Atomic Shrimp 2024-10-18 | Since installing a ceramic hob in the kitchen, I have been curious to try out a type of pan that looks like glass, so the heat should cook the food almost directly.

Cooking Challenge Sidequest: Use What I Have at Home (No Shopping Today, but Mandatory Weird Cans)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-10-04 | Time for a cooking challenge, This time, with no shopping (I mean, obviously a lot of these things ultimately came from shops, but the objective here is to use what I already have, plus at least one thing I would rather not have)

What this is:
As always, the reason I do this is as an exercise to try to provoke myself to respond creatively; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability; to think more about what it means to 'try'; to embed a habit of thinking about and focusing upon solutions, not problems and also to experience personal failure in a safe setting. This type of exercise - in this, and in other contexts - has served me very well in life. Those skills, such as they are, have always been the driving force of what I do, on this channel, and everywhere else.

What this is NOT:
This is NOT a tutorial for cooking or budgeting. No guarantee is made that anyone else will be able to replicate any part of this video (supposing you even wanted to).
This is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor', although it always does make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted.
This is NOT an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits or low income could get by with less' - if anything, it proves the complete opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge'.
This is NOT a diet - it would not be a good idea to cook or eat exactly this food every day - or budget like this every day.

Chesil Beach Pebble Survey Part 2 - Gravel Positioning System (Also, What if Everyone Took a Stone?)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-09-27 | There's a local legend that sailors landing on Chesil Beach in fog, or at night, would be able to pick up a handful of gravel from the beach and accurately estimate their position on this 30 kilometre-long beach. In part 1, we captured the data; this time, we'll test the legend!

Chesil Beach Pebble Survey Part 1 - Spending the Whole Day Looking at Gravel

Atomic Shrimp 2024-09-20 | I've been talking about doing this for a long while, and thinking about it even longer - a trip along the full length of Chesil Beach, to survey the stones - local legend has it that fishermen landing on the shore in fog or at night would be able to determine their position by looking at a handful of stones (this was in the days before Google Maps!).

This video documents the preparation, journey and data capture; part 2 will be a detailed look at the results.

Making Proper Cheesy Beans (Also: Toast is Not Optional)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-09-14 | In a recent video, I expressed slight disappointment that a can of Heinz 'Cheesy Beans' were not beans in a cheese sauce. Not to worry; I'll make my own.

Ingredients for the sauce:
30g Butter
25g Plain flour
300ml Milk
50g Mature cheddar
25g Grana Padano

My profound gratitude to @WineberryHill for creating lucid and comprehensive instructions for this sort of thing!

Hybridising Bread Recipes Using a Bread Spreadsheet (Breadsheet)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-09-06 | It's not uncommon for bakers to have spreadsheets that embody the formulae for their recipes; this isn't that - this is a way to take two (or more) different recipes and make a hybrid recipe from them.

Low(er) Carb Bread Experiment (Not Quite Keto)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-08-31 | This is an experiment to make a variation on a keto sandwich bread recipe I saw on Mary's Test Kitchen (link below); I decided to try making it with oat bran instead.

Why? Why not keto? - I'm not on a keto diet, and I had a little trouble sourcing oat fibre powder locally - I could have sent for it I suppose, but also it's rather expensive so I thought I'd try this.

Mary's recipe: youtube.com/watch?v=aBLa3m13Ito

Ingredients used here:
100g Oat bran (blended to make it a bit finer than as supplied)
125g Milled flax seed
175g Vital wheat gluten
350ml Warm water
5g Dried yeast
5g White sugar

Cooking Challenge - Buy The Cheap-ish Things (in Waitrose)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-08-16 | Time for a shopping and cooking challenge, again, based on just trying to buy cheap things; not necessarily the cheapEST item, but a cheapISH item, in each of 8 categories.

What this is:
As always, the reason I do this is as an exercise to try to provoke myself to respond creatively; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability; to think more about what it means to 'try'; to embed a habit of thinking about and focusing upon solutions, not problems and also to experience personal failure in a safe setting. This type of exercise - in this, and in other contexts - has served me very well in life.

This is NOT an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits or low income could get by with less' - if anything, it proves the complete opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge'.
This is NOT a diet - it would not be a good idea to cook or eat exactly this food every day - or budget like this every day.

A Chesil Beach Recce (Preparing for Future SCIENCE!)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-08-03 | I plan to spend an entire day looking at gravel - this was a short reconnaissance trip to figure out some of the details - a short walk along Chesil beach - starting at Abbotsbury and walking northwest toward Burton Bradstock. Later this year I am planning a detailed survey of the gravel on this beach - this was just a test of my planned method and timings.

Making a Chicken Pie

Atomic Shrimp 2024-08-02 | All you need is pie, apparently. I read it somewhere. This is a recipe I thought I would tinker with until it worked out right, but it pretty much hit the spot first time around (this is the second time making it - the camera wasn't rolling on the first occasion)

Join the Atomic Shrimp official Discord server for FREE early access to videos! - discord.gg/atomicshrimp
Atomic Shrimp subreddit: reddit.com/r/AtomicShrimp

Ingredients used in this recipe (precision is not important - add more or less or other things if you want):
1kg of bone-in chicken thighs (~800g of meat after deboning)
6 Cumberland sausages
1 bunch spring onions (about 8 to 10 stalks)
1 medium carrot
2 sticks celery
6 medium mushrooms
pinch of salt (omit this if you are using a stock cube later)
2 tablespoons plain flour
About 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs - garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage (or use dried)
500ml chicken stock (if you use a stock cube to make this, omit the salt further up)
Small pinch of dried tarragon
200g Crème fraîche (you could use soured cream or yoghurt, but these are more likely to 'split')
Ready-made puff pastry

I said I'd link a video where I made my own pastry crust - here's one of those: youtu.be/cX-wezVGbqw

Slow TV - Only Just Under the Sea

Atomic Shrimp 2024-07-27 | Today let's see what happens in a tidal rockpool in Newton's Cove, Weymouth.
Slow TV isn't for everyone, and that's OK - nothing is scripted here - no narration or music - nothing much happens, except by chance. Most of the sound in this video is the clicking and scraping of marine organisms, the bubbling of water and occasional sounds making their way from above the surface, attenuated by the water.

Paw Paw Seedlings are Weird! (American Pawpaw - Asimina Triloba)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-07-20 | I'm growing some American Pawpaw plants from seed - at first, I thought something was wrong with my plants, but it turns out they're just a bit weird or different from other seeds of the same general type.

Slow TV – Bee Roll (*Other Pollinators Available)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-07-06 | Join me for a few moments closely watching the bees and other flying insects feeding on, and pollinating the flowers.
Slow TV isn't for everyone, and that's OK - as a slight departure from the usual format, I have added music to this video - partly because the insects are recorded in 2x slow motion (it's hard to see what's really going on at normal speed) and partly because when I recorded this, there are builders working on my house, so the recorded background sound would have been saws and drills and hammering.
The music is Hector Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique Op.14 - III. Adagio - public domain music from musopen.org

About the plants you see in this video; these are a mixture of native wild flowers and some of the cultivated forms of other native wild flowers; chiefly:
Hedge Woundwort - Stachys sylvatica - the plant with spires of dark magenta flowers
Foxglove - Digitalis purpurea - the tall plant with clusters of tubular flowers that the bees must crawl inside - we have various different shades of flowers but they are all the same species
Toadflax - Linaria purpurea - the plant with densely-packed spires of pale pink 'snapdragon' flowers. The wild form of this plant is a beautiful deep purple colour, but we have the pink cultivar
Cranesbill - Geranium sp - the bushy plant with purple, saucer-shaped flowers.
Mountain Bluet - Centaurea montana - the low-growing plant with blue and magenta thistle-like flowers

Cooking Challenge - Buy The Cheap-ish Things (in Asda)

Atomic Shrimp 2024-06-28 | Time for a shopping and cooking challenge, again, based on just trying to buy cheap things; not necessarily the cheapEST item, but a cheapISH item, in each of 8 categories.

What this is:
As always, the reason I do this is as an exercise to try to provoke myself to respond creatively; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability; to think more about what it means to 'try'; to embed a habit of thinking about and focusing upon solutions, not problems and also to experience personal failure in a safe setting. This type of exercise - in this, and in other contexts - has served me very well in life. Those skills, such as they are, have always been the driving force of what I do, on this channel, and everywhere else.

What this is NOT:
This is NOT a tutorial for cooking or budgeting. No guarantee is made that anyone else will be able to replicate any part of this video (supposing you even wanted to).
This is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor', although it always does make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted.
This is NOT an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits or low income could get by with less' - if anything, it proves the complete opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge'.
This is NOT a diet - it would not be a good idea to cook or eat exactly this food every day - or budget like this every day.

Cooking Challenge (Sidequest) - Buy The TKMAXX Things

Atomic Shrimp 2024-06-14 | This is a little excursion from the series, to see if I can buy the ingredients for a whole meal from TK Maxx (where food is sold, but is not a grocery store).

What this is:
As always, the reason I do this is as an exercise to try to provoke myself to respond creatively; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability; to think more about what it means to 'try'; to embed a habit of thinking about and focusing upon solutions, not problems and also to experience personal failure in a safe setting.

Slow TV - Weymouth Harbour

Atomic Shrimp 2024-06-01 | Join me for a few scenic stops around Weymouth Harbour in Dorset, taking in the view from various spots along the east side, then a lovely tranquil ride on the Penny Ferry and back up the west side, just in time to see Town Bridge open up to let the boats through.
Slow TV isn't for everyone, and that's OK - nothing is scripted here - no narration or music - nothing much happens, except by chance. Most of the sound in this video is just the various noises of human activity, gulls, boats, water and ocasionally, passing road traffic.

Slow TV - White Flowers

Atomic Shrimp 2024-05-04 | Join me for a few beautiful, tranquil moments out in the spring woods.
It was very lovely to spend a few moments just standing, looking at the beautiful spring flowers, however I am conscious that many people are not so lucky to have access to this sort of thing, and might be craving connection with nature and the outside world.
So, please join me, virtually, just taking a quiet, close look at the flowers of an English wood in springtime.
Slow TV isn't for everyone, and that's OK - nothing is scripted here - no narration or music - nothing much happens, except by natural chance. There are no sudden loud noises in this video, mostly you will just hear bird song, the white noise of a gentle breeze through the branches, and occasional other natural sounds. You may also occasionally hear the faraway background of human activity, but don't think on that for now - just enjoy this peaceful moment amongst the flowers...

(This video was going to be 10 minutes of just Ramsons flowers, but as I wandered about the woods, a theme emerged)
