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 😁
Seeded rye and spelt bread. I've used 30g each of sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds.
The rye seems to have helped the dough rise more than a plain spelt mix.
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...

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.
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.
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.

Last night's batch after an overnight cooking.
Seriously 'robust' flavors from the olives and anchovies, but not fishy. Bulgur wheat absorbed liquid released by the root veggies.
Kitchen smells nice.
Made for a very fortifying breakfast!
I am listing this in my recipe book as Stufato - hotchpotch if you prefer 😁
The Aotearoa Overture is a rather fine piece and, like most things from Aotearoa/New Zealand, will leave you feeling uplifted and joyful.
I saw this record in my local Oxfam shop.
You can listen to it, here:

US460 east of Windsor a light afternoon shower falling over Lake Prince. The setting Sun illuminated the shower.

When first published this book was banned in England. It certainly holds a few establishment figures and practices up to the light.
The description of Wright's vetting process made me laugh - in the shadow of the current furore about Mandelson's vetting; it seems that being 'one of us' still sways and bends the application of common sense.
It's not 'literature' but an interesting and entertaining read for all that.
