After dinner we had some of this Czech liqueur. Some say it tastes of cinnamon or ginger. I got strong notes of clove. With a secret recipe that's based on more than 20 herbs and spices, I think 'clove' was a safe bet.
It took some savage cropping to get this how I wanted. Dalton Square has a number of these ornate and rather lovely lanterns.
Lit by electricity now.
Farfalle with my basil paste. More cheese, some ground black pepper (in remembrance of the Carbonari).
Roughly minced, so you can still see some basil leaves.
Quick and simple, but full of taste and color.

Having explained why a 'flattie' is meant to be served in a tulip cup, I was presented with this. It's a bit 'short' because the tulip cups in this establishment are bigger than I think they need to be. The latte art is not the company standard, by the way. The drink itself was delicious. I shall go there again.
The gang wishes you all a merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.
Thank you for all your visits, faves and comments.
Tarte is cooling. A bit overdone. First time i baked like this in many years. It's very therapeutic. Hopefully it will be edible!
The light and breeze coming through this grass; the way it swayed and the blades rubbed against eachother making a 'swishing' sound. It was natural poetry just to stand there and experience the moment.
Tēnā koutou Katoa,
Today is International Day of Multilingualism. The 27th March was chosen because 27th March 196 BC is the date mentioned on the multilingual Rosetta Stone (Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, demotic text, and Greek). By comparing the Greek date with the Egyptian text, it was eventually possible to decypher the whole stone.
Language is more than just words; it is the spirit of cultures. Learning new languages helps to communicate, as well as re-wire your brain, which is believed to help ward off cognitive decay.
Heoi anō tāku mō nāianei. Ka kite =]

After the hullabaloo of Halloween, take a moment to reflect on the lives of the saints and martyrs, both ancient and modern. That's the purpose of prayer in front of relics.
I spotted this completely superfluous but delightful wood-carving in the window frame of a disused shop today. There's another one on the other frame for symmetry.
The chrysanthemum used to appear as an exotic symbol of joy and optimism. For some reason I seldom see one these days =]
The bailiffs have been to a local hotel, which is now closed. 14 days to remove their property before it's disposed of.
A nice new lock on the door. I hope the locksmith was paid.
Charles Dickens stayed here once and remarked that with every meal they served "bride cake".
Read the recipe book. Then ignore it and do what you can with what's in the pantry.
180 g plain flour
70 g bran
250 g strong flour
some sugar
some milk powder
1 1/4 tsp yeast
350 g water
When carry out inspections it's important to be methodical. I started with headdress and finished with boots.

No chemical sprays are used in this area thanks to the Duchy's environmental policy.
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!
A new tradition for me. Avocado toast with my Russian-style preserved tomatoes.
I have never liked the term 'brunch'; it has so much cultural baggage for me. But having spent the morning reading and drinking tea in bed, then brunch it is.
Amazing Spanish tomatoes. I won't bother to grow mine again. These are so full of flavor and juicy, too.
Lunch for today is a bit of toasted sourdough bread, drizzled with olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, a grind of pepper, and this lush tomato. 🍅
Flavor, not quantity 👍
I once had a sports car that was described as a 2+2. Fun but useless for any more luggage than a shopping bag
This 2+2 (2 eggs, 2 rashers back bacon) will be useful in providing half my daily protein. Fat kept to a minimum by choosing lean bacon and cooking without fat. Eggs cooked with some milk and canola oil. All in the nuke for just a few minutes at 75% power.
Happy Sunday everyone 👍🙏
