Why is this man - who holds no elected position (even within his own party) - even on the show in the first place?

Homemade brocolli soup with a soda bread roll.

That's awesome

Must be nice to be invited to a party in the first place 😭

Awful. There's one for Pandora that's been on for the last few weeks which is Christmas-adjacent.

It was really tasty. The meat just fell off the bones. But actually the sourness of the tamarind cut through the richness.

You're still a twink yourself. Definitely not a daddy.

Lots of apples on the apple tree at the moment, so utilised a couple to make this dessert: baked apples with cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup.

Autumn is when I move into the season of stews, casseroles & other slow cooked dishes. Today is slow cooked oxtail with 5 spice & tamarind. Served with a potato & turnip mash, plus leafy greens from the garden.

Looks like a busy couple of months for you. Good luck!

Two very similar pieces of art using swirly mark making

A piece of art comprising of the upper torso of an army commander with lots of medals on their chest. Most of their head has been painted over and a moth collaged where their nose/mouth should be.

An elaborate painting using lots of bright colours and ocean motifs.

A collection of photographs including a bridge with "black lives matter" written on it, a Palestinian flag, a protest banner which says "mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living", and two men kissing.

Some more of the Turner Prize artwork. Can you work out which artist (from my previous post) created each one?
#culture #art #Bradford #TurnerPrize

Rene Matic works primarily with photography, sculpture and textiles. Their artwork questions identity, society and how we find belonging. They often work with flags, and this piece was inspired by the Capitol attack in January 2021.

Mohammed Sami uses metaphor and ambiguity to create paintings about memory and conflict. Their work is often created from fragmented or distorted memories evoking scenes that feel familiar yet unplaceable. This piece is entitled 'Hiroshima'.

Nnena Kalu makes large scale hanging sculptures and drawings. Her bold, abstract works use mark making, layering, varied materials, and scale. These hanging sculptures begin with a hoop, tube or structure that forms a base; around these she wraps, folds and knots streams of repurposed fabric, rope, tape, cling film, paper and VHS tape.

Zadie Xa creates installations that imagine alternative worlds but draws from her own Korean and Canadian background. Xa's presentation uses painting, the sounds of the sea, textiles and hanging shells to consider links between ocean life, generational grief, Korean shamanism and ghostly spirits. The floor is highly polished to enable the artwork to be reflected in it like the ocean.

Turner Prize @ Cartwright Hall. I've included one piece from each nominee, with more info about each artist and their work in the alt text. Which id your favourite?

The outside of Cartwright Hall

A painting of Bradford in the 18th century

A painting by local artist David Hockney of two people chatting on a pavement with some houses on the other side of the road

A painting by LS Lowry of an industrial landscape

A lovely afternoon at Cartwright Hall, which opened as an art gallery in 1904. Currently - as part of Bradford's city of culture celebrations - it is home to the nominees of the Turner Prize (see separate posts coming shortly).

YouTube video by OasisVEVO Oasis - Some Might Say (Official HD Remastered Video)

A year of songs, day 305:
Oasis were never my favourite britpop band, though I acknowledge that they were very successful as proved by their sold-out tour this year. This track was their first number 1 in the UK, and was the last single to feature all 5 original members.

Yes please. Love it when you show off like this 🥵

Or whisky Wednesday in my case haha

Incredible willpower

Outside the theatre with a sign saying "Matilda"

The set of Matilda, with lots of letters displayed on big pillars and on the floor

As it's Halloween today, I couldn't resist cooking something using pumpkin. Savoury pumpkin pie.

Congratulations. Hope you enjoy your new home.

How frustrating

I'll have to check him out

Lunch today is the final dish from the Georgia chapter, and also the final dish from "Jamie's America": crab balls with warm salsa. It's been a lot of fun cooking American food - definitely liked Louisiana & Georgia best.

It's Halloween today, so I thought we should have a spooky/scary piece of music. This track comes from the 2019 American psychological horror film 'Us' and was composed by Michael Abels.

YouTube video by The SoCal Sound Tom Odell || Live @ 885FM || "Queen of Diamonds"

A year of songs, day 303:
This track comes from English singer-songwriter Tom Odell's third studio album. Using the metaphor of a card game in a casino, it tells a story centred around themes of chance, love, deceit, and regret.

Love Agatha. Love the eye candy in this adaptation too!

Oooh exciting!

I find Joe pretty unlikeable tbh

Hunting is a popular pastime in states like Georgia where buying game meat like venison is illegal so you can only eat what you catch yourself. Pan fried venison with creamy beans.
