I've just put the ingredients for this week's 'house sauce' in the slow cooker. I have a feeling it will be a cure for almost anything; there are the usual suspects (soffritto) as well as olives, tomatoes, 3 kinds of peppers, and a small marrow. A friend gave me a bag of aglione spice mix so I added some of that, too. Covered with a glass of red wine and stock.
I'm looking forward to how the kitchen will smell in the morning.
Like a ring of broken teeth the remains of an ancient oak protect it's progeny. Possibly grown from an acorn that fell into the still standing trunk of it's parent.
Using a reliable estimating tool from the Woodland Trust i would say this is about the same age as me. Which is to say not quite ancient or old enough for a bus pass but getting there 😁
A pretty little Daisy on my walk yesterday. This is a 1.7X zoom from the main sensor on the X90 Pro.
Reminds me of Yerevan in the fog. I've been helping to paint a room in grey. The under coat was dodgy and the surface so porous. Breaking for tea i spotted this. I rather like the effect. Too bad it will disappear as it dries.
I adore brutalist architecture.
I bought another slow cooker yesterday for the cost of a flat white. This one is only 1 liter and so neat.
I made a sauce/soup overnight:
Onion
Celery
Garlic
Dried herbs
Carrot
Blackeyed beans
Red capsicum
Tomato puree
Bacon
Veggie stock
Cook on low for 6 hours

The Dutch East India Company imported this plant to the Netherlands in the 17th century.
They are pretty, but can be thugs in your herbaceous border - keep those rhizomes under control!
"New Zealand's most modern brewery" it says on the side; apologies, I don't know yet how to selectively highlight that bit.
This was built in 1935 and operated as a brewery until 1955, when it was bought by the New Zealand Musicians' Club.
As a brewery it was operated by the Coutts family, who came from Germany originally. During WW1, the Kuhtze family changed their name to Coutts, having already naturalized. The family's know-how later became a cornerstone of later NZ brewing, by big forms such as DB.
The marketing slogan for Cascade Brewery was "Putting the Happy in Taihape".
Smoke results from the incomplete combustion of fuel.
I looked out of the window a year ago and saw this - the abandoned recycling center (in a former power station) had caught fire, and continued to burn for more than two weeks.
The council had to spend about GBP 2 million on putting it out, which included partial demolition of the building so that the fire brigade could access the fire itself.
For some reason, I completely forgot to post this picture until now.
Changing lane with a horse van isn't easy but this confident Roma seems to have it under control.
Note the gilded woodwork and wheels. Highly skilled work done by very few artisans now.
Shot into sun, hence lots of editing to restore details.
People keep bringing me fruit! Today is another kind of apple and bramble tart. I've added a kiwifruit for a bit of contrast. The pastry was a disaster today and I don't quite know why.
