to three point turn a car with no power steering...
My new lunch bag arrives just as I kick into my new healthy-eating-packed-lunch regime. Bring couscous today and it is delicious.

Go shopping with Mum at lunch. She is looking for birthday presents for Geoff and I just tag along. Do buy a new mascara though. She gets lunch at the deli but I have to nip back to work for back-to-back meetings.

This is my entry to the Brew Dog #BrewBake contest and it tastes amazing even if I do say so myself!

Recipes
Frozen Ingrid - (Only makes a small amount of Ice Cream, can easily be doubled)
250ml Milk
250ml Double Cream
2 Eggs
65g Caster Sugar
80ml Hello My Name Is Ingrid
Instructions
1. Combine Milk and half the cream in a saucepan and scold.
2. At the same time mix the egg yokes and sugar until pale and creamy.
3. Once milk is heated, pour onto egg mixture and mix.
4. Pour back into saucepan and heat on low heat until thick. Do not boil!
5. Leave to cool.
6. Once cool, add the rest of the double cream and beer to taste.
7. Pour into ice-cream maker if you have one, otherwise just into a tub and stir every hour or so.
This makes a surprisingly tasty ice-cream, possibly my favorite!
'Alice Porter Snaps'
50g Butter
50g Sugar
2 Tbsp Golden Syrup
50g Flour
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
25ml Alice Porter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Melt butter, sugar and golden syrup and cool a little.
3. Add everything else and mix.
4. Pour onto lined baking tray in little blobs.
5. Don't put the too close the really do spread!
6. Cook in oven until golden brown all over. Probably longer that you think!
7. Leave to cool for a couple of minutes and shape as desired.
I think with a bit of tweaking more beer could be used to make the flavour stand out more. Maybe loose the ginger too.
'Alice Porter Caviar':
1g Sodium Alginate
1.5g Sodium Lactate
100ml Low Calcium Water
50ml Alice Porter
Instructions
1. Prepare setting bath: Dissolve Sodium lactate in 50mm of the water. Stir to dissolve entirely.
2. Add the sodium lactate to the other 50ml water and mix with a blender.
3. Add 50ml of Alice Porter to the sodium lactate solution and stir well.
4. Pipette drops of the Alice Porter solution into the setting bath and leave to firm for about a minute.
5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pearls and rince them in fresh tap water.
Use immediately.
Quite fun as they burst in the mouth and you get a hit of Alice Porter :)
I learned my lesson. Took my photo first thing. Here I stop in the middle of Oxford Street on my walk to work, to snap a photo looking east towards Tottenham Court Road. The Christmas balls are still hanging, but sadly they no longer turn the lights on, and at night its rather a sad sight to see them hanging in the darkness.
I'm still suffering from the lack of available light and having to work during the day. I took my camera out at lunch today but was so engrossed in the company (the lovely Shelly Goldstein) I forgot to take any photos. I will either have to get out more at night with my tripod, or commit to taking a bit of a stroll with my camera around at lunchtime.
I'd like to take more portraits this year, I think. Maybe I'll finally find the courage to shoot a portrait of a stranger in the street...
Domenik had a great time at nanny's showing off his new brace. He's smiling here, I wish he'd smile a lot more and be happier when it came to actually sleeping in it!!!

April 28: Delicious
This was lunch. May not be pretty but it was delicious. Sometimes I eat cookies and sometimes I eat colorful stuff. These are the meals I often make when I cook for myself and tell everyone else they’re on their own. (They're pretty much always ok with it. 😂)
Went to see Precious at Plymouth Arts Centre. One of the exhibitions was The Pigs of Today are the Hams of Tomorrow which included a reading room with its very own library cards.
Steak and Shake Inc. purchsed this Giant Foods outlot from Malone and Hyde in early 1977 and opened for business shortly thereafter. It's visible in all it's Steak and Shake glory in the assessor's 1981 lo-rez aerial photo. Ez Pawn took over it appears in 1988 and added on that massive addition at some point. Those windows on the left side might (just maybe!) be original to the structure.

Since this photo was taken these plums have sacrificed themselves for the greater good and ended up in a crumble!
