This week's soup from assorted stuff on sale and lurking in my cupboard.
Wash but no peeling: fiber and nutrients abound.
The pickled garlic remained firm despite pickling. It sliced as finely as you might want.
Letting the brine cool a bit seems to have avoided any cloves going blue or green.
My new dehumidifier. Expensive prior training from ages ago enabled me to work out that this uses maximum 60 watts (like an old fashioned lightbulb) only. Less damp in my kitchen with luck.
This one from a thrift shop. As much as €125 and £50 from shops nearby.
It even works 😅
Breakfast coffee and my Herdy mug. I adore Herdwick sheep for their hardiness and sense of mischief.
It's 'Light up Lancaster' again; an annual festival where light installations are displayed and often projected onto buildings.

Lunch today. I changed the mustard that i usually use when i make mayo. It was transformed.
4 basil leaves from my kitchen plant made a nice highlight taste.
A cloudy day snap from the "poorest premium phone camera" I reviewed of last year. When even the weakest cameras on our phones can turn out shots like this, I think we're in pretty good shape for mobile photography.
Once cooked, you can toast the crumpets. Or allow to cool on a rack to eat later. They will freeze well, too.
Craving a fish cake for tea, I decided to make my own. This was inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe that uses canned goods and leftovers. I'll add the recipe later.
Cooked in the air fryer, there's less fat than if fried.
The Kenneth and Avon Canal runs in the south of England between Bristol and Reading.
IDK how long it would take to get here, but it's at least 260 miles away. That's about 2 weeks of steady cruising just to get this far.
You need to run the engine for about 6 hours per day to power the batteries for the fridge and lights and other electrical items.
Many boats have small log burners for heating, which are essential during colder months.

A childhood memory is of the bizarre mush that daleks ate. It looked like this.
Homemade basil pesto. Mad color, that's completely natural.
I went a bit retro today and added a wired mouse to my system. It's a lot bigger than the Apple and other bluetooth mice I already have and it fits my hand better. I thought the wire would be irritating but other than the aesthetics, it works very well.
For Christmas I decided to make some biscotti for a gift. In the process I discovered the difference between cantuccini and biscotti, and found a dozen recipes that were all similar, but with different twists. I went with Gordon Ramsay's because it seemed to be easy and achievable.
Omitted here is the mixing spoon, and there's an extra ramekin of mixed nuts - it's not meant to be there; it was my afternoon snack!
It was strangely very hard to find an Advent calendar. By chance I found this at Oxfam. The chocolate is very nice and fairly produced.
The colors complement those of my disco light 😁🎄
I often wonder how public libraries will survive in the age of the Internet. John and Cuthbert Grundy, local artists, provided some funding to build this, along with Blackpool council and steel magnate, Edward Carnegie.
What to do with a surfeit of nuts? I roasted these in a mixture of melted butter, honey, and a bit of cinnamon. Spread to cool on parchment, and given a few twists of sea salt Just 7 minutes in the air fryer to transform the good to something better!
I've had an order for another jar. I'll add sesame seeds this time at the cooling stage.
Up in the tree safely away from humans and cats is this bat box.
With declining insect populations bats are having a hard time. Local volunteers do what they can to help.
The stew decanted into a bail jar, for storage in the fridge when it cools down a bit.
This should give 5 servings (with some crusty bread, for example). A glass of wine, of course!
"The arts are essential to any complete national life. The State owes it to itself to sustain and encourage them."
Winston Churchill, speaking about the Royal Academy
While not his greatest fan, he spoke sense in this instance.
The coat of arms of Russia. The two headed eagle was first used in the 15th century and colored black.
The sun sets over the old power station. It looks like a fortress on some lights. Noisy shot, but i liked how it looked.
2kg of fresh plums have rendered this many jars of jam which is now cooling on my counter.
This is the first time I have made jam and time will tell whether it is any good.
Apprarently I needed to get this to 105DegC for the sugar to change structure, and set properly. Try as I might, my stove wouldn't deliver enough to go over 102degC. We shall see in a few hours if it worked. Or not!
A reminder to ourselves to slow down, stop rushing around madly, take your time to just sit somewhere quiet and contemplate. #Alyzenmoonshadow #androidography
I'm normally gentle with my kitchen tools but I have fruit to use up. Packed in to the max line.
Apple
Orange
Nectarines
Almonds
Walnuts
Cinnamon
Water
Afternoon tea with my new tea cosy. So hard to find now that few use a teapot and loose tea.
to keep me going till dinner is a Chorley cake. This is filled with raisins and baked in short crust pastry. Sometimes called fly cake for obvious reasons. Nice with a bit of butter and Lancashire cheese on the side.
Tea is lapsang with a bit of Ukrainian honey.
it's reet good!😄
The pattern of the tiles is picked up in the anaglypta on the staircase. Wonderful attention to detail.
Maybe. I'll find out at breakfast time.
Morrison's own strong white flour. Everything else as usual.
There I was looking for 305.8994. This library appears to use the Bliss classification system (BC2); anything but blissful if one is more used to Dewey Decimal. Now, which way is it to KVT?
If you are interested in different kinds of library classification schemes, just G--gle it and be ready for a deep dive into the rabbit hole =]
I see where I want to go but it's not always obvious how to get there. Time for a flanking manoeuvre perhaps.
Sold in pairs, I wonder where the other one is.
Art nouveau or Jugendstihl, I love this style. There's not enough of it about!
Tea's up. Served with some salad - I love summer salads - and a sprinkling of fried onions for some crunch.
