Me and my camera out for a walk


When I went out with my camera the other morning, I didn't just take pictures of clouds. I also saw these things. The tree with pink flowers is an ornamental cherry in our yard. The picture of that yellow vehicle shows work being done to renew a few parcels of vines out in the vineyard. Below, cowslips next to a wood pile. In a neighbor's pond — can you see the raindrops?

  2. Thanks, Tim, I just had a look. (I've been pretty busy). That air fryer looks good but it would probably be too big for us and for our kitchen. Do you use it a lot? I hadn't thought of doing that. We already have a dehydrator, anyway, which we use for drying oregano, tomatoes, etc.

    1. Use it three or four times a week in winter... less in summer, cause salades!
      The "dehydrator" function is good for keeping food and dishes warm.
      With Pauline being in an EPHAD at the moment, I haven't tried the keybabber attatchment but it does a small fowl or joint wonderfully, because like our old Moulinex rotisserie, there is no need to baste... it also does superb crackling... because we can buy large slabs of ecorse de porc over here, I tie the slab around the chip basket and replace the bottom drip catcher with an enamelled pie dish... the little drip tray is fine for chops, normal joints and fowl.... but wouldn't be big enough for all the lard from a slab of crackling.
      Homemade chips are ace... just par-micro-ondes the spuds, cut into chips, wedges, wotever and toss in oil and seasoning.... cook as per the auto setting!!

  4. Cowslip...they're pretty. Apparently the name was originally cow slop because they like to "grow by cow pats." If you can believe the internet.
