thick, creamy celery soup of celery, parsnip, potato, onion and fresh coriander
plenty of vegetables were used in this recipe. that's why i cooked in two saucepans. the cooked contents of both saucepans were decanted into the large preserving pan, mixed together and ladled into the boxes to freeze. much of what i buy is from the markets. yesterday at whitechapel market a bowl of 3 bunches of coriander was £1
celery and parsnip cooked in a large saucepan, then blended
potato and onion cooked in a large saucepan, then blended
both pans of vegetables including the cooking water decanted into large preserving pan
a chopped bunch of fresh coriander added
(season during this stage or season just before being plated to eat)
stirred to mix all the ingredients
finally celery soup ladled into the boxes ready for the freezer, to be eaten as and when
i add milk and/or extra virgin olive oil either in the preliminary cooking (not this time) or later when each portion is reheated ready to eat, just to keep upping the flavour :)
when reheating i add more cooked potato and blend. this restores the creamy consistency of the soup which can be lost once frozen
all cooking was done on the hob on a low heat, 2 and less, from beginning to end.
i'd heard an energy saving tip from a bbc radio 2 listener who had phoned in to a programme on rising energy costs. he had noticed it was cheaper if he cooked on the hob throughout on low rather than medium or high, making sure the lid is on the pan, apart from the occasional stir.
now i've a smart meter installed www.britishgas.co.uk/smart-home/smart-meters.html monitoring energy use i thought i'd give it a go and found it to be a good tip.
(i suppose it's a bit like driving a car: driving fast burns up the fuel, driving slow lessens fuel consumption but we reach the destination)
if i have the hob on high, the smart meter dial shoots up to the orange/red and stays there - expensive - but on low the dial remains in the green - low cost - only occasionally for a few seconds each time, going to the orange/red
it does mean i have to plan ahead to give myself time to cook in this way but i'm managing and enjoying the challenge :)
ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily
www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ helps to gather ideas and encourages me 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 ...
Reprise of a shot that I did a couple of weeks ago. Another view of the same staircase, this time with my 12mm prime wide-angle lens, and twice as much me's tha last time. I like this version more than the previous one.
HSS!

Near the east portal of the Moffat Tunnel, a 6.2-mile long tunnel through the Continental Divide to the west portal at Winter Park Resort. These summer days are glorious, although summer has not reached those peaks yet!

Thanks to F & M, it was a great week!
And apologies for posting a artsy-fartsy collage, but I've been walking around with this idea for ages now.... and I kind of like it!
Scunthorpe Bus Station, Monday 9th October 1978. The bus is, of course, one of the Gardner-engined Bristol FLFs new to Bristol Omnibus Co., which spent most of their lives with West Riding Autos as replacements for that operator's avant-gardé Guy Wulfrunians. At the time of the photo the newer of them had recently passed to Lincolnshire Road Car Co. In the case of this, the former Bristol no. C7290, the company had not yet had the opportunity of applying a coat of leaf-green paint, or its own fleet number. Was it perhaps a loan rather than a full transfer? Alongside, another example of bus company home-made bodywork applied to an AEC Matador towing wagon.
I like being able to get two species of anything within one photo. Here is a Spotted Deer , aka Axis or Chita; deer. (people in Texas will know these) and a Sambar deer.

Just 15 days ago (21/12/25) I photographed this market umbrella at the opening of The Village Green in our local shopping centre,
Then Crazy Tuesday annouced the theme for 6th January - two colours, so I had to go and take some more pics. This time I also used a circular polarizer filter.

This belted kingfisher came up with two fishes with one dive. He cleverly managed to swallow the nearest fish while holding the second in the tip of its beak.
