Dinosaur was coined by Lancastrian paleontologist, Richard Owen. Owen was the first superintendent of the Natural History museum when it opened in 1883.
Someone kindly observed that my potato dish ( flic.kr/p/2qUY3kS ) was like dauphinoise potato but without the cream. And so, 'fauxphinoise potato' is born!
WEll, here's a portion that I re-heated with some smoked bacon and sliced tomato. The brown splodge is A1 Sauce.
Brown sauce is very popular in northern England and Scotland. It is only marketing that has made HP Sauce the market leader (invented in 1899 in Nottingham) whereas the infinitely more palatable A1 Sauce was invented in 1824 by William Brand, chef to King George IV (who knew his food!).
HP Sauce gets its distinctive tang from tamarind paste; A1 sauce has orange puree, among other things. I was lucky enough to procure a bottle yesterday. Huzzah!
My fave barista is off sick so I am wandering around looking for an acceptable alternative coffee. I like how this place doesn't even try to do latte art. Tastes good. too.
Today's lunch was a soup of butternut squash, sweet potato, tomato, and garlic. I finished it with some grated cheese and basil leaves and black pepper.
We have been blanketed by gloomy nimbostratus clouds for days, and I needed some warmth, color and comfort today!
This is a relatively modern rotary egg beater. This one was bought in 1962 by a lovely lady who gave it to me today - she is downsizing her kitchen and thought I might like it. Truth is, I have been looking for one for ages!

This iron staple, or joggle, secures the plinth on which a stone bench stands. It dates to 1863, the time of the Lancashire Cotton Famine. While the mills stood idle people were set to work on a variety of tasks, such as road building, making a park, and building these stone benches.
Revisiting memories can refresh them. Maybe recall something that you missed before.
Embellishments? They're your memories, after all!
Cooling the stew in a cold water bath before putting in the fridge.
It's important to cool and refrigerate food within two hours after cooking in order to prevent harmful bacteria growing.
The petals are optional - they do nothing at all, but if I were selling this, I think I could add 10 quid to the asking price =]
The exterior of the music room. All that remains of a house built in 1730 for a wealthy lawyer. Now a coffee shop and hotel room upstairs. Its parlous and fragile condition restored by The Landmark Trust.
The quiet square is more like something in Croatia or Italy i think. But minus the sun!
Anna Pavlova

Life size.
Anna Pavlova toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s.
A meringue dessert was invented in her honor. But was it by a Kiwi or an Aussie? The discussion goes on. No Christmas is complete without a Pav!
After a good bit of walking I needed a sit down and refreshment. At 'The Milking Parlour' in the charmingly-named Jingling Lane, I got everything I needed. And that included this delicious, refreshing and delicate elderflower sorbet. All the ices sold here are made in a nearby farm. Buy local, as the slogan goes.
