This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!
oh my - why did i wait SO long before ever making these on my own?! delicious.
i've been craving a good deviled egg for years. i had some perky dill in the fridge just asking to be paired with an egg so i finally got around to making deviled eggs.
i had an idea of what seasonings i wanted to use but decided to check the Joy of Cooking for a basic idea to build on, because i needed these to be everything i've wanted them to be since childhood.
i boiled my eggs with my perfect, no fail, no green yolk technique. fresh eggs, cold water to cover, bring to a boil, turn heat off, put lid on, sit for 10 minutes. voila.
once peeled and the yolks removed i mixed mayo, fresh dill [lots of it!], dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, Wickle relish, salt, pepper, and curry powder [go Irma!]. topped it off with a sprinkle of spicy paprika.
perfect hors d'oeuvres to our final meal with neiva in our lovely birmingham apartment. i won't say final War of Recipes...
Thorny Devil (Moloch horridus) is an Australian lizard. It is also known as the Thorny Dragon, Mountain Devil, Thorny Lizard, or the Moloch and is the sole species of genus Moloch. It grows up to 20 cm (8 in) in length and can live up to 20 years, coloured in camouflaging shades of desert browns and tans; these change from pale colours when warm to darker colours when cold. The species is entirely covered with conical spines that are mostly uncalcified. It also features a spiny "false-head" on the back of the neck, the animal presents this to a potential predator by dipping its real head. Females are larger than males. The Thorny Devil's body is ridged in structure, and enables the animal to collect water from any part of its body, which is then channelled to the mouth.
Columnar basalts at the Devil's Postpile. Here a lava flow cooled slowly after pooling in a lake, bounded by a glacial end moraine.

Our neighbor was very nice to lend me the halloween costume of their Shih Tzu.
Not sure if Chikuwa likes it :)
Devil's Postpile, an example of columnar jointing in basalt. These unusual, symmetrical columns were formed by joints that developed when a river of molten lava contracted as it cooled slowly and evenly. The flow occurred nearly 100,000 years ago. The formation was exposed through erosion by glaciers and San Joaquin River. Devil's Postpile National Monument. Madera Co., Calif.
