St John the Evangelist, Nenthead, Cumbria, 1845.
By Ignatius Bonomi (1787-1870).
It was built and consecrated on land given by the London Lead Company.
Unlisted.

The church is orientated north-south, and the cardinal directions given here refer to the liturgical orientation.
The small village of Nenthead in the North Pennines is England’s highest village at 1500 feet. Nenthead was a major centre for lead and silver mining, and in its time had the most productive lead mine in the country.
The London Lead Company was formed by Quakers in 1704, and the directors, in common with other Quaker industrialists, recognised a moral responsibility to their workforce. They built the first purpose-built industrial village in England and laid the foundations for today’s social welfare system. Complete with free lending library and compulsory schooling for all children, the village of Nenthead was born.
The benevolent Quakers built, amongst other things, housing, a school, a reading room, public baths and a wash-house for the miners and their families. Nenthead was the first village in the UK to have electric street lighting from excess power generated by the mines. The foresight of the Company, and its caring attitude towards its employees, brought immense prosperity to one of the most remote and inhospitable regions in the country.

This menu was my initial plan given how I am cooking from recipes this year and given that I have a specific target number for how many of those recipes I want to do. Doing 5-6 recipes for the big holidays ensures I hit that number. Though the decision did waver considerably between this menu and a more... popular menu. In the end, I chose this because the other menu included ice cream and it’s still too damn cold for ice cream, and this menu’s dessert sounds really good. Not all of these are new recipes, the rolls are store bought because I really like this mix of rolls, I’ve done pickled eggs numerous times, I’ve done the penne with mushroom pesto twice, and the sauteed carrots with kielbasa is just a spin off of another recipe I’ve tried in the last few months. Basically, it’s four new recipes, with one spin-off, one repeat, one of my own recipes, and one store bought item. As for that other menu, don’t worry, it’s coming.
Leg of Lamb Open-Faced Sandwich with Kalamata Olive Saltsa
Grilled Herbed Red Potatoes
Sauteed Baby Carrots with Kielbasa
Penne Rigate with Mushroom Pesto
Nutty Green Beans
Mixed Rolls (store bought)
Lemon & Dill Pickled Eggs
Amaretto Peach Cheesecake (not pictured)
LEG OF LAMB OPEN-FACED SANDWICH with BLACK OLIVE SALTSA
DERIVED FROM: The Food Network (foodtv.com)
This recipe did not specify whether the leg of lamb was with bone-in or bone-out. The weight suggests bone-in, I opted for bone-out since it is meant for sandwiches, and those weighed only 4-5 pounds which means my cook time was slightly adjusted. This recipe is at least twenty years old, as such, another change I made is a sign of the times. The recipe calls for goat cheese, I am not a fan of goat cheese mostly due to it’s spreadability, or lack thereof. For most spreadable requests, my first choice is usually whipped cream cheese. Whipped cream cheese wasn’t really a thing twenty years ago. However, I still decided to go with goat cheese. The problem with that is I opted for goat cheese crumbles instead, only to later look at the recipe and see it called for the cheese to be spread. So I did the most rational thing and got some whipped cream cheese and combined it with the goat cheese crumbles for the win.
170 g. (1 c.) Kalamata Olives
1 Calabrian Chile
1 Garlic Clove
15 g. (1 tbsp.) Capers (chopped)
2-3 g. (1 tbsp.) fresh Oregano (finely chopped)
1 tsp. Black Pepper
120 ml. (½ c.) Olive Oil
* Use food processor to grind, cover and set aside
preheat oven to 500 degrees
Leg of Lamb (5-6 pd.)
8 small sprigs fresh Rosemary
3 Garlic Cloves (thinly sliced)
* Clean and trim leg of lamb, remove any hard fat
* Cut eight slits in lamb and stuff with rosemary and garlic slices
If using a boneless leg of lamb (because it's all that's available, or all you want to pay, or all you want to eat) then reduce the marinade ingredients by about half.
60 ml. (1/4 c.) Olive Oil
1 Lemon (juiced)
1 tbsp. dry Oregano
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper
* Rub olive oil, lemon, oregano, salt, and pepper into leg
* Roast for 30 minutes
lower heat to 375 degrees
Add water to pan if necessary
* Roast for about 3 ½ hours, or until internal temp of 120-135 F degrees
For a 4-5 pd. boneless leg of lamb, roast for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I do not care for medium rare lamb, or even medium, so I'll be leaning towards the longer end of cook time and aiming for an internal temp around 150 degrees.
* Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes
4 Pitas (halved)
cooked Lamb (thinly sliced)
Black Olive Saltsa
Goat Cheese (spread)
226 g. (8 oz.) Arugula
* Toast pita bread
* Spread goat cheese on inside of pita
* Add 4-5 slices of lamb
* Top with black olive saltsa and arugula
This is a good sandwich. If I were to do it again, I might not choose pitas and instead opt for some type of roll but I like the combinations of flavors that this delivers.

preheat grill or grill pan
* Grill in batches over medium eat, turn occasionally, until tender (about 10 minutes.)
SAUTEED CARROTS with KIELBASA
This was a spin-off of a recipe I did from (foodtv.com) that included brussels sprouts and chorizo. I came up with this idea then because I think cooked carrot side dishes with big meals are just awful, so maybe this fixes that, or maybe cooked carrots are still the worst thing on the plate.

* Serve when ready.

LEMON & DILL PICKLED EGGS
It's not Easter without eggs. Last year I did a small jar, and I did consider doing something else gg related, but in the end I decided to go back to the big jar of eggs. The pickled eggs were a bit rushed this year on account of my grocery day falling on the Friday before Easter which just happens to also be the day that everyone and their grandmother decided to do their grocery shopping. I have to be honest I don't usually wait until the Friday before Easter because I like to do the pickled a eggs a couple days earlier, I think I am going to have to remember to not make that mistake again. Since it was the Friday before Easter, I was not finding any of the ingredients I needed for this at numerous locations. As I was going through this process, I came up with the idea to try lemons. I did finally find some fresh dill, but no red chiles, so I decided to try the lemons.
Surprisingly, even though I was rushing to get these pickled as soon as possible on Friday, their doneness was perfect. No gray spots in the yolk, not undone either, with a perfectly creamy center with no dryness. Rushing the process may have helped limit all residual cooking.

This is a beautiful but very dead Cecropia Moth that was given to me by a person at work. The moth was already dead when it was found by the person who gave it to me. Even though this moth was deceased I was eager to photograph it because of the beautiful coloration it had on its body and wings. For reference the wingspan is about 5 inches. I decided to place the moth in a natural setting to photograph it so I chose lilies and a butterfly bush in my back yard. Ironically even dead I had quite a hard time keeping the moth still enough to take a nice macro. His movement was caused by a bit of a breeze at the time I was trying to photograph him. In fact at one point just as I was about to snap the picture a gust of air lifted him into the air and when he crashed head first into the ground his antenni broke off, LOL. That is why if you look at the first photo of him on the lilies he has antenni but on the butterfly bush they are gone. In this photo you can see one of the broken antenni that came to rest on the wing next to the body.

Vintage Ring given to me by my mother. This was my grandmother's amethyst ring. I share her birthstone and I believe this is why it was given to me. I had the stone polished in 1992 and the claws fixed so that I could wear it. I think it was a child's ring and it fits on my pinky finger. I love it. It means so much to me. I lost it for 2 years. Just recently Jason was going through a bin of papers and he found it.
