Frank Mills & Co ceased trading in 1932. I bought a box of these dinner knives for a quid the other day. They are sharp as the day they were made and spread butter very well. Better than the modern cutlery in my drawer. The bone handles are comfortable but mean the dishwasher is not to be used. Luckily i don't have one.

After slicing and cramming into sterile jars, I added the spiced brine. Now it's a wait of 4 hours before storing in the fridge. Wait 3 days before eating.
Note that this is pickling and not canning. Shelf life for this is about 3 to 6 weeks. Over time the leaves will soften but develop more flavor.
One of the wonderful things about Lancaster is the genuine sense of community. On the site of a former quarry is now a community garden, and here is the community compost heap!
It helps to make money go further by growing your own stuff, and it brings people together in common tasks, and enhances wellbeing in all sorts of ways.
You can read more about it, here:
I hear that the American store, K-Mart has all but disappeared. online competition has influenced this I guess. Their Blue Light Specials used to amuse me when I would see people thundering across the enormous store to buy stuff that was cheap but completely unneeded!
I posted a shot of this glass vase earlier this year and promised to put lights inside and show the result. Here it is.
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.
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 😁
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 finished article. Can serve with salad and a lemon dressing but i chose some pickles. It will do.
Canal & River Trust was founded in 2012. The charity cares for a network of about 2000 miles of waterways.
US460 east of Windsor a light afternoon shower falling over Lake Prince. The setting Sun illuminated the shower.

Tuck is an artisanal bakery and café in Lancaster. I was consumed by afternoon munchies and a need for coffee. The patisserie is an unusual 'Financier'. Usually baked to look like a gold bar (hence the name) this round one proves that one's shape isn't everything.
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.
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.
A Utility Scheme chair, made from laminated wood, sometime between 1942 and 1949.
Note the use of rivets to attach the back. Less metal needed than a turned bolt.
It's standing on facsimiles of the Utility Buying Permit and unit tokens. These were issued to priority customers, such as people whose homes had suffered bomb damage, and newly married couples.
The Utility Scheme ended in 1949.
"Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."

In tribute to one of my favorite authors, the title is written in 'Hungarian'. Older programmers will know what I mean.
I rather like these - I wonder if they will be there next week?
Those handrails are made from ash - they feel beautiful; you can feel the grain on the wood.
I had some bits of ginger left over so planted them in some compost and grit. Forgot about it. And this morning i was greeted with this happy sight.
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.
This is one of the ways into the Royal Lancaster Infirmary. It's the original building and this is just next to the foundation stone that was laid by the then MP, James Williamson.
