At some point these lovely leaves will become a pesto with pumpkin seeds and a hard cheese and olive oil. I wonder if the plant suspects anything?

And now i suppose i should get up and embrace the day. Have a good one yourselves.

Or a well-balanced meal =]

Decant into clean containers, and ready to go in the fridge.

Stored below 5 deg C this will last at least 3-4 days. Having no dairy or meat, this is pretty safe to store for a bit longer (at home).

You can freeze this for up to 3 months (-18 deg C / 0 deg F).

Serving:

Re-heat on the stove or in the microwave.

Zhuzh it up with some yoghurt, lemon juice, vinegar, sriracha, toasted seeds, grated cheese, croutons, or anything else that grabs your fancy!

This is the side of the old post office building. Notice the peculiar stirrup in the wall and the handle further up near the window. Goodness knows what happened here!

I love how this species grows

So, the wrap I put together tonight contains:

Canned tuna (drained) and mixed with my 'house' sauce, laid on a wholemeal wrap, with chopped lettuce, and my pickled veggies.

I think I need a makisu (one of those sushi rolling mats) so that I can roll this tight enough not to fall to bits when I pick it up!

All cooked up. A stir and it's ready to serve or set aside for later.

in a few days this will become unctuous beyond measure.

I needed another title for the picture - but this is my carrot casserole, served, and shortly eaten by me and a surprise dinner guest.

There is a roux as well as some red onion in there, along with some sharp cheddar and Grana Padano in the crust.

It tasted nice and was quite filling.

Best of all it only took about 30 minutes to make from start to finish.

Today is National Carrot Day in UK, so it would have been rude not to use some in today's soup.

Out of shot is a bag of Quorn pieces that went in with the other ingredients. This added a significant amount of protein and thickness when blended.

Lovingly Artisan is a Baker in Kendal. Their strap line is "made with love for people who care."

Their sourdough bread is splendid, as are all their other products. Definitely for high days and holidays.

Fremantle has a giant ferris wheel, someday I'll go up in it, I'm sure... #alyzenmoonshadow #androidography

"CHILLI! CHILLI!" I had no idea what they were on about. They were calling out our order, and we thought they were yelling at the football game. These three guys were enjoying a well-deserved lunch break.

When a Kiwi says something is "half pie" they mean it's not complete or not well done.

I haven't used this dish before so got the quantities off by at least half again!

Let's see how it cooks.

Light, bright, and clean. It was a great welcome.

WW2 prevented UK from importing lumber for furniture making. The government stepped in with the Utility Scheme which prescribed design and construction principles to minimize material use while maintaining functionality.

These pieces, made from wooden laminated are examples, sold in Glasgow.

'Utility' was stamped on the underside. I grew up with this stuff and love it still. Anyone thinking 'Ikea'?!

After a while the cookies are placed on a rack to cool and set.

They improve from being stored in a tin overnight.

Because it's not an enso circle.

Buongiorno tutti! 😁

Now add chopped cabbage. I had a Savoy cabbage, so in it goes.

Replace the lid and cook under pressure for 10 minutes. Leave to release pressure naturally.

With the stock added, bring to the boil for a couple minutes and then simmer for 15 minutes uncovered.

Add yogurt in the last 5 minutes.

Lunch for 40. Frittata of sorts and pickled cabbage. £23. Seconds were requested. That'll do.

Warburton's is a family firm of bakers that's based at Bolton, Lancashire. They are well known for a variety of goods, including their crumpet; they make about 700 million each year. So I reckon they know their Eccles cakes from a tea cake.

During the pandemic many people had a go at baking for the first time. Warburton's published their crumpet recipe for everyone to enjoy. There are many similar recipes, and some include yoghurt in the mix, but this is probably the easiest.

At an old western themed restaurant for lunch and I love the look of these light bulbs. SOOC from the vivo X90 Pro. Love the natural bokeh from this sensor.

Here's my attempt at a double dirty chai latte. My new grinder arrived and the coffee extracted way better. At last! Though i say it myself, this tastes banging 👍☕

HMU if you want a recipe for this.

I saw this under a bridge near Brick Lane. All i could do was to stand open-mouthed at its beauty.

The annual Lancaster Arts Fair is coming to an end today. Those who know me will agree that it's hard to stay still and indoors so I went along.

Here's my board that's destined for the loo door.

Skateboarding on cobbles is like political theory and actual people: they don't work together in reality.

Inside the exhibition. Not as much to see as in previous years. And prices had gone up quite a bit. But so have household bills, so I kind of get it.

Newport Beach, Calif.

I found this poster quite eye-catching. It's actually the door to a public loo - you have to pay to use them, but you can pay with G Pay and Apple. Innovative. I don't carry money, so this was quite handy.
