Gelato fico e mascarpone.
This was to die for. An almost overwhelming burst of flavor of figs combined with the richness of mascarpone.
From Mio Gelato in Morecambe. They make everything of the premises from premium ingredients. Not since i was in Italy have i had such a good gelato.
Stewed apples and custard.
Standing to cook yesterday was almost beyond me. Yoga without paying attention to old injuries can be dangerous.
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.

Emerging from the depths of a hollow, rotting tree. Beetles and bacteria turn this massive oak into a fine brown dust. Amazing and beautiful.
Now worn away, this was originally inscribed on this 'Plague Stone'. Lepers, and those infected by plague would come to this place to buy food, placing the coins in the hollow at the top which was filled with disinfecting vinegar.
The fella just out of shot asked me where the plaque was that told the history of the bridge, www.flickr.com/gp/199497344@N03/wSuGJHuR89,
so I showed him as I was walking that way, anyway.
These flowers just go on and give joy each time I see them.
I have met some people like that along the way.
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.
One of my favorite shots from this July 4th fireworks show. Shot on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, main camera, f/4, ISO 50, 4 second exposure.
The Royal Navy Army Air Force Institutes provide an important service to active service people, veterans, and service families.
There are now a number of cafés in towns for anyone to use. Profits go towards the welfare fund.
This was a good mug of tea today.
Preston town hall. Side door. I'm not convinced that these signs will encourage people to engage with the democratic process. There's also a sign pointing to the information desk inside. Clearly, messaging is not clear!
This used to be a toy shop. In Lancaster are many old shop signs to be seen. You just have to look up.
This is currently a Chinese restaurant that is frequented by the Chinese community. My guess is that it must be good!
You can see the skeleton of Napoleon's horse, Marengo, at the National Army Museum in Chelsea.
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.

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.
I'm super happy to have saved this from the recycling bin. It's 11 years old and not supported now. However a swift install of Ubuntu (20 minutes) and its good to go. No more editing on my phone at last.
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!
