It's ok to love yourself but not too much.
This sign made me laugh.
People laughing in the street for no apparent reason sometimes attract attention.
My French cousins will not approve but here's something i knocked up this morning. No glaze but a little coulis for color. Frangipane is new to me so it looks a bit grainy.
It went well with my afternoon tea and helped soothe my recovering migraine 😁
I had some fruit leftover. This is simply stewed apple, sultanas and berries with the juice from an orange. Cinnamon sugar over the top and then into the oven for 30 minutes, covered.
It's got some frangipani in there too, over run from some tarts i baked at the same time. Thickens the liquid a bit.
I have no idea if that's a real 'thing' but it sounded good =]
So, taking that heap of leaves that I had pruned from my tomato plants, what to do? Throw on the compost heap? I don't have one. Instead, it's time to make pesto in my little-used food processor. 'Pesto' doesn't just mean smashed-up basil; if it's not a poisonous leaf and it tastes nice, turn it into pesto!
Equipment:
Food processor
Spatula (for wiping down the sides, and to assist with decanting)
Sterilised jam jar
Jam funnel, if you've got one (get one! They are really useful for all sorts of jobs, such as filling your cafetiere!)
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, peeled (I like garlic - you might prefer to use just one clove, especially if going out!)
1 lemon; juiced (you can add the zest, too if you like)
1 tspn sea salt - rougher the better, I find - it helps to break down fibers (you could reduce this to 1/2 tspn, but don't omit it)
1/2 cup oil - I used canola, but olive oil is fine (but don't use anything with strong flavor)
1/2 cup cheese - you can waste time grating it; I just roughly cut into small cubes (I used an old and hard lump of sharp cheddar)
1/4 cup nuts - I used almonds, because I have them on the shelf. Use anything you like.
1 mixing bowl full of tomato leaves - I used the side-leaves and left the big ones alone; the bigger leaves lack flavor and are just bitter
Method:
In a food-processor
Add the garlic and salt; chop until a paste starts to form
Add the cheese; chop until cheese is incorporated
Add lemon juice; pulse once or twice
Add the nuts; pulse for a few times to get nicely chopped
Add the leaves: pulse a few times; not a lot seems to happen until
Drizzle in the oil while chopping
Continue chopping until you get to the consistency you like
Immediately decant the fresh pesto into a sterile jar - I used an old marmalade jar, which was just the right size
Store in the fridge for up to a week (longer, if you're me)
Add oil to cover the surface in the jar before replacing the lid - it helps to reduce exposure to air and oxidation.
Use it with pasta, as a dip for (sweet) potatoes, on salad, in a sandwich. whatever takes your fancy.

Afternote: I mixed it into fresh pasta tonight, and it was 'banging'! Served with a mixed salad and balsamic dressing. Nice =]
For those who didn't fancy eggs i made level and potato soup with a yogurt garnish. Simple and satisfying.
The Herbarium is an indy café bar restaurant in Lancaster. It has deep connexions to cultural life including poetry night once a month. Oh, it's vegan, too 👍🌿
If you have some spare time why not hook up with a local charity to help out? I cook but you could work in an opp shop or drive a delivery truck or answer a phone or a million other things.
Time is our greatest gift.
Improbable, yes. But National Carrot Day was celebrated in England on 3 October. It coincided with National Poetry Day, so I wrote a limerick to celebrate both. However, I will spare you that forgettable moment.
As I had some French beans, I thought they would make a nice garnish.
If anyone wants the recipe, let me know and I will post it here later.
It's official. MagicHour is my fav photo app for Android, at the moment.

after tarts and crumbles lately, I had gotten used to a dessert with my dinner. So, having noting prepared, I made this very quickly.
Take an eating apple and chop it up, removing the core but leaving the skin on. Put in a (this one) bowl, add a tablespoon of water, a squeeze of lemon juice, and microwave on high for a minute. Remove and dust with some sugar and ground cinnamon, and microwave for another minute or two.
Meanwhile, I mixed a couple spoons of yogurt with some of the juice left over from when I was steaming the fruit for my tart. It made this pink sauce.
Add to the hot apple, stir and eat.
Then reflect on why you didn't do it with two apples! (But one is quite enough, really.)
The sheep were very timid at first and ran away when I approached the fence. Curiosity soon got the better of them and they came back for a closer look.
Walking to work today one could not be unaware of today's visit from the King who is also Duke of Lancaster.
Here's the police horse van with blue lights on, heading for the castle.
The joy of open source software. When the system falls over you just rebuild it and there are 1000s of people to help you do it.
A hard to find WiFi driver was the culprit for the delay in getting things working.

In tribute to one of my favorite authors, the title is written in 'Hungarian'. Older programmers will know what I mean.
First photo from the Xiaomi 13 Ultra! A little snail shell on top of the sandy dirt near our home. Light edit to the photo.
In honor of November's COP at Belem, here is my latte art that illustrates the passage of ocean currents. Also I can't do latte art 😁
