Welcome to my new follower Rowena, glad to have you reading.
I
spent the whole morning in the kitchen, baking and keeping warm.
First
in the oven was the vegetables, roasted to make into soup for 2 days.
The
oven was turned down from 200C to 180C and was used to bake a test
1/4 batch of cookies, the recipe for which I believe I got from Rhonda over at the Down to Earth blog but I can't find it now. We didn't have anything to put on tops so
I stirred in some dried cranberries and desiccated coconut (mainly
because I had melted the butter in the microwave instead of softening
it). They are soft when they come out of the oven but soon turn
crisp. Anyway, the 1/4 mix made us 30 cookies, so not to bad and they
taste lovely.
When
the last tray of those came out the oven, it was turned down to 150C
to make a 1/2 batch of granola, before being turned off and the
residual heat used to dry the tea-towel!
DB
whizzed up the vegetables with a can of tomatoes and a couple of
stock cubes, some milk and a little soya. We had a bowl each for
lunch with a slice of home made bread. Delicious.
Early
afternoon saw me knitting and DB getting some new family history
information onto the computer. Eventually, we were both too cold so
had to light the fire at 3.30pm. The temperature here all day has
been 3C so we did well to wait that long.
