In go the chopped apples, kale, lentils and n goes the lid while I go outside for smoko. Barista No 2 has made an espresso - consuming this while the veggies steam and wilt is better than using a kitchen timer.

Front door to the former workshop of Gillow's, a renowned cabinet maker. If you like furniture it's worth looking up the story of Follow and later Waring & Gillow. They even furnished luxury liners and palaces.
This is raw honey from the apiary near Preston. Being raw, it contains all the natural enzymes, proteins, pollen and propolis that make it perfect for the bees as their winter source of food.
It's so good that the bees want it back!
I like the color green.
This is full of good stuff.
It makes me feel good and strong.
So why does it taste foul?!
Here's today's mise en place. Next time I'll have more butter beans and a lemon or two.
Celery (allergen) and a carrot or three as wel. The delivery to the supermarket was delayed today, hence I missed them out.
It was received well.
These pictures are records for the kitchen inspector as much as anything.
The puller on the zip on my fave jeans failed so I sent away for a replacement kit. Of course, none of them fit. That's why standards are so important: GOST, DIN, ISO, ASA, BS, EU Norm, and so on.
But in the process I learned that Sunbach invented the fastener and Goodrich named it and YKK makes most of them.
At least my 501s have got buttons!
I've been reading about the benefits of adding chia seeds to the diet. I've combined soaking chia in water for a minute or two, to allow the mucilage (great word) to develop, with one of my citrus winter shots. It's very pleasant and might even do me good.
Pump up the volume and get on down. My kitchen floor is a great dance space and big enough for a party.
As we age it's important to keep mobile. Any time is good for dancing at any age. If you have ADHD then dancing is a fantastic way to deal with things like overwhelm and even procrastination.
Dance beats are a tad quicker than in the original disco days so i have to work harder. That's true in many things.
The stew decanted into a bail jar, for storage in the fridge when it cools down a bit.
This should give 5 servings (with some crusty bread, for example). A glass of wine, of course!
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.
I found this yesterday at a local charity/thrift/op shop. I was completely captured by the lines of this simple machine.
At home, I discovered the Dymo 1470 was made in 1970, and won the prestigious iF Design Award. I can see why: it's a work of art.
After labelling some of the obscure switches where I live, I thought about how people are often labelled (which I don't like at all). I was once described by my boss as a 'Type C personality'. I thought this detail needed a label all of its own, which I shall later discard, along with all the other labels that have been applied to me over the years.
After some lovely dry weather, it rained again today. The sound of the water rushing through the pipes was quite musical.
I'm hoping this little paperback is still for sale next week. It's supposed to be an interesting read. Hockney* has always 'been around' my consciousness and this collection of conversations might provide some interesting insights.
*edited. Thanks. Veronica 😁
I was planning on going to Liverpool today, but the rain put me off. I decided to cook what was lying about in the kitchen in order to keep busy and productive.
Having sauteed some onion and other bits and pieces, I added some butterbeans that had been soaking, and some little plum tomatoes (I sauteed some, and added the rest as you can see here).
The bus floor is covered with this jolly stuff. Designed to be grippy if damp (it often is here) and to hide dirt during the course of the day. The colors are uplifting too
More clever industrial design.
Emerging from the depths of a hollow, rotting tree. Beetles and bacteria turn this massive oak into a fine brown dust. Amazing and beautiful.
Happy pines border the raging river below.
Or maybe they are on a mountainside.
Or maybe you can tell me 👍
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.
Cutting through the crisp coating of breadcrumbs reveals the mixture of sardines, sweet corn, potato and other bits and pieces.
Full of flavor and interesting to eat. 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook. Easy, nutritious, and affordable.
Canal & River Trust was founded in 2012. The charity cares for a network of about 2000 miles of waterways.
My plants enjoy the damp but it's not healthy to live with. This is a chemical dehumidifier and the blue is the absorbed moisture.
Stoss entluftung aka opening the window (!) is a current craze. It is obvious really but energy is expensive and people are unwilling to lose heat. It's all about balance really.
A dreary cloudy day, but this palm tree was cutting through all the gloom. The Pixel telephoto sensor might be one of the best available on any phone right now...
Minor edits in Snapseed, shot from the Pixel 7 Pro.
With the veggies sauteed, the stock is added.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for a further 15 minutes.
I'm using a maslin pan (large volume, thick and even base for consistent heat transfer, big surface area to promote evaporation which will intensify the taste).
Brussels sprouts are labor-intensive, but worth the effort for the color and flavor.
That's a bay leaf, not some detritus that's blown in the window.
My fan is registering a high pollen count - that would explain why my eyes feel like they have been rubbed with sandpaper.
Any amount of pollen over 20 mg / cubic meter is considered high, especially if it is birch pollen. Strange, I never suffered from sensititivty to pollen until after the Gulf War.
The hill leading to the entrance of Lancaster Castle is known as Weeping Hill. Not for the tears of relatives and prisoners being taken into the prison but because the hill becomes unaccountably wet even when there's no rain. The water comes from the well inside the castle when it overflows due to fluctuations in the level of the water table.
The canopy at this station is exemplary. Installed in 2011 over 5 months, and costing about GBP 1.7 million, it provides wonderful cover and easy views and access. Compare and contrast with the restoration going on at Lancaster (Grade II listed, going way over time (and budget, surely)), it is the way to go.
