Old Crank's JournalAdvice needed.
I have a box grater that serves me well. Recently I saw conical grater. Should I buy one so I can have ,
A Cone of Grateness?
I'll see myself out.
Le Havre, France
Spent 2 nights so there are sunset pictures from day one and two.
The city was bombed heavily during WWII and reconstructed quickly after the war. Architecture suffered for the need to get housing and shops up and running to support the harbour. Our hotel was across the street from the private harbour and the wind was pretty strong.
Blind, bad weather? The dog still has to go on its walk.
There was some wind and waves.
The second night sunset.
Just tired of it.
Tired of waking up in the morning and dreading what I'll find what Trump has done while I'm sleeping.
Just tired of listening to his cabinet full of henchmen regurgitating the stupidity.
Just tired of worrying that he will be sending arms to Putin.
Tired of wondering which Putin connected oligarch will be removed from the sanctions list.
Tired of the corporate media putting lipstick on this pig of an administration.
Tired of worrying what he will do to our retirement savings and social security.
The continued barrage of nonsense, lies and hate from this corrupt criminal administration is just too much.
Well off to the gym. There is some black iron that needs to be moved around.
EV Jeep
Saw this on the way home today.
The Jeep Avenger. All electric. About a 200 mile range, front wheel drive only. Based on a Stellantis chassis. It is pretty cute.
St. Joseph's church, Le Havre, France
The day we arrived in Le Havre was grey , windy and wet. St. Joseph's was rebuilt on the spot of previous churches. The one before this was reduced to ruble be before the Allies pushed the Germans out in 1944.
Architect Auguste Perret. Foundation laid 1951 and completed in 1956. Brutalist style. When you leave by ship it is the last thing you can see and the first thing you see coming in. Day 2 had sun so the building has a different character.
Day 1,
New cross over the entrance.
Altar
Sunny day
At sunset from St Malo
It was nice to be able to spend 2 full days in this town. Better having good weather also.
Baking powder.
Here in Germany backing powder is usually sold in little packets. 1 Tablespoon or 15 grams per package. It is single acting.
Any way at one of my local stores I found a new product. I know it is new because it has 'neu' on the front.
Backin Pulver, backpulver for Air Fryers... 3 packets for 80 cent.
I buy the off brand of regular powder, 10 pkg for about 79 cent. The air fryer packages are 11 grams each, so you get less. I guess this makes some sense since air fryer recipes are smaller than regular oven ones.
If I get a specific recipe for my air fryer I'll just measure out the amount needed.
