Cook the aromatics.
The food processor was missing from the kitchen unfortunately.
Red onion
Garlic
Rosemary
Celery
The importance of Elizabeth David in being instrumental in the transformation of British cooking after WW2 can not be overstated.
Here is my latest addition to the kitchen library. Three books reprinted in one cover. I'm looking forward to exploring.
See those little black things? Not dead flies but caraway seeds! As they are, they add a little anise surprise in every slice. I added 2 teaspoons to the dough for an 800g loaf, but I think I'll up that to a tablespoon next time. This cost me about $1 to make - it would cost heaps more to buy from an artisan bakery.
A bee visits some common ragwort.
This plant is potentially lethal to horse and cattle but is the natural feeding plant for the cinnabar moth, whose numbers are down considerably in the last few years. This particular plant was also full of bees doing their pollination job. Humans should not touch this plant either as it can cause rashes and other irritations.
As I stood next to it in the sunshine, there was the most amazing smell of honey coming from it.
Today most people in the north are obsessed with saving energy, and heat in particular. Double or triple glazing, wall insulation and so on. It can accidentally result in creating a hermetically-sealed box in which to live.
In the 'old days' coal and wood fires were common, And later gas. Burning anything produces large quantities of moisture. If it isn't vented outside, the home becomes damp and mouldy; quite unfit for habitation.
So, as you walk around this city, you will see many air-vents similar to this one, located just below floor level of the house. Cool, fresh air is drawn into the house to help avoid the buildup of damp.
Not clever, just physics and common sense!
Served. 250ml per portion, with sourdough bread (bought in).
44 serves today.
Today is the Feast of the Assumption, hence the name I chose for today's soup.

We were given a shed ton of eggs and veggies today so i made this version of Turkish scrambled eggs. Nutritious and comforting. People came for seconds so it went down ok.

Preston Guildhall. Opened in 1973. It has a troubled history and is a potential money pit. The use of aerated concrete in its construction troubles today's structural engineers due to some safety concerns.

The River Lune is tidal, and the range is about 6m between low and high tides. It used to be deep enough for commercial vessels until the 1950s. It has been allowed to silt up considerably since then and there is no impetus to do any dredging now.
You can see how the mud and silt have collected around the bridge piers.
Tis the season...Spring is nearly here in Australia and it rains practically every day. #AlyZenMoonshadow #androidography
Leaving the covered market, I seem to have arrived at LimeHouse. I think it is student accommodation. The views from the top floors must be quite impressive. But no access today.
A fine pair of tulip trees stand in the park. The tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) is a native of north America, so I expect one of England's plant-hunters brought back some seeds. I last saw one of these at Kew Gardens - an equally-fine specimen.
In a few weeks this will become a luscious blackberry. A great source of vitamins C And K, and a source of manganese. Boiled up, leaves stalk and all, it's a traditional treatment for stomach ulcers.
I like to bake them with apples, brown sugar and Roquefort or Stilton cheese.
Many of my Gypsy and Traveller friends will be packing up to leave the annual Gypsy Horse Fair at Appleby in Cumbria.
I narrowly avoided this fellow this morning as i headed off to work. Going at full chat in order to avoid the hungry magpies no doubt.
Discovered in Yichang and brought to Europe as an ornamental plant it has now been deemed an invasive species in many countries. It's a good food source for many butterflies which is a good thing given considerable loss of habitat due to agricultural changes. And pretty to see in town as it colonizes did used buildings. However the roots will force stones apart and cause structural damage and eventual failure. I cringe when i see buddleia on a high chimney and talk a wide berth.
Autumn wardrobe sorted. I like grey and fuchsia.
The local hospice needs to raise millions of pounds every year. Yours does, too.
Apparently the meat and potato pie is a quintessentially northern meal, often served with gravy and pickled red cabbage. With the proliferation of foreign eateries and changing fashions, it's getting harder to find a decent pie.
This is my lunch at the Emmaus furniture store in Preston. It was all I needed for the day ahead.
