A steamed burger!
Why can't they fry them, or at least grill them.

I remember steamed burgers and hot dog sausages sold from little barrows,around Accy and Blackburn in the mid to late 1970's/early 80's. God knows how filthy the hot water was they used to warm them up?!

Thanks for the suggestion - no water on the floor when I pulled it out. It's about 15 years old and has been getting noisier. We've had a few repairs done, the latest 18 months ago, and were warned then it was about gone.

It wouldn't be much, just enough to trip the electronics inside.
The left being the "water in" side on most machines.

Morning .
The weather is dry here with a clear sky . I thought I would go outside and try to see Jupiter and Saturn. I could see see Jupiter low on the horizon with a large bank of storm clouds just below it . As luck would have it, as Jupiter is rising in the East so is the storm cloud. Also as time is going by it is getting lighter as the chance of seeing Saturn is diminishing !

Morning from the Borough
Damp underfoot but not raining
A good day ahead fingers crossed

Ooh! That bird was up early !
I went out to check up on how the planets were doing when I spotted a speck way off in the distance . The bird was really high up and was gradually moving towards me, it seemed to making use of whatever air currents that were available to maintain altitude. I'm not sure what the bird was, it had long thin wings. I'm thinking that it might have been a Red Kite .

Any advance on 67, do I see 70, 72...

It stuck at 100% & refuses to go any higher

It might have been a Raven. A pair of them turned up a while ago .

I thought Ravens had big wide wings. There is a pair of them very near to the end of my garden. If they fly between me and the sun, they block out the sun.

I've just been to Sainsbury's car park to pick up a two-pannier load of bubbly for my daughter from their Click and Collect service, which now sits in the car park. There were very insistent notices advising me to stay in my car. It seems I broke the rules by not coming in a car and by using deviant transport means.

Steamed hamburgers!

9-18" of snow in my area, w/ possible blizzard warnings expected to the near South, starting 9pmish Wed night continuing thru 7pm Thursday night. hopefully it will be the fluffy sort & easy to move. expecting the Teachers in the family to be working remotely Thursday, no "snow days" this year!

gonna sneak a ride in well before it gets going. 4:30-5:30ish, glad to keep the drivetrain clean this time!

doesn't look bad at all, probably only 9" of the fluffy stuff with high winds, probably won't accumulate much but drift up next to the bldgs

If anyone needs one, there's a wooden spatula in the middle of Morrisons car park in Hamtun.
It's been run over a few times but should clean up OK with a bit of effort..

Teds', a little shack on Broad St. in Meriden, but my ma also made them that way, although we're from Illinois. I had to look that one up just to remember it. Drove through some years ago. Beautiful part of the country you're in.

Because steaming is so much better. Especially when you add cheese.(after removing the pan from the heat. residual steam will do the job on the cheese.)

New washer/drier bought, to be installed Saturday (A Blomberg). We use a local company rather than a big online supplier with two vowels. And I've a stairs/landing carpet to be fitted later.

It'll be an expensive day.
