Onion recipe.

If you enjoy onions here is an old style recipe for you.

Onions Summorsaette.

Peel 2 medium size onions and parboil them for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Line a pie plate or shallow dish with grated Extra-mature Cheddar cheese.

Dust lightly with herbs de Provence.

When the onions are done drain them and then cut them into quarters. Add a knub of butter and mix gently over the heat.

Spread the onions on the cheese in the dish and add another layer of grated cheese on top.

Cook in a hot oven until the cheese is browning nicely.

Serve on wholemeal toast

And now another the 6th.


Had a very nice Email from Rain Macallistair to tell me she had used my Infrared pic for her book cover.
She told me "I searched for a black and white photograph of a bridge while I was still in the early stages of writing the book and your photograph was completely in tune with what I had visualised"
That makes it six covers now.

So the poster cried

The time to cry was before he got tanked up and started to put scurrilous comments of the web.
A lot of students are always complaining about money but they seem to have enough to get beers inside them.

Had an Email last month to tell me that Gall-Ox bridge at Dunster was used from Morguefile to be a book cover. That makes 5 Book Covers I think. I lost count on one that I had no pic of.

Calendar

Had the Britannia calender though my letter box today. Found 3 of my pix from morguefile used in it.

I went down to the lake a couple of times to watch the seagulls “fishing”. A young herring gull was learning and rather clumsy but the Little Gulls were very adept. I don’t know what their success rate is but I did see one with a little fish in its beak.

Weather nice and bright so I took a little trip. Went out to Rowberrow to start with and took some pix at the church. I noticed an unusual gargoyle right up at the top of the tower. Luckily I had the SLT A77V with me so i set it to 2 times and got a close shot. It seems to represent a goat which is rather odd because goats are normally associated with the devil. However the church is dedicated to St Michael and he was a "disinfectanting" saint.
So there might be pagan sites in the fairly close area. I must check on the O.S. Maps.
