There are two ingredients needed for clouds to become visible; water and nuclei.
Water molecules in the atmosphere are too small to bond together for the formation of cloud droplets. They need a "flatter" surface, an object with a radius of at least one micrometer (one millionth of a meter) on which they can form a bond. Those objects are called nuclei.
Nuclei are minute solid and liquid particles, consisting of such things as smoke particles from fires or volcanoes, ocean spray or tiny specks of wind-blown soil. These nuclei are hygroscopic meaning they attract water molecules.
Therefore, every cloud droplet has a speck of dirt, dust or salt crystal at its core.

Interesting, eh?!? 😊
PS: The colors look way too saturated and dull on my Samsung tablet, but look fine on my iPhone and Dell XPS laptop; ugh! 😩😩😩

“There was a mood of magic and frenzy to the room. Crystalline swirls of sugar and flour still lingered in the air like kite tails. And then there was the smell-the smell of hope, the kind of smell that brought people home.”
~ Sarah Addison Allen
"Mmmm" She hummed, taking another taste of the batter she was whisking. A frustrated sigh escaped her lips while she added more ingredients to her bowl. However, each taste test was a failure and she just wasn't satisfied.
The frown that decorated her face was not what he expected to see when he entered the shop. At first, he did not disturb her, just lurked nearby, watching her closely. He even chuckled to himself at how funny she looks all static haired, annoyed and focused.
She finally noticed him staring at her funny. Her expression changed from an eyeroll to a slightly shy smile. It was not the first time she got carried away. Maybe she should lighten up a bit or change her strategy. Surprisingly it only took few adjustments and she actually liked the taste.
"Come try this." she said, smiling sheepishly. He obliged, quite happy that the frown on her face was gone.
"So, what was wrong?" he asked.
"I was missing an important ingredient." she nodded.
"What?"
"Love." she winked.
P.S. Shhh, I know it is so cliché, but I don't care. :p
If baking is any labor at all, it's a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.

#macromondays #chip
A potato chip (often just chip, or crisp in British and Irish English) is a thin slice of potato that has been either deep fried, baked, or air fried until crunchy. They are commonly served as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. The basic chips are cooked and salted; additional varieties are manufactured using various flavorings and ingredients including herbs, spices, cheeses, other natural flavors, artificial flavors, and additives.
In little world they get some more usecases than just to be food. Sometimes it gets used by skaters as an half pipe :)
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Ingredients for a simple easy frittata, an egg dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; tastes as good (and arguably better) cold or at room temperature as it does warm; and can be packed with just about anything—including leftovers.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

have fun taking pictures of lunch ingredients this afternoon. Others pictures are here tongkm.wordpress.com/2020/08/22/lunch-ingredients/
Work on my new kitchen is finally complete and I am looking forward to cooking something simple and fresh... tomato and herb pasta comes to mind.
I'm trying to find the best fit for these ingredients. I made vegetable fried rice with them but I wasn't happy with it. I then made chicken vegetable soup with these ingredients and that was better. And poor Tom is stuck with my constant questioning of his opinion. But I like this photo, so at least that's something.
During the night recently the last two fruit fell off our indoor lemon tree. I looked for a recipe and found 'tart lemon tart'. which also called for half a pint of dry white.
I thought that together these ingredients would make a summery photo.
thank you for your visit
Happy July!
For 122 pictures in 2022 #48 "Ingredients for...", these are the ingredients for making beef jerky. The beef is an eye of round roast sliced 1/8 inch thick. Behind that are garlic powder, liquid smoke, worcestershire sauce, cumin (which I decided not to use), sea salt (I used kosher), brown sugar, ground thai red chile (home grown that I ground up), onion powder, and curing salt #1 (which I believe is just sodium nitrite). Mix all that up and marinate for 18 - 24 hours, then dehydrate.
Blue skies, red rock cliffs, all the ingredients of a great day. Hope you all have an excellent one wherever you are!

Trying to finish up the photos for this recipe. I learned a few things. It's better to have a smaller plate a little overflowing than a plate that's too big. This is a photo of uncooked mild Italian sausage, baby spinach, garlic, a yellow onion, a roma tomato, and dried orzo.
I am in a such a uncreative phase that it is hard to pick camera these days. Hope I regain this soon, as I still have to take 365 pics and clicking something everyday is becoming a struggle, so I am looking at my earlier pics to be more creative and bringing them back on.
