After my excursion into the world of bread making, I have taken to looking through some of Heidi’s cook books looking for bread recipes.
Flicker’s Lair BlogArchive for the ‘Food & Drink’ CategoryMore of Steve’s Bread Baking AdventuresMarch 9th, 2010 by SteveA new job!March 8th, 2010 by HeidiI have re-joined the ranks of the properly employed! That is I am employed by someone else, and it is perfect. It is a work-from-home part-time web development job. So I can do what I enjoy and earn some extra pennies, without having to worry about travel, or leaving the sheep or dogs home alone all day. Home-made, home-grown, home-bakedMarch 2nd, 2010 by HeidiAfter my rather unsuccessful last attempt at baking bread I kept meaning to get back and have another try but there never seems to be enough hours in the day. Applesauce GranolaFebruary 16th, 2010 by HeidiSince we first discovered homemade granola it has become a fixed part of our routine, every Sunday we make up a new batch to get us through the week. Apple Cauliflower SoupFebruary 9th, 2010 by HeidiWe did manage to pop to the shops on the weekend, we had to, we needed cat food. While we were there we of course checked the reduced shelves, and found a couple of cauliflowers, one regular one orange. Which was fortunate in more than one way as it turns out that little Miss Lynn is rather fond of cauliflower leaves! Cottage PieFebruary 2nd, 2010 by HeidiWe wanted to make a shepherd’s pie but the lamb that went into our freezer wasn’t very big so we don’t have a great deal of meat, and not really any that we would want to grind into mince. But we do still have a fair bit of the grass fed beef we bought last year, so we decided to compromise and have cottage pie. Mean RoosterJanuary 29th, 2010 by HeidiWe had a mean rooster problem; well in fact in the summer there were two mean roosters. They would wait until my back was turned and then attack me. Or one would distract me while the other snuck around to attack me from behind! Great chieftain o’ the puddin-race!January 26th, 2010 by HeidiSaturday night we had a party to celebrate Burns night. I wanted to invite more people than I could seat around our dining room table, so I came up with the idea of a Burns night buffet! LambJanuary 22nd, 2010 by HeidiTowards the end of December we took our first ‘lambs’ to be processed. Two of them were in fact what is known as ‘long yearlings’ or hoggets (between 1 & 2 years old). We had waited as Shetland sheep are so small that it can be better to let them gain a little more size. The third was a lamb from this year, but whereas we would have liked to wait he was already a very good size and one of his horns would have proved fatal. Curry nightJanuary 19th, 2010 by HeidiAs I mentioned yesterday, I went out all day Saturday and left Steve to prepare dinner. The thing being that we were having friends over for a curry night! Locally RaisedJanuary 15th, 2010 by SteveWe like our food and prefer to know where it comes from. Ever since we started watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage series we try to grow and raise as much of our own food as possible. |
