Experiment time! I have just made bread dough , let it rise overnight, and have added grated cheese, chopped and sweated red onion, a chopped garlic, quite a lot of pepper, and a good handful of greek basil. I will let it rise for and hour, then cook on the pizza stone as a sort of flattish roll. I reckon 12-15 minutes at 189C on the hot pizza stone.

GEOGRAPHY OF POLITICS
Interesting article in todays paper by John Harris. It suggests that clustering is taking place in previously fairly uniform voting areas. Cambridgeshire, Surrey and West Sussex have moved to the left (possibly due to migrants from London). Greens win in East Sussex, Gloucestershire and Kent. Whilst areas in the north have moved to the right. Or is the terminology of left and right out dated. Are people making economic decisions based on their situations, education and beliefs. Just as religion is virtually nonexistent in my world, so the discussions about veganpsm, organic food, poverty and food banks, the wealth gap and the obscenely rich have grown.

RHS BRIDGEWATER
A new 154 acre garden is opening in Salford. Admission £12.10 or £7.70 if you arrive by bike or on foot. Locals free on Tuesdays and GP’s can prescribe visits instead of anti-depressants. Costing £35 million the site will hopefully generate £13 million for the local economy. The site is a former scrap yard, derelict area. I think this could be replicated in many area. It is sort of a more practical Eden Project?

OUR WORLD
Johnson is to make voting difficult for people without photo ID, I.e. poor – i.e. non-tory voters. Emigrants given the power to vote. WTF – there have chosen to leave and that is fine, but to still have the vote? If they continue to pay tax that would be ok. Conversion therapy not banned. And Lizzie had to read all this crap out for 15 minutes. I wonder if she thinks it is worth it?

I quite like the look of this one from Yotam Ottolenghi – a cheesy potato and herb slab pie. Although there seems a lot of cream and creme fraiche in it. I think with 400g of cheese this might be too much?
