I made pesto.
As time goes on, I believe the whole world is at war, but that physical fighting isn't everywhere at the same time.
Another thing occurred to me too; any country consists of its people and its government. They are not necessarily the same.
living in an apartment need not exclude gardening from ones routine. I've planted hyacinth and frittilaries for next year. and potted up the specimen that I rescued from the trash. it's been recovering over summer and has put on some strong growth.
The last slice of apple pie. The pastry had softened, so a few minutes of heat, and some yogurt, strawberry sauce, and pistachios made this quite a passable dessert.
A batch of winter shots after a night in the fridge. The bits settle so it's important to shake the bottle before pouring a 50ml daily dose.
This is a national dish of Colombia. It has lots of tripe which i adore. My mother brought me up on offal and its hard to find anyone serving it these days. I had this at Tooting Market. And yes it really is that yellow. Colombia has many beautiful exports and their cooking is just one. Mondongo. You want some, don't you?!
I had a friend who added salt just like this. He did it to take the micky out of pretentious TV chefs ("pretentious, moi?!), but he did it so often that it became part of his style.
Despite the apparent repetition each one is a subtle variation on a theme. Knocks and scrapes differentiate each one.
If you ever went to a Punch and Judy show, you will have heard Mr Punch say "That's the way to do it!"
This actually worked. Some more cooling on the rack having just knocked these out.
Obviously, in the name of quality control, I just tested one 😋
Moral of the story is to follow the recipe and use some common sense. And use an oven thermometer!
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and all affected by today's attack at Berlin Pride.
Discrimination and enmity have no part in any civilised society.
Cut an over ripe fig in half and place in a ramekin. Give a tiny drizzle of balsamic vinegar and honey. Microwave for less than a minute. Finish with Greek yogurt or crème fraiche.
Such was dessert last night.
Lady Hawthorn is a kindly matron of the county community. Wears tweeds and pearls, and rides passably well. Don't be put off by her clipped way of speaking, it's almost genetic. She's devoted to her dogs and doing good works to support the migrant community nearby. Lady Hawthorn counts being a good neighbour as a key tenet of life. She detests most politicians but has a soft spot for Rory Stewart who she describes as a 'good egg' (who is no longer a politician).
The name, Hawthorn, is derived from the Anglo-Saxon haguþorn. Thus, Lady Hawthorn considers all those families that arrived with William the Conqueror (such as Beaumont, Beauchamp, and Plantagenet) as parvenus.
Well, if she existed, that's how I would imagine her.
Here is a ladybird taking a rest on a hawthorn flower. Hawthorns are also called fairy trees as they form the gateway between the worlds of humans and spirits. Damaging a single, lone hawthorn is unlucky and bringing hawthorn inside is said to be followed by a death. As the 'May Tree' the hawthorn is sometimes decorated with ribbons, shells, and flowers for Beltane, the old festival marking the beginning of summer and a time to celebrate fertility.
It's steeper than it looks. A handy ginnel between Judges Lodgings and the castle. In old times a judge could hear a case, pass sentence and still be back in time for elevenses without breaking into a trot.
Today's moment of joy was seeing this alnus glutinosa making a framework in the sky.
This tree supports many insects, especially moths.
It was a lovely walk today.
Under the Dewey Decimal system this is the poetry section which was close to my table at The Harris.
I was alone today, but it's a joy to share a poem with someone else.
I fancied something different for breakfast today. How about a tomato juice? Can't be that hard, surely?
Now add a can of good tomatoes. I used some Italian plum tomatoes. Stir and crush them as they soften. Keep cooking for about 10 minutes and see the mixture reduce.
This old photographic shop has closed. Preston or Kendal are the closest places to go for supplies. or take a punt online. The modern way of business I guess.
As a rule I don't do cat pictures and I'm sure the Internet doesn't need any more. However I saw this on the way home and couldn't resist it. Miaow 🐱
