The water with my coffee was served in this faceted glass. I was shocked - had I been transported back to Russia? These 'granyonyi stakan' first appeared in Russia in the 1940s - tough, practical, almost indestructible - and have been mimiced all over the world. This one was made by Ikea.
The Temperance Society was a big thing back in the day. Some of the motivation for was the common good, but another big bit was making sure people got to and stayed at work, sober. There was a temperance society hotel at the top of Castle Hill - it's now apartments.
or your medicine will become your food.
So said Hippocrates (maybe). I tend to agree.
Enough of lolling around feeling crook - time to make something nourishing; so here it is.
In the slow cooker:
Cooking bacon - choline (brain function, memory) and more
Mushrooms - protect the gut, brain, immune system ...
Red potatoes (sliced) - potassium (heart), B6 (stress), C, fiber ...
Onions - lower cholestorol, antioxidants, C, K, Allicin ...
Tomato pulp - all of the above, eye health, prostate health, heart ...
Apple - all the above, more quercetin (brain health)
Lemon - all above, and help reduce the chance of kidney stones
Brussels sprouts - all the above, and folate (red cell health)
Garlic - joint health, anti viral, anti bacterial, anti inflammatory
Bell pepper - all the above, lutein (eye health), A, C
Salt and pepper - a bit improves taste, improves immune system, metabolism, and heaps more beside
Vegetable stock - vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory, all of the above
Ginger - pain relief, heart health, digestion, insulin regulation ...
I'm putting this on at the low setting overnight. It took longer to write this than do the prep. Hopefully it will taste half decent!
Bread pudding has been made in England since the 11th century. Over time other ingredients have been included, such as milk, eggs. butter, sugar, and fruit.
Here's yesterday's attempt, with wholemeal bread, served with custard. Calories and comfort.
Ich wünsche euch allen einen gemütlichen Abend!
This little gem lifted my spirits while I cooked an ordinary-looking dinner tonight.
So rare is this group that they are not listed on Spotify! Therefore, I encourage you to open Spotify and search for 'Austrian Alpine Folk Music' and prepare to be full of warm and tinkly Gemütlichkeit! Griaß eich =]
Scientifically called Sorbus aria, the oval, serrated-edged leaves are softly hairy underneath and dark green and shiny on top.
When I am not sure which wine to buy, my system is to look for a favorite bird or animal on the label. With a kangaroo on the label, this is guaranteed to be fair dinkum!
With trenches dug and lined with geofabric, rebar cages are added and concrete is placed. The workers use a vibrating poker to assist compaction and the levels are checked.
Being a restricted site, the mixer transfers to a small bucket on a piece of plant, for pouring. I haven't seen it done that way before.
During lockdown I played Skyrim. Being unable to get about as widely as I'd like, I've dusted off my copy of Skyrim and am pursuing some adventures.
Here is my character in assassin's armor and wearing Volsun's mask.
Thank you all for your kind wishes - I am recovering. But getting out to take pictures hasn't really been on the cards today.
This morning I received my new freezer. I don't think my landlord would like me taking a chainsaw to the counter, so I opted for this little freezer instead. At last, I can freeze some of my cooking to be used later. It should cost about GBP 1 per week to run, which is not so bad.
My neighbor returned from Helsinki and brought me a delightful fridge magnet, which decorates the fridge door.
Aston Martin DB9.
Not ideal for golfers; you need to remove your drivers from the bag to get them into the boot.
Pigeons were used as messengers to report the flood state of the River Nile in the time of Rameses II. These lovely birds are just coming to say hello - and maybe scarf a few crumbs from my lunch.
A passerby commented that if I gave them anything they would be my friends for life. And so they are =]
My mother called a couple days ago...my grandmother may be moved to a hospice...she's not taking her meds and is slowly on the decline...
And to make matters worse, my mother and sister drove down to St. Louis to visit, and nearly went to the airport during the storm that produced tornadoes and wind that damaged and closed said airport...had they decided to go there, who knows what might have happened...
I accidentally double chillied this rich soup. Added plain yogurt to quieten things down and grated some pistachios to add contrast and color.
No elephants were harmed in the making of this soup.
And this is how I'm feeling about it now:
I found some pak choi in the crisper, so in it goes (afterbeing cleaned and roughly chopped). Some mushrooms have gone in, too. They were getting a bit slimy, so it was a good idea to use them today.
To all of that I have added some chicken boullion that I made up from a trade pack that had 'expired'. I once ate a meat pie that had been canned in the late 50s, and suffered no ill effects. I am not at all convinced about all the 'use by' and 'use before' dates that an over-cautious food safety lobby bombards us with. A cynic might think they are to encourage sales more than concern for safety.
Of course, when I am cooking for the public, I stick to the rules, but at home I'll take (sensible) risks.
Ash Virgin Women's High Tops.
Nappa leather that is so soft - too bad they are too narrow, and too small, or I would have certainly bought them!
A symbol that I seldom see these days. The CND symbol became known universally as a peace symbol. It's the semaphore letters for N and D (nuclear disarmament) enclosed in a circle.
Invert it and it becomes U D (universal disarmament) or the tree of life. However you look at it, it makes sense.
Now the red (vermillion) ingredients; sweet potatoes, carrots, beetroot, red lentils. To which added jars of tagine sauce, containing dried apricots and sweet paprika.
Covered for 10 minutes before adding stock.
There are many better pictures of crocuses but this one's mine. The rain poured and I tested my Achilles tendons when squatting to take this. Winter will soon be over for another year.
Putting a towel loosely over the escape valve collects the steam and prevents the kitchen becoming damp. Wring the wet towel into the sink. Job done.

This leaflet was in my postbox this week. In future, 2nd class mail will be delivered only on three days each week in order to allow more time to be spent on parcels.
As a letter-writer this does not fill me with much optimism for the future of the letter post. Other countries have already got rid of it.
Email just isn't the same. Perhaps I should go back to short wave and Morse , or semaphore, for the personal touch.
In case you didn't know, Royal Mail is currently owned by a Czech billionaire, not the royal family, or even the people (as it used to be for nearly 500 years).
Now the ambulance station, this former school for the poor was opened 2 years before England's first Education Act that mandated basic education for all children. This school was provided by the anglican church.
Churches have always been associated with education. I was educated by Jesuits and will always be grateful to them even though i hated school.
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.

Here's a facsimile copy of Samuel Johnson's dictionary of 1755. It's a massive tome; for comparison a standard paperback lies on top.
A surreal take on a teapot display seen at the T2 store in Perth, Western Australia. #AlyZenMoonshadow #Androidography #T2 #teapots #surreal
Today is National Coffee Day in England.
Close the lid and pour the coffee into a pre-warmed cup immediately.
I didn't know flamingos could sleep like this. I didn't know they could bend their legs like this. Using the zoom lens on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. No edits.
