A visit to Glasgow would be incomplete without sampling a Tunnock's caramel wafer. Tunnock's is still family-owned and the factory is just outside Glasgow at Uddingston.
This coffee at Gordon Street Coffee. Small batches of excellent coffee. Great, friendly staff.
Several camera shops in the area closed around the time of Covid and none of them have re-opened. This was the oldest-established of the lot.
The result. Two glasses of odd-looking but very tasty tomato juice. Packed with vitamin C and lycopene.
There was a time when Friday night meant wearing something fetching and going out clubbing till the dawn.
Now it's about cleaning and descaling the coffee machine. Less messy and strangely satisfying.
The coffee is better, too. Slightly more intense.
Drivers of tipper trucks and wheelbarrow users will probably know all about greedy boards.
This little pot wasn't quite big enough to hold everything, so I added some zucchini slices to hold everything in. Hopefully 😂
The meandros, meander line, or Greek key is a symbol of eternity, unity, victory and long life. It's also been thought it represented the interlock img of hands during wrestling. Not just a fashion device after all.
Found a recipe on YouTube for making a kind of marinara sauce in the air fryer. Had the goods and the kitchen is a bit chilly so time to warm it up.
Labels can be misleading and even hurtful.
Once referred to as 'that asparagus kid', Asperger's Syndrome was retired from DSM in 2013. Now rolled into overall Autism Spectrum Disorder.
But I still enjoy asparagus 😁
After some lovely dry weather, it rained again today. The sound of the water rushing through the pipes was quite musical.
A Ukrainian friend made some cheesecake. It was very nice. I liked the raisins soaked in brandy. Interestingly it contains semolina.
If you zoom about a bit, you can read the story of this interesting bridge.
More interesting was being asked to read it to the fella who had asked where it was. Turned out he could not read. At that point I realised he was most likely a Traveller; many Travellers have interrupted or no school time, due to the way they live on the road.
Teaching adults to read is a very rewarding activity, and there are many voluntary organisations, such as the Adult Literacy Trust and Read Easy UK which will put 'tutors' and 'learners' together. If you have the time and inclination, I recommend it.
It's clean and full of good quality produce. And there's a decent market café too run by the local coffee roasters. The choice of fish was excellent.
This is near the end of the day.
I saw a picture of a single packet yesterday. It looked lonely Here's a x8 pack! I know, it's just skiting (or showing off, as they say here).
These chocolate-covered wafers live in my kitchen cupboard. They're kept for long walks and emotional emergencies. I'm sure the recipe has changed as they have become more chewy lately. Something to do with the sugar tax, no doubt.
My lunch with my bread and my cheese and my pickles. I'm quite pleased at the results.
Cooking and eating properly aren't just taking care of nutrition; they are acts of self-care and respect.
I don't know what to call this. The beef mince and tomatoes were on special and the capsicums were a gift. Everything else was heavily discounted.
I've learned by now that it all 'goes' together.
The Avant armor is the oldest nearly complete set of plate armor. It dates from the 15th century and was made for use by a knight, mounted or fighting on the ground.
My last bread failed to rise. Too much salt? Dead yeast? Not enough food for the living yeast?
I know not nor care. This is the next batch and I'm happy with it.
Fall off a horse? Get back on.
My whole approach to life.
They're cleaning the spouting today.
This reminds me of a terrible TV show. Another reason why i don't have one.
I noticed a row of trees all this shape because of the wind that blows from the sea. Marine topiary I suppose.
Upstairs from the supermarket i treated myself to this bowl of cuttlefish in chili and celery. It was very spicy and delicious.
Also nice for someone else to do the cooking for a change!
Romani abiit in domum suam. (The Romans went home).
Students from the university are conducting a geophysical survey around the castle to locate the boundaries of the Roman fort.
Pictured is a Leica total station - I'd call it a theodolite, but I'd be mistaken.
After cooking the onion and garlic in the wok, I browned the mince, then added everything else. Transferred the lot to the slow cooker for a few hours overnight.
A customer told me about her daughter making quiche in a case made from wraps, instead of baking one. This fed my curiosity, so I baked my first ever quiche, in an airfryer. Having scorched my 'emergency cake' the other day, I decided to wrap the whole thing in foil. Here you see it as it emerged from about 30 minutes baking.
Here's how:
Oil/grease a baking dish - mine's circular to fit the airfryer.
Line with a soft wrap - I used wholemeal. Try not to tear it, or snip the edges with scissors, if you prefer, to make it easier to hand
Now put it onto a sheet of foil that's big enough to loosely wrap the whole thing.
Fry bacon - I used two bits of back, cooked in the microwave, 3 mins, then allow to cool, and chop.
Chop an onion, and marinade in some oil for a few minutes. Now fry the onion in the microwave, 2 mins, then turn out onto kitchen roll and allow to cool.
(Why cool? If you put the ingredients hot into the batter, you will get scrambled eggs).
In a bowl:
Add an egg, about 150 g of grated cheese - I used Lancashire and Parmesan, about 100 to 120 ml milk (use full fat - you'll thank me).
Add 1/2 tspn (2.5 ml) ground nutmeg.
Beat together and introduce the crumbled/chopped bacon (which has had time to cool a bit), then the tomato (de-seeded to reduce liquid).
No need for salt - there's enough in the bacon and cheese.
Pour the batter into the prepared tray, and wrap with foil.
Lower the assembly into the basket on your baking tray.
In the airfryer:
Cook for 20 mins at 160 C (lower than you would in a normal oven, and it makes for a softer finish - we're not making roof tiles today.)
Now, open the foil wrapper to expose the (anaemic-looking) top, and return for up to 10 mins, to let the top brown.
Use a skewer to check it's all cooked - I like the middle to be a bit mou - it's a matter of taste, really.
Rest for a few minutes, and serve with a nice salad and a glass of chilled rose.
This recipe is enough for two servings. Enjoy =]
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.
Serves 40.
Strike one cabbage, 2 cans of beans. yogurt and cheese.
The rest went to make today's soup.
The jar of tomato paste came from the Polish shelf. Better value than the tube of purée.
Sweetheart cabbage, but Savoy would work, too.
Morecambe Police Station.
There must have been a sack of money in the not too distant past to build a number of brutalist police stations across the county. Compared with the one in Blackpool, this looks quite benign.
