Such a strange beast, sitting on my kitchen counter.
Some say it takes over and has a thuggish flavor profile but if it's treated with care and sensitivity, celeriac can be a true friend.
Here are the lemons today after about 3 weeks. Looking healthy I'm relieved to report.
I've pickled some carrots today because i can.
I used to do things because i felt i ought to. These days i just do what i want to.
Who knew pickling could be so satisfying?
I took a brief rest and was joined by this lovely Red Admiral. We enjoyed a comradely silence for a few minutes before moving on again.
The remains of Arnside Tower. Built around 1340. Tower houses were designed to protect occupants from border raiders, known as reevers.
Art class left me hungry, so I made some lunch when I got home. The broccoli looked a bit tired, but it steamed nicely with some lemon juice and garlic.
A small portion of haddock and chips. Today I was offered tar tare sauce and a wedge of lemon. The youth behind the counter suggested I would enjoy some gravy, too. He was right!
A YouGov survey found that 23% of Northerners regularly pour gravy over their chips, compared to 15% of Midlanders and 9% of Southerners. Greater Manchester is considered the spiritual home of gravy on chips, with 38% of residents indulging.
Afternote: I think, for clarity, that I should say the gravy is for dipping your chips in; not the fish! Also, you dip your chips; you don't pour the gravy over them - that's why you get the gravy on a pot.
I am learning a lot about fish and chips in England. In the North, the default fish is haddock while in the South it's cod. Personally, I prefer skate, but good luck finding any - it tends to go straight to France and Portugal.
Finally, "fish supper" is a Scottish or Irish term. But if you are in a fish and chip shop and ask for one, you tend to get it!
3 o'clock came and I was in need of a coffee. By chance I found myself here, on the Lytham Road in Blackpool. The place is wonderful and quirky, the owner is very friendly and kind, and the coffee was off the scale. If you are in Blackpool and need a decent, unpretentious brew, this is the place to go.
Seen at the entrance to the local organic grocery, this electric delivery bike must surely be the way forward.
My Pixel switches on a ' nightsight ' setting when the ambient light drops. This is the same view as the previous picture but choosing the nightsight setting.
If the phone is on a mount, it will also provide a night sky setting. nice for fireworks, star gazing and satellite counting.
Instead of the main road, you can use a ginnel to get to Williamson Park that retraces the route used by the quarry workers in the 19th century. Unexpectedly I saw the back of the Ashton Memorial.
The Ashton Memorial is, by chance, close to the mathematical center of Great Britain, if you exclude the Isle of Man. To paraphrase a favorite actor, "not a lot of people know that."
The morning sun fills the kitchen and dries the dishes. Sometimes I wish I had a dishwasher. But then I'd miss out on sights like this.
