The Kids found a Red Admiral in the playground today. First bit of sun for a while, but November!
Large Dragonfly at the Japanese Garden. I wasnot sure what it was so uploaded to iNaturalist: Common Hawker (Aeshna juncea) from Clackmannanshire, UK on 14 October, 2024 at 01:41 PM by John Johnston · iNaturalist. Surly the last I see this year?
Interesting dilemma, Thinking about moving to #ds106 https://social.ds106.us. It seems moving mastodon servers is not that difficult. I think you lose old posts but since I’ve POSSED some from my blog it is not a problem. Alternatively the ActivityPub WordPress plugin turns your blog into a member of the fediverse. The is attractive, but I am not sure how much understanding & work is needed. Or I could stay on mastodon.social
Pasta e ceci
Pasta e ceci
Pasta and chickpea soup with tinned chickpeas
Made with orecchiette rather than lagane
I make a version of this but without tomato purée & without blending half the soup.
Skipped the potato and added anchovies from the other pasta e ceci in the book. A nice variation to a frequent Sunday dinner flyer.
From Rachel Roddy’s An A-Z of Pasta. Planning to get through all the ones without meat perhaps in 2022.
Vermicelli puttanesca
Vermicelli puttanesca
A right way would contradict its nature, which is anarchic
so I used passata & spaghetti. I’ve normally made this in a more complicated way. I’ll revisit soon, by the book, with fresh tomatoes.
