The perfect ending to a perfect vacation in Lake District, UK. A rare day of wintery sunshine with an amazing sunset. What a beautiful place.
The world as Steve Jobs saw it:
When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
For an automated script we needed to calculate the first business day of the month. That turned out to be somewhat of a challenge. Here’s the code we came up with: (Inspired by Gledison’s last business day of the week!)
function FirstBusinessDay($year, $month, $day)
{
$today = "$year-$month-$day";
$fbday = 1;
$wday = date("N",strtotime("$year-$month-$fbday"));
if ($wday == 6) $fbday += 2; // saturday?
if ($wday == 7) $fbday += 1; // sunday?
$fbday = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("$year-$month-$fbday"));
if ($fbday == $today) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
INGREDIENTS
• 250g good-quality semi-cured whole chorizo
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon runny honey
METHOD
Slice the chorizo into 2cm rounds. Put into the small frying pan with a splash of olive oil and toss occasionally until golden and crisp.
Lightly bash 2 unpeeled cloves of garlic with the heel of your hand or the bottom of a saucepan and add to the pan.
Carefully drain away most of the fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon of it behind. Add the red wine vinegar and runny honey and leave to reduce down to a really sticky glaze. Keep an eye on it, giving the pan a shake every so often so it doesn’t catch.
