The cold is back in NW Ireland, we had temperature differences of 24 degrees celsius in 36 hours. This afternoon, shot from my backyard a 30 sec exposure, the sky tells me it will get colder and in deed we have around -8 celsius again.

Amazing colours! I also like the cloud just caressing the slope of the snowy mountain. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Time to wrap up warm with a bottle of malt and a bowl of Carla's bean soup.

Talk about soup.... I bought a monster of a pot to cook with. LOL

Really fantastic, made a lentil stew filled to the rim with meat and tons of veggies, cooking time 15 minutes, versus normal time in a Le Cruset around 2,5 hours. The flavors are much more intense as well. Perfect for large amount of soups and stews!

Reminds of an incident which will live with me forever.......

Back in the fifties, my mother became the proud possessor of a pressure cooker. The first thing she cooked was 'mushy' peas, which normally involved soaking overnight and then simmering for several hours the next day. I don't know how things work these days, but the pressure in this model was regulated by a needle valve with adjustable weights. Instead of allowing things to cool down slowly, she impatiently removed the entire valve, and we watched in delight as a green fountain rose gracefully from the cooker and decorated the kitchen ceiling with mushy peas.

Isn't that just fantastic? I remember a similar accident my granny had (due to a faulty cooker or a problem with the rubber seal). It was fun and scary at the same time.

Ah yes, pressure cooker games. My granny had one as well... it could deliver ready mashed potato to the ceiling as well.

George, great photo, but if that's your backyard we're keeping the malt for our sorrows.
