Today has been a pottering kind of day. The first of my 3 days off starting with a sleep then coffee in bed followed by a day of hanging out with the family in my pajamas. Although i've spent the day in my pajamas it's been far from lazy, in fact i've been very productive...in the kitchen!
Last night i prepared enough no-knead dough for 2 loaves of bread.
After leaving it to prove in front of the fire i got to work making a berry oat bread with Esme. She weighed and mixed all the ingredients together and i put it in the oven, she's becoming quite the little chef!
Oh my this is a good recipe! I just had to go back for seconds, i'll definitely be making this again.
I didn't get a chance to use the quince and lemons earlier this week so today i cooked up some quince jam and lemon curd.
Then came dinner....I had some baby octopus in the freezer left over from the Sambal i made a few weeks ago. I did a quick search on-line and came up with this recipe, it was nice enough but won't be making it onto our favourites list.
Now i'm worn out! There are still lemons and quince to be used up, i'm thinking a lemon and poppy seed cake is on the cards for the lemons and maybe some kind of cake or tart with the quince. Any suggestions?
Time for some bowling on the Wii with Mia and maybe a spot of sewing.
Oh and i've been spending heaps of time trawling thorough this site, check it out.
