The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,

and all of them going to the fair.

 

The Dicken's Christmas Fair to be exact. It's a Victorian visual feast between now and Christmas at the Cow Palace in Daly City. It's well worth a visit if you're local.

 

This lady is technically a candle maker and not a candlestick maker, I guess.

Shot in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Every year in January, in the days leading up to the festival of Uttarayan, the skies of Ahmedabad are filled with the merry cries of the kite-fliers chasing and cutting each other’s kites. The least celebrated, yet a crucial part of this are the manjha-makers, who make the kite string by coating it with ground glass with their bare hands. The lack of private workspaces has forced the string-maker onto the streets.

This picture captures the day and night-long toil of the thread-maker as he tirelessly plies his craft in a corner against the daily traffic of the city.

 

Photo of this bread maker was taken on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor during one of my trips to Egypt during the 1990s. Again, is a scanned image.

Long exposure taken from a great spot at the Narrow Neck Peninsula in Blue Mountains. I loved the strange rock pattern in the foreground and loved the motion of the trees and clouds. To me the trees looked like a dream maker, weaving the fabric of the clouds and creating their motion towards me.

This plate is on a dynamo supplied by McClure & Whitfield for powering the projectors at the Brookfield Cinema in Poynton, Cheshire, in 1938. The translation - Mersey, I'm ready.

 

The Mersey Dynamo works of McClure & Whitfield appears to have originated in a foundry business called Cameron Pearson which was merged into McClure & Whitfield in 1892 and became one of the first electrical engineering companies in the world, manufacturing dynamos. McClure & Whitfield installed the first electrical lighting powered by one of their dynamos on the Embankment in 1897, it also supplied the navy through 2 world wars with steering and drive motors for submarines, surface ships and indeed for mulberry harbour. In 1946 the business partnership existing between David McClure and Robert Brotherton Whitfield dissolved but the business continued. The company still exists and is still a private company owned by the family trading as Piggott and Whitfield Ltd, based in the North-West and in the City of London, installing mechanical, electrical, control and data systems into commercial and industrial properties all over the UK and beyond.

Last saturday I visited a flea market and found this handmade lace collar which fits perfectly in my book The unknown maker ... happy days!

silvercrest yoghurt maker is my latest buy from a charity shop £10

i love it!! very easy to use. nothing fancy. it's simply a warmer with an on and off switch, a pink pot, a white pot, two lids and a strainer. that's all i need.

 

you tube video is to show the parts of the yoghurt maker not the 'advice' given by the gentleman www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Lxg9Q3o1w (from 01.22 to 02.05)

 

i followed this yoghurt making you tube recipe www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU having used this recipe when learning how to make yoghurt during covid lockdown.

 

please note

the milk must always be boiled first, then removed from the heat and only added to the pink container each time when the temperature has dropped from boiling to 110fah www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU

 

1. i made my own yoghurt culture using chillies placed at the bottom of the pink container and 110fah whole milk poured into the pink container just covering the chillies, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, replaced the lid and switched on flic.kr/p/2kzNqmg i left the milk and chillies to process for a few hours, until set

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 00.32)

 

2. i removed and discarded the chillies from the set yoghurt culture (1) and gradually poured 110fah whole milk into the yoghurt culture in the pink container to about halfway up the container, gradually stirring to prevent lumps, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, replaced the lid and switched on flic.kr/p/2kA7gKN i left the blended milk to process for a few hours until set

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 01.47)

 

3. when set, for the final time (2) i repeated the procedure by gradually pouring extra 110fah whole milk into the blended milk of procedure (2) this time to fill the pink container, stirring to prevent lumps, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, switched on and left it for a few hours, until set

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 03.50)

 

4. i decided to strain the final set yoghurt of (3) though it can be eaten unstrained

the yoghurt maker is switched off. i poured the set yoghurt from the pink container into the meshed strainer and placed the filled mesh strainer inside the white container to collect the whey, the watery liquid, from the strained yoghurt and covered with the lid

every so often i removed the whey from the white container and then returned the yoghurt filled strainer into the white container to continue straining the yoghurt

once i was happy with the texture the strained yoghurt was ready.

 

notes

by adding salt to the yoghurt in stage (3) and removing all the whey in the final stage (4) the set yoghurt would become creamy soft cheese

(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Z01S3GIGI&t=0s )

i'll make soft cheese another day :) flic.kr/p/2oqw3Q5

 

in the past to make the yoghurt i would have wrapped a lidded saucepan of warm milk in an electric blanket switched on to a low setting and safely placed both upstairs in a bedroom for hours.

a welcome tip to keep the milk at a constant warm temperature at each stage of the process sent from John Freshney www.flickr.com/photos/139753516@N02/

that method worked well for me when learning yoghurt making but this yoghurt maker placed on the kitchen work surface quietly processing is a game changer. simple, fun, much quicker and very happy with the result :)

 

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily

 

www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ helps to gather ideas and encourages me to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

The saga concludes...

Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.

All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. These trimmings are hidden in the pocket with the green embroidered blocks.

 

There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk
