Thanks to NASA/ JPL/Malin Space Science Systems for one of the above images
Images A and B are one or more of the following:
                                                                           1) A canyon on the Martian Surface
                                                                           2) Chocolate icing on a cup-cake
                                                                           3) The Martian Polar Cap
                                                                           4) The surface of Titan
                                                                           5) The crust on a sour-dough loaf

Answers to these and many other fundamental questions of 'Life the Universe and Everything' will be provided in future posts. Who knows? - I may even show you my banjo!

As 'Man' and 'an old architect' cannot live by Astronomy and Art alone,Toot made her second sour-dough loaf today, terrific! I am just about to sit down to tea and have crab sandwiches and salad.

Watching someone making sour-dough bread is quite fascinating. First you make the 'mother' fermented yeast mixture. Then you make your bread dough, you knead it, you let it 'prove', you slash it and then you bake it. Finally you eat it, delicious!

Thanks to Rachel and Bimbar for the Sour-dough consultancy.
