Looking like a bird that's roosting on a post, this arum flower has had its moment in the sun. It gracefully dries out and covers the base where the red berries will form eventually.

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 =]
They're cleaning the spouting today.
This reminds me of a terrible TV show. Another reason why i don't have one.
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.
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.
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.
I live in shorts at home, and was delighted to find these while out and about yesterday.
This version of the logo doesn't feature the boomerang that harks back to their site of invention (Bondi Beach), which is a pity.
And no, I don't have any of their 'budgie smugglers' in my wardrobe!
I can't cook rice consistently. sometimes it's great, and last week I burned it. I get distracted.
I found this mini rice cooker, used, online. It's smaller than my kettle; just the thing for 2 portions, ready in 30 minutes.
Shamrock IV Leaving for New York from Portsmouth, 18 July 1914," created by Charles Dixon.
Subject: The painting depicts the yacht Shamrock IV departing Portsmouth for New York on July 18, 1914.
Artist: Charles Dixon.
Medium: Oil on canvas.
Provenance: The painting was gifted in 1932 by the Trustees of the Estate of Sir Thomas Lipton.
Yes, Lipton as in the tea!
Of more interest to me are the warships in the background. King George V class battleships, some destroyers, most headed for Jutland eventually.
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.
New gelateria in town. You can sit here for a nice selfie moment with your social media of choice.
There was a queue!
After a difficult conversation (that went better than I could have ever hoped), and a large gin and tonic (first in several years -- yes, it hit the spot!) I went for some food at my favorite Neapolitan restaurant. Imagine my happy surprise and slight confusion when I saw this near a window!
Roughly, it means "may everything go as you desire."
'Things' and 'persimmon' are diffrent characters, but spoken the same way.
The result. Two glasses of odd-looking but very tasty tomato juice. Packed with vitamin C and lycopene.
A very tomatoey fennel stew, with dried beans (steeped overnight in cold water), shallots, garlic, herbes de Provence, and a random parsnip for some bulk, and 1000 ml of chicken stock.
Cooked in the microwave pressure cooker for 30 minutes.
With a trusty Galileo thermometer and Fitzroy storm glass I can tell that it is chilly and rainy today and given that it is January in England it is going to stay that way for a while.
Alternatively I can look out of the window!
I see where I want to go but it's not always obvious how to get there. Time for a flanking manoeuvre perhaps.
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.
