Pan fried bream with Mediterranean tomatoes and cold courgette salad ### Ingredients #### Hot * Two headed and scaled sea bream * 16 black olives 12 cherry tomatoes * One red onion * A lemon * Sunflower oil * Thyme * Oregano #### Cold * One medium courgette * Half a kohlrabi * A cup of frozen petits pois * ~~Three spring onions~~ * Mint * A clove of garlic The bream had been bought from the fishmonger at Aberdovey, and kept frozen since then. Fillet the fish and marinade for thirty minutes in juice of the lemon with olive oil, half the herbs and black pepper. Cut courgette longitudinally and use a peeler to shave courgette into strips. Chop kohlrabi into one centimeter cubes. Add the petits pois still frozen Make a dressing from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a teaspoon of wine vinegar, the mint and garlic finely chopped. I added spring onions, but would not do so again. Chop red onion and cut tomatoes and start to fry in olive oil, then add black olives and some of their brine. Fry the fish hard in hot sunflower oil.

It is not 2006 anymore and this is not Twitter. Lets have better data collection: "I unfollowed you because you reposted this" is worthwhile feedback.

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

Easter Shoulder of Lamb We got the last shoulder of lamb from Sandy Lane Farm, where they had piglets! Starting a little late I put the swede on to boil, and started to reearch. I have cooked lamb of many times, this Leg of Lamb recipe isabout right. It references Delia and Ruth found this BBC Good FoodLeg of Lamb We have rosemary,some thyme, mint, lots of chives in the garden. A marinade of garlic, ginger, olie oil and black pepper. In Colliore in August 2022 I made salt, one litre of sea salt yields quite a lot of salt, I have been keeping it for a special occasion. Roased with parsnips and carrot Which all turned out well And was followed by Ruth's pannacotta topped with raspberries.

These look like lesser stag beetle larvae in very rotten apple wood.

Why would this service be funded by the US state alone?
The users are multi-national, including the US state.
A membership and subscription system should fund the CVE registry happily.

Those of us working in AI for long enough remember Cyc and all that it aspired to do.

A cautionary tale somewhere hidden therein?

Vinyl samples for ultrasound decor at the JR.Showing how it looks:A/W;in normal light,then with extra UV torch,then with just UV torch. I think there's loads I can do with subtle UV printing in neon to make this so much better;it's brilliant to be able to do a real physical test!

In the centre of the photo a small bee like insect with a darker central core and lighter brown edges has its wings outstretched. The leading edge is dark. It's taking nectar from some Blackthorn blossom.

In the centre of the photo a small bee like insect with a mostly light brown fluffy body and extremely long legs dangling underneath it. Its long black proboscis is taking nectar from Blackthorn blossom, which fills most of the rest of the photo.

Saw my first Dark-edged Bee-fly (Bombylius major) of the year on Blackthorn blossom this morning as well as my first Small White (Pieris rapae) butterfly in the Lye Valley, Oxford. 😍

"anything less than top rating is worse than not rating at all" this is an American thing. Anything less than 100% is not worth having. UK used to have a different rule: No one gets 100%, 50% is normal.

Totally agree it’s an act of abuse on his behalf.
Ironically he gets all bent out of shape when people call Twitter Twitter, an inanimate piece of software, yet he’s happy to deadname his daughter.

Last chance - if you don’t live too far away from WD7 8 (just North of London, right by the M25) I will actually put his thing in the car and bring it to you (or to a person/organisation that you nominate). A free 2009 iMac running Ubuntu Linux.

It was great to catch up with Chelsea Manning.

Chelsea paid an enormous price for exposing US war crimes to the world β€” and continues to speak out against state surveillance and defend the human rights of others.

She is proof that acts of courage can change the world.

Thames Water has been given a Β£3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.

Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?

There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.

The US administration appear to believe that Mexico and southern US will be uninhabitable within 10 years. So they need to slow that realisation down, and move north.

There is a starling murmuration between 5:30pm and 6:30pm as they decide to roost in the Leylandii boundary of the Oxford Business park, behind Neilsen House/Oxford Biodynamics. I guess it will hold up whilst the weather is cold at night.
