Ready made puff pastry, with a dollop of bramley apple sauce in the middle. Brushed with a little milk and dusted with ground cinnamon. Baked in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
Served with Greek yogurt and flaked almonds.
A simple dessert after a simple salad.
I think more will follow in due course.
Today is Flickr's 21st birthday! Today's theme is *BOLD*
Here is my lava lamp - which is used to bring me a moment of joy, and provide a bit of lighting when I eat dinner.
Did you know that lava lamps are used to generate random numbers? Cloudflare has a whole wall full of them, and cameras are used to get all sorts of measurements which are then used to create the random numbers that keep us all safe online.
The whole process is called 'Lavarand' and you can read about it, here:
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.
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
Looking through the canal bridge, one can see the canal. It's still there but is now silted up. It's not just a case of clearing out the weeds, but that would be a start.
The fruit has remained suspended in the matrix. Encouraging.
Still warm and spread with butter this makes a nice breakfast treat with coffee.
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!😄

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).
Or just to chill for a little while. Vikingur Olafsson playing Bach on piano is an extraordinary experience. For me it has always been Wanda Landowska and Glenn Gould (when he was a bit older); but Olafsson is specially gifted.
Spaghetti Eis. Haven't had this since the 80s, yikes!
Here's my take on the Italian flag: vanilla ice cream pressed through a potato ricer, ground up pistachio, strawberry sauce.

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.
Timing is everything. Just a few minutes later and this bus would have been full of students.
The potholes combined with the hard suspension made this an almost terrifying journey. The first bang made me think we were being shot at. Really.
Damp has caused my Brabantia canisters to go rusty. So off to the bin with them.
I've found this and one other in the thrift shop. Just the thing next time I head off on safari.
A childhood memory is of the bizarre mush that daleks ate. It looked like this.
Homemade basil pesto. Mad color, that's completely natural.
For some reason the yogurt split. Not the usual brand; I think it might have had a thickening agent.

Hest Bank Station closed some years ago. However, there's still a railway crossing and a disused signal box. It is the closest point to the sea along the route of the London to Glasgow West Coast Main Line.
If you look really carefully, you can't see Glasgow Central Station!
The line is powered by overhead cables. The sound made in the cables by approaching trains is quite eerie.
I edited the original shot with 'Sly'. First time I have given this app a go, and it seems easy enough to use.
The dog rose (Rosa canina) is a wild rose that's native to England and other European countries. The flowers' open construction makes them ideal for pollinators and the thorns and scrambling stems are ideal nesting sites for birds.
For some reason, my 'customers' prefer a foreign-sounding name for the food I serve. Maybe it's because I look and sound a bit 'foreign'. Or they are all food snobs. Who can say.
At first, I thought the yoghurt had curdled, but it was just the sweet potatoes that needed another few minutes with the stick blender. However, I had no intention of doing that all over again. I think I'll ask them to get a proper blender for the kitchen.
The big lumps are some broccoli and asparagus. It seemed to go down well.
What you see here cost 52p to produce.
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.
I've been looking at some lovely pictures of butterflies taken in Dorset. Such a lovely county.
Here, it will be a little while yet before I see any lepidoptera gracing the landscape!
Time for lunch, methinks.

an interesting scheme that benefits many.
1 in 4 people in the world don't have access to a loo.
The apparent calm of the undergrowth is disturbed by a clump of 'Lords and Ladies', poised to open.
Arum maculatum has many names. Lords and ladies is possibly from using the roots of this poisonous plant to make the starch to stiffen ruffs and cuffs that were once sported by the nobility.
Comfrey in the afternoon sunshine.
Traditionally called 'knitbone', a poultice of comfrey leaves would be applied to sprains and bruises. Comfrey has deep roots that pull in the soil's nutrients. It's a good idea to fill a watering can with the plant and top up with water. Leave to stand for a week and you will have a fantastic natural fertilizer. Your tomato plants (and anythying else) will thank you for a liberal application. Just be prepared for the smell (awful!). And don't eat it, for the sake of your liver.
and Carry On
BSL uses both hands to sign. ASL (American Sign Language) is signed with only one hand. Very convenient. But it is completely different from BSL.
Esperanto has a sign language, and of course there is ISL (International Sign Language) which is a pidgin version of all the others. It's often used at the UN and other international contexts.
There's a shortage of ISL interpreters, but I think the time for learning it has passed me by now. But you, dear reader ...?!
