a closeup of puff pastry pork sausage rolls freshly baked. they don't look great, my first attempt, but tasted ok. i've eaten six the rest have been boxed for the freezer

 

ready made puff pastry (£1.15) www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/sainsburys-sheet-puff... (first time i've used it and would definitely buy again)

400 grammes minced pork £5 (300 grammes would have been ok)

finely chopped onion

panko breadcrumbs (leftover from the sushi)

herbs

2 tablespoons of water

1 egg

salt & pepper

sesame seeds

 

mixed the minced pork with onion, breadcrumbs, herbs, water, salt and pepper

halved the mixed sausage meat

cut the length of pastry in half

laid half the mixed sausage meat along one half of the pastry

brushed the edges with whisked egg and sealed

did the same with the other half and sealed

cut into smaller sausage rolls

brushed the tops with whisked egg

put the sausage rolls on a tray covered with baking paper

placed in a preheated oven at 220 fah

the recipe said 30 to 35 mins but i left it in for more like 45/50 mins to make sure the meat was properly cooked

 

i burnt the base of the rolls as i had the tray of rolls too close to the lower elements of the mini countertop oven.

when i realised i moved the tray up a shelf and all was fine

 

the mini countertop oven for baking uses

only the bottom elements, not the top elements

a shelf at least up one from the bottom to prevent burning

Found this family of 'Parasol mushroom' in a meadow, fenced with wire, so I couldn't get any closer. I. Now I need to find another one someday, to make a macroshot of the structure of the cap ;-))

 

"The parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera or Lepiota procera) is a basidiomycete fungus with a large, prominent fruiting body resembling a parasol. It is a fairly common species on well-drained soils. It is found solitary or in groups and fairy rings in pastures and occasionally in woodland. Globally, it is widespread in temperate regions.

The height and cap diameter of a mature specimen may both reach 40 cm, a size truly impressive for the fruiting body of an agaric. The stipe is relatively thin and reaches full height before the cap has expanded. The stipe is very fibrous in texture which renders it inedible. The surface is characteristically wrapped in a snakeskin-like pattern of scaly growths (therefore, known in some parts of Europe as the "snake's hat" or "snake's sponge"). The immature cap is compact and egg-shaped, with the cap margin around the stipe, sealing a chamber inside the cap. As it matures, the margin breaks off, leaving a fleshy, movable ring around the stipe. At full maturity, the cap is more or less flat, with a chocolate-brown umbo in the centre that is leathery to touch. Dark and cap-coloured flakes remain on the upper surface of the cap and can be removed easily. The gills are crowded, free, and white with a pale pink tinge sometimes present. The spore print is white. It has a pleasant nutty smell. When sliced, the white flesh may turn a pale pink.

 

It is a very sought-after and popular fungus in Europe, due in part to its large size, seasonal frequency and versatility in the kitchen. In the UK, it may be found from July through to November.

 

The parasol mushroom is difficult to mistake for any other, especially in regions like Europe where the poisonous look-alike Chlorophyllum molybdites does not occur. Nevertheless, as with picking any fungus for consumption, caution should be exercised at all times.

The parasol mushroom may not be eaten raw, because it is slightly toxic.

 

These mushrooms are popular food item when sauteed in melted butter. In central and eastern European countries this mushroom is usually prepared similarly to a cutlet. It is usually run through egg and breadcrumbs and then fried in a pan with some oil or butter. Served with white bread, it makes a delicious meal during summer and early fall.[4] A savory Slovak recipe is to bake caps stuffed with ground pork, oregano, and garlic. Italians and Austrians also serve the young, still spherical caps stuffed with seasoned minced beef, baked in the same manner as stuffed peppers." - WiKi

  

"De grote parasolzwam (Macrolepiota procera, synoniem: Lepiota procera) is een schimmel met een lange steel en grote hoed en heeft gelijkenis met een parasol vandaar ook de naam. Het is een veelvoorkomende soort die groeit op natte grasgebieden. Deze zwam wordt vaak gevonden in groepen of alleen en staat ook vaak in heksenkringen. De parasolzwam is wijdverspreid in landen met een gematigd klimaat.

 

De hoogte en breedte van de hoed kan wel 40 cm zijn. Voor een schimmel is dit zeer groot en daardoor bijzonder. De steel is relatief dun en wanneer deze op zijn hoogte is, begint de hoed te groeien. De hoed heeft een karakteristieke structuur die wat lijkt op een slangenhuid.

 

De parasolzwam is een vrij populaire paddenstoel in Europa en wordt daar veel gebruikt in de keuken. De hoed wordt als een soort schnitzel bereid. De steel is dikwijls taai en niet te gebruiken, behalve als er eerst poeder van gemaakt wordt.

 

De paddenstoel is dankzij zijn grootte vrijwel niet te verwarren met andere paddenstoelen. Desondanks is voorzichtigheid toch geboden."-- WiKi

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

I wonder if there's no forever

No walking hand in hand

Down a yellow brick road

To never never land

These days I get to where I'm going

Make it there eventually

Follow the trail of breadcrumbs

To where I'm meant to be

To where I'm meant to be

I don't know what brought you to me

That was up to you

There's so many come to see me

Who want their own tattoo

I fixed a needle in a holder

Laid my hand upon your spine

And there upon your shoulder

I drew the picture as your sign

When I think about us

I see the picture that we made

The picture to remind us

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

I worked the rowdies and daytrippers

Now and then I think of you

Any which way we're all shufflin'

Forward in the queue

They like to move my operation

They like to get me off the pier

And I dream I'm on a steamer

Pullin' out of here

When I think about us

I see a picture that we made

The picture to remind us

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

November 12th 2006

When I was up in Iron Range I was determined to try and track down the Kutini boulder-frog (Cophixalus kulakula). This rare and elusive frog is only known from the boulder habitats in the vicinity of Mt Tozer. Armed with a map and GPS a couple of mates and I bush bashed all afternoon in the pouring rain through thick scrub and rainforest to try and get to where we thought the frogs would be. Having been scratched to pieces climbing over and under endless fallen trees, pushing through thick walls of wait-a-while and being stung by a million tree ants, we eventually got to what appeared to be suitable habitat. As it got dark we were greeted by a few frog calls, and after a short search managed to find one of these unique frogs perched upon a boulder. After hanging around for half an hour or so we also managed to find a few more individuals, and then began the strenuous journey back in the dark attempting to follow our GPS breadcrumbs (with limited success).

I could tell I had disappointed this fella.

"So you're gonna use me for next year's Christmas cards, and what do I get?"

 

It is unbelievable how fast these birds move. Pinning the focus on an eye is really difficult! Clearly more depth of field would have helped but I was already on iso 800 and handholding a telephoto at a slightly too slow shutter speed......

Maybe next time I'll pay him some bread to keep still for me.

Bread

 

In a popular Grimm’s fairytale, Hansel and Gretel are taken deep into the forest in the hope they will not find their way out . However, clever Hansel has left a trail of breadcrumbs to show their return path.

Blackberry crumble is really a classic British pudding. It's moderately stodgy, but delicious on cold winter days! (Or for breakfast, I find - cold with cream on it. But that's not a traditional British way of eating it, that's just me ;-))

 

Put blackberries uncooked into an oven proof dish with a little water to stop them sticking to the bottom and some sugar sprinkled over.

 

You'll need enough plain flour to give a nice depth of covering over the dish, but measure it out into a bowl using an English tablespoon so you know how much there is. (One rounded English tablespoon of flour is the same as 1 oz.)

 

Once you know how much flour there is, you need half the weight in butter. For example, 6 rounded tablespoons of flour means you need 3 oz of butter. (Estimating the amount is fine, but if it's your first time, then best to weigh the butter out).

 

Rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs (same method as for making shortcrust pastry), then mix in sugar to taste. You can also add a few oats to give it a different texture.

 

Put the crumble on top of the blackberries in the dish and place in the oven (about gas 6 or 7, 415F 210C) for 30 mins or until the crumble is a nice golden colour on top.

 

Serve hot with cream or custard (or both if you're feeling really wicked!) It's also nice cold.

Młoda kania na przyleśnej łące :)

 

Czubajka kania (Macrolepiota procera) – gatunek grzybów należący do rodziny pieczarkowatych. Występuje w Ameryce Północnej, Europie, Korei, Japonii i na Nowej Zelandii. W Polsce jest dość pospolity na obszarze całego kraju.,Rośnie na brzegach lasów liściastych i iglastych, na polanach leśnych i zrębach, na łąkach, w parkach, na poboczach szos, na cmentarzach. Unika siedlisk kwaśnych i wilgotnych, rośnie najczęściej na glebach gliniastych i zasobnych w wapń. Owocniki wytwarza od lata do późnej jesieni. Grzyb jadalny, uważany za bardzo smaczny. Jadalne są kapelusze. Dzięki silnemu aromatowi często jest używany jako grzyb przyprawowy. Najczęściej kanie przyrządza się poprzez panierowanie w formie kotleta. Można też jeść smażone kapelusze z chlebem.

I went on a bit of a recce earlier up on Ecton Hill in the Manifold Valley. I was looking for a certain tree with a view to getting up there one morning for a sunrise. As it's open access land there isn't a path so I wanted to lay down some breadcrumbs in OA for a climb up in the dark!

 

I came across Nan Tor Cave on my way down so I had a mooch inside. You can see the more popular Thor's Cave out in the distance.

From the Wildlife Trust's website "The sea lemon is a type of sea slug found in UK seas down to 300m and occasionally under boulders in rockpools on the low shore. They are often lemon-yellow in colour, but can be green, white or brown. Their body is covered in warty lumps and their markings are often blotchy. They have a ring of feathery gills near their rear end that they use to breathe. The sea lemon feeds on sponges, mainly the Breadcrumb Sponge. They lay a long ribbon of eggs which are laid in a coil with one end attached to the seafloor - creating a beautiful egg rosette."

Looking from Nottinghamshire into Lincolnshire, we see 4E23 Felixstowe - Leeds over the River Trent. I've seen multiple locos on this working before, I guess convenient for moving locos from Ipswich to Leeds Midland Road depot for servicing. The drone is a bit high for a conventional angle on the train, but any lower and the Trent wouldn't show so well. Kerry's factory in the background is a flour mill, and they also produce breadcrumbs for the food industry.

i've decided to use the mini oven flic.kr/p/2m3gaso more often and today fancied making an apple crumble. i already had the crumble ingredients and bought the bramley apples from sainsburys. i haven't made a crumble for many years but will be doing it again

 

apple crumble recipe by nigel slater www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2004/oct/17/foodanddrink...

Damson Almond Crumble serves 6

i swapped the damsons for bramley apples and didn't precook

 

650-700g plums or damsons

4 tbsp caster sugar or more to taste

a thin slice of butter

 

For the crumble:

150g plain flour

100g butter

50g ground almonds

75g caster or light brown sugar

 

Put the damsons in a shallow pan with the sugar and the butter and a tablespoon or two of water. Cook over a moderate heat until the juices start to flow from the damsons, probably about 5 minutes, depending on the ripeness of your fruit. Tip the fruit and the juice into a deep pie dish.

 

Rub the butter, which should ideally be cold from the fridge, into the flour with your fingertips. When the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, stir in the almonds and sugar. Sprinkle a tablespoon of water over the mixture and stir lightly with a fork. Some of the crumbs should stick together in small lumps - this gives a more interesting crumble.

 

Scatter the crumble over the fruit, then bake in a preheated oven at 200C/gas mark 6 for about 35 minutes. The crumble is done when the crumbs are pale gold and some juice has, hopefully, soaked through the crust. Serve with thick golden cream www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2004/oct/17/foodanddrink...

Apple crumble DoF. I made these yesterday afternoon and brought a huge dish of it to my brother's. I am so sorry I cannot share the smell ... The dish says it all!! We had some ice cream with it and it was yummmm! I used a new recipe and the crumble bit wasn't as crispy as I normally have but still yummmm! :P

 

☆★☆ recipe ☆★☆ ... soooo easy!!

flour 200 grams

butter 160 grams

granulated sugar 140 grams

3 medium cooking apples

 

Pre-heat the oven at 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 5.

Mix the butter with the flour in a dry bowl until you have a texture like breadcrumbs. Some say we should use fork, but I always use my hands to break the butter and mix with flower. Much easier.

Add 120 grams of sugar to the mixture and mix it all together. It gets more like breadcrmbs. The crumble is ready.

 

Peel and cut the apples into 4. Cut out the core and chop them as you like. Chop chop chop.

 

Put the apple slices into the casserole dish. If you are adding the optional cinnamon, do it now. Sprinkle the remaining 20 grams of sugar evenly over the apples. Now, evenly spread the 'crumble' mixture over the sugared apples.

 

Put this into the middle of your pre-heated oven at 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 5 for 30 minutes. I usually take them out before 30 mins. LOL

There was a gathering of gulls, a party of pigeons, and a whole crew of crows partying it up today at the waterfront. With the ice melting and people coming out, the hungry birds had a breadcrumb feast.

 

Newburgh, NY

New observations made with ESA’s X-ray XMM Newton telescope have revealed an “orphan cloud” – an isolated cloud in a galaxy cluster that is the first discovery of its kind.

 

A lot goes on in a galaxy cluster. There can be anything from tens to thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity. The galaxies themselves have a range of different properties, but typically contain systems with stars and planets, along with the material in between the stars – the interstellar medium. In between the galaxies is more material – tenuous hot gas known as the intercluster medium. And sometimes in all the chaos, some of the interstellar medium can get ripped out of a galaxy and get stranded in an isolated region of the cluster, as this new study reveals.

 

Unexpected discovery

 

Abell 1367, also known as the Leo Cluster, is a young cluster that contains around 70 galaxies and is located around 300 million light-years from Earth. In 2017, a small warm gas cloud of unknown origin was discovered in A1367 by the Subaru telescope in Japan. A follow-up X-ray survey to study other aspects of A1367 unexpectedly discovered X-rays emanating from this cloud, revealing that the cloud is actually bigger than the Milky Way.

 

This is the first time an intercluster clump has been observed in both X-rays and the light that comes from the warm gas. Since the orphan cloud is isolated and not associated with any galaxy, it has likely been floating in the space between galaxies for a long time, making its mere survival surprising.

 

The discovery of this orphan cloud was made by Chong Ge at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and colleagues, and the study has been published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

 

Along with data from XMM-Newton and Subaru, Chong and colleagues also used the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to observe the cluster in visible light.

 

The orphan cloud is the blue umbrella-shaped part of the image. It has been colour-coded to show the X-ray part of the cloud in blue, the warm gas in red, and the visible region in white shows some of the galaxies in the cluster. The part of the cloud that had been discovered in 2017 (in red) overlaps with the X-ray at the bottom of the cloud.

 

How the cloud became an orphan

 

It was previously thought that the distribution of material between galaxies is smooth, however more recent X-ray studies have revealed the presence of clumps in clusters. It was theorised that clumps of gas in the clusters were originally the gas that exists between stars in individual galaxies. The intercluster gas acts as a wind that is strong enough to pull the interstellar gas out of the galaxy as the galaxy is moving through the cluster. However, observations showing that intercluster clumps are originally stripped interstellar material have never been made until now. The observation of the warm gas in the clump provides the evidence to show that this orphan cloud originated within a galaxy. Interstellar material is much cooler than intercluster material, and the temperature of the orphan cloud matches that of interstellar gas. The researchers were also able to determine why the orphan cloud has survived for as long as it has. An isolated cloud would be expected to be ripped apart by instabilities caused by velocity and density differences. However, they found that a magnetic field in the cloud would be able to suppress these instabilities.

 

Searching for the parent galaxy

 

It is likely that the parent galaxy of the orphan cloud is a massive one as the mass of the X-ray gas in the orphan is substantial. It is possible that the parent might one day be discovered with future observations by following some breadcrumbs. For example, there are traces of the warm gas that extend beyond the orphan cloud that could be used to identify the parent with more data. There are other unsolved mysteries regarding the cloud that could be deciphered with more observations, such as mysterious offset between the brightest X-rays and the brightest light from the warm gas.

 

A closer inspection of this orphan will also further our understanding of the evolution of stripped interstellar medium at such a great distance from its parent galaxy and will provide a rare laboratory to study other things such as turbulence and heat conduction. This study paves the way for research on intercluster clumps, as future warm gas surveys can now be targeted to search for other orphan clouds.

Slowly it was time for a liberation attempt for her little brother Robby – you remember the sibling couple? Wilhelmine had scouted the area around the prison and found that it could be very difficult to get directly to her brother. So why not choose a traditional, simple method first? And send Robby a baked-in tool – instead of a cake (as usual) much smarter hidden in a loaf of bread?

It makes me very sad, unfortunately it did not work. The pointy chisel was discovered by the guards in the bread. We do not know why, but it could be that the freshly baked bread just smelled too seductive and the guards wanted to try a piece. Such a bad luck ...

Ingredients: Wholegrain bread (crumbs), this lies together with a tiny nail on a muffin form made of paper. Natural light, supplemented by a spot with a flashlight. Size of the entire picture 2 cm.

Langsam wurde es mal Zeit für einen Befreiungsversuch von ihrem kleinen Bruder Robby – Ihr erinnert Euch an das Geschwisterpaar? Wilhelmine hatte die Gegend um das Gefängnis ausgekundschaftet und festgestellt, dass es sehr schwierig werden könnte, direkt zu ihrem Bruder zu gelangen. Warum also nicht als erstes eine traditionelle ganz schlichte Methode wählen? Und Robby ein eingebackenes Werkzeug zusenden – statt in einem Kuchen (wie üblich) viel schlauer, in einem Brot getarnt?

Es macht mich ganz traurig, leider hat es nicht geklappt. Der spitze Meißel wurde von dem Wachpersonal im Brot entdeckt. Wir wissen nicht warum, aber es könnte sein, dass das frisch gebackene Brot einfach zu verführerisch gerochen hat und die Wärter ein Stück probieren wollten. So ein großes Pech ...

Things got unexpectedly dramatic at Al Qudra, Dubai, when these three geese decided to march straight at me as if I had personally offended their feathered pride! The white leader strutted forward with absolute authority, while the two grey companions flanked like seasoned bodyguards. For a moment, I felt less like a photographer and more like a trespasser in goose territory. Their synchronized steps and unblinking stares made it clear—either I was about to hand over some breadcrumbs or face a full-on honking interrogation. Who knew a calm morning of birdwatching could turn into a comedy-action scene with feathered enforcers? Next time, I’ll be sure to carry snacks, if only to negotiate safe passage!
