From Samuel Johnson's dictionary.

 

Troilus and Cressida makes more sense now.

A light and sound installation in Blackpool. Looking brilliant in the afternoon sun.

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.

Avoiding a meltdown.

 

Which reminds me -- where are my castanets?

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 device was invented by Willis Johnson, an African-American, in 1884. Read more, here:

124 St Vincent Street is one of many grand buildings in Glasgow that have been restored and refurbished, providing commercial premises in the thriving business district.

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!

Given time this tree should grow to be something magnificent.

Gently falling into place, and seemingly the last of its generation.

I added a jar of korma sauce as a quick way to add some mild spicy flavors today. A bit of market research. It went well. I'll dial this up a bit another time.

 

Nobody had keys when I rocked up and cooking started late. The carrots hadn't quite softened but there were no complaints, and no returns.

 

The food processor is still missing so a good chance to practice knife skills.

 

2 kitchen crew didn't turn up but we were finished 30 minutes ahead of usual. Less chat.

Memorial garden outside the local fire brigade. An unexpected gem hidden in plain sight.

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!

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.

5 star kitchen inspection result today. Happy with that. A celebratory cappuccino seems in order 😁

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.

The fine flowers seem to glow in the late afternoon light.

Samaritans have had a branch in Lancaster for 50 years. They provide a free, 24/7 listening service in the hope of reducing the incidence of suicide.

 

Walking slowly has its benefits: you suddenly have time to see things differently.

Rye bread with seeds. First go. Pretty stoked with the result.

 

Rye bread has less gluten than white bread apparently.
