It's Friday, so that means making soup for a crowd again.
Having made the base and added chopped mushrooms, it's made a bit more attractive by a minute or two with an immersion blender.
My brief is to make food with supermarket ingredients. Today I made soup with canned chicken, sweet corn, and mushrooms.
This serving works out to be 95p including fuel, for 40 serves.
Spring onions (on special) added some color.
Added a cornflour slurry to thicken. Potato would do the same job.
White onions and garlic to frame the flavors.
Makes a change from all veggies and was received well.

Another benchmark. On St Mary's Gate this time. I can't find any record to state they were cut on anything other than vertical structures.

One of the best things about part time work is the lack of pressure.
I was feeling a bit out of shape this morning (yes, 'round' is a shape, but I'm not talking about that). But my shirt cheered me up no end with its cheerful label =]
Mind your timing when cooking the crumpets and watch to keep a medium heat, or they will burn. Fortunately for me, this is how I prefer them.
I looked up to see the lovely clear sky, and noticed this mast, bedecked with folded and directional dipoles, microwave dish, etc and wondered why I had zero phone signal.
Like the mountain, K2, when you look at the queue for Wimbledon tennis snaking down the street and covering Wimbledon Park, it must seem like an impossible dream to get to the end.
Today's lunch was a medley of beans - cannelini, borlotti, haricots, black, green lentils, chick peas. And a good quantity of tomato - crushed, puree, whatever I could find.
Soften some onions, add garlic, lots of paprika, salt and pepper. Bring up to a simmer for a while and allow to reduce. Add a heap of grated mozzarella and sharp cheddar; stir well.
Taste ... a bit flat. So a couple of dollops of sriracha to lift but not over-power.
Job done for less than a pound per person.
Here is my first loaf baked with Bulgarian white flour. It looks ok to my eyes but the taste is outstanding. I'll buy this flour again.

In a corner of the library is a tea and cake stand, run by volunteers from the Firiends of Lancaster Library. After a morning at work, a slice of coffee and walnut cake with a nice cup of coffee was what I needed. Looking up at the ceiling, I noticed these words. I thought they were rather fun.
This is a mounting block on the side of a house in Garstang. Note the variety of sizes, to accommodate riders and horses of different sizes: small, medium, and large.
Small, medium, and large sizes in clothes first came about during the American Civil Ware, when uniform manufacturers found it easier to produce uniforms in only three sizes, and have regimental tailors do the adjustments once the uniform had been issued. Junior ranks were expected to do their own sewing for simple things.
Mix everything together, make a log and bake it for about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and cut on the bias into 10 mm pieces. Return to the oven and back for another 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack.
There are many opnions about how long to leave them to cool before putting into an airtight container. I'm going with 12 hours, so that they stay crisp and dunkable.
I think I've realized why I am so fascinated by this building. It reminds me of the Arkitex building set I loved to play with when I was a boy.
An orrery is a mechanical device that demonstrates the relative positions of planets, and how their orbits work. The workmanship is as complex as it is breathtaking.
This one was by John Fulton, who left school at 13 to become a cobbler. His story is fascinating and inspiring. I encourage you to follow the wiki link below.
