Asparagus and Sundried Tomato Risotto
Asparagus & Sundried Tomato Risotto©Kevin Ashton 2023
I must admit asparagus is my favourite vegetable, and by happy coincidence I live in Worcestershire which is the epicentre of the British asparagus. I could not let the asparagus season finish without posting a quick and tasty recipe.
The UK asparagus season runs from April 23rd (St George’sDay) until the 21st June and I am lucky enough to be…

Of Saint George and Mummery
Happy St. George’s Day!
What? You don’t celebrate St. George’s Day? Why the hell not? Never heard of it? Oh, I see.
Well, there’s that, and there’s something just the slightest bit, um, imperialist, or nationalistic, or jingoistic about celebrating a holiday for the Patron Saint of England. Whereas, you know, St. Patrick’s Day is about rallying to the banner of the Irish, an underdog people.…

St. George, or naming characters and the sometimes sensitive outcomes of this
Happy St. George’s Day! I do hope you are celebrating with something tasty, or wrestling dragons, or scaring snakes, or whatever suits your fancy.
St. George was one of the saints responsible for soldiers, as well as one of those fighting plague and leprosy. He, coincidentally, was born on the same day as Shakespeare (if you can believe any facts about that latter mystical person).
So he would…

The Day that Could Potentially Replace Valentines Day
Courtesy
In the English-speaking world, April 23rd is a day celebrated to mark the day St. George died, though this day has little to do with the saint. The date was selected as the International Book Day date because it coincidentally was the day that both Cervantes and Shakespeare passed away in 1616, as well as William Wordsworth in 1850. It was first observed in Spain in 1923 after Vicente…

Read about the first major sporting event to take place in the newly formed Irish Free State. The world title boxing match between Senegalese-born Frenchman, Battling Siki, and Irish-American, Mike McTigue, took place in Dublin 100 years ago on St Patrick's Day 1923.

Children
PAZ-3205 bus. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia
I have spent half the day wandering around Orenburg on various errands. At a crossing, I saw a yellow PAZ bus, marked “Children” and with a flashing light. I thought, wow, how they take care of their children’s safety. But I didn’t look inside. But now I have just seen a column of three yellow “Children” buses with flashing lights — and it wasn’t…

England and St. George.
‘…Whose limbs were made in England, show us hereThe mettle of your pasture; let us swearThat you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;For there is none of you so mean and base,That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:Follow your spirit, and upon this chargeCry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint…

Local Asparagus with Poached Egg
Local Asparagus with Poached Egg
The area I live in is famous for quite a few ingredients, but between April 23rd and early June Asparagus takes centre stage. The secret in this simple looking dish is the timing and preparing things in the right order.
The Asparagus season in Worcestershire begins officially 23rd April which is St George’s Day and now runs into early June. Some consider Asparagus to be the king of vegetables,…

Big Dream art project to send 100,000 dreams around the world and into space
The Big Dream art project is calling for 100,000 dreams in drawings or words to send to heritage sites around the world in multiple exhibitions and a journey to the International Space Station. #TheBigDream #dreambig #art
The Big Dream art project is the ultimate example of dreaming big. The project will consist of crowdsourced dreams encapsulated into one giant work of art to be projected at landmarks around the globe on a symbolic day of peace and sent into outer space with an astronaut. This has to be the largest group show in history and will likely be the largest number of people collaborating on a work of…
