Some people make models to pass the time. I'm trying to restore my friend's kitchen knives. They are blunter than bricks 😅
There's nothing quite like boiled eggs and 'soldiers' made from toast. But let's face it, smashing-in the top of the egg to gain access using a spoon is brutal, messy, and uncivilized.
But lo! I have just managed to find a nifty device from Germany: an eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. There are several types, this being a precisely calibrated spring-loaded affair that cracks and removes the shell with the bare minimum of collateral destruction.
A device of which even the fastidious Hercule Poirot would approve!
Depression comes and goes. There are many ways to address it. For me I have to get busy and do something new.
Today I made Russian kotleta following a friend's inspiring description. A recipe book had something I could easily attempt.
I even set the table with a clean cloth and put my Tsingtao beer into a glass I keep for best.
You can also see some calligraphy here that I framed this afternoon. It's "shi" or 'double happy' which is how I'm beginning to feel again.
Chips are kumara and white potato. The mushrooms cooked in homemade yogurt.
If you want the recipe send me a Flickr mail.
If you want to talk about anything to do with mental health message me. I have a bit of experience.
Have a wonderful day/evening. Kia kaha 🌿
No, I'm not having a bake sale! My kitchen is a bit chilly at the moment and the dough wasn't as active as usual. The result is this compact bread brick.
It smells wonderful in the toaster and tastes good too. But just one slice will do the work of two. I may have hit on something here.
Watch out for Clive's special "Expedition Loaf" coming to a bakery near you, maybe 😅
Smoked mackerel, kumara (sweet potato) chips, and peas. A bit of tomato sauce and mayo for interest.
There's a recent trend to break the windows on this building. I thought I'd take a picture of this pretty window while it lasts.
This morning demanded a steamy cappuccino - 80s style. But I don't have any suitable cups, so here it is in a glass.
Yes, it doesn't look like the proportions are right, but they are close enough for government work, as we used to say.
And it's my kitchen ... =]
Having been out all day I return to find a) some fool has left the lights on and b) the daffodils have come out - how lovely!
This part of the canal is teeming with tadpoles. The weeds, while not ideal for canal boats, are home to many creatures.
The Worm Moon is so-called because now the ground has thawed, the earthworms will emerge - look for worm casts on the soil.
It's also called the Lenten Moon (because it's Lent!). It comes from the old German word 'Lenzin' which means spring.
I took this with my Pixel - I quite like the artefacts and flare.
A gentle rain outside. I love how it affects the morning light in my kitchen.
Time for coffee and a sit down for a moment.
Not charred, just very well done!
This is my first cauliflower cheese. I cooked it in an air fryer.
It was fun making the cheese sauce - I used Red Leicester and some old Cheddar, some scallions, Ras El Hanout spices, and English mustard powder. And it's still quite satisfying making a roux that doesn't split.
This is half a medium cauliflower, and I reckon it would be enough for three people, with some salad on the side.
I've topped it with Japanese seaweed, for that umami taste.
Drinking coffee in the pouring rain having decided not to stay in a packed concert room. To be fair there was an umbrella. It was so peaceful here, too.
When i asked the barista what blend she was using, she replied that she did not know. She just opened the bag and filled the grinder. I salute her honesty.
After cooking a batch of pasta sauce overnight, it's quickly cooled before being stored in the fridge.
More play with shooting images in raw, and editing (over-editing!). I like the effects on the pylons on the Millennium Bridge, and realize I should have extended this to the rest of the picture.
The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.
Outside the Priory is a fence; surprisingly, quite a lot of it is falling to pieces. However, some ladybirds have found a home in the layers of rust.
Elmer the Patchwork Elephant was inspired by the mascot for Bordeaux Zoo.
As an introduction to diversity it's a great set of books. Read more here:
These tomato plants will eventually form the base of my autumn pesto,Pesto del lunatico. So named after the local river, not my state of mind 😁
Stepping out this morning to go to work, I almost stepped on my neighbor while he was eating breakfast. I avoided him, and for my pains I just got 'the look'!
Found this Bodum pour over today for less than the price of a coffee. Happy with that. Makes a decent smooth brew, too. The cafetiere will get a rest for a while.
Drink immediately if you have a cold kitchen like mine.The Habitat cup only comes out for this season.
