A glorious day here at the coast. Continuing on from yesterday’s weeding we are continuing the gardening.
Andrea has taken out all unwanted growth from most of the borders and I took this fella down to size… All with a hand saw.
We are now proud bread maker owners once more. We had one in NZ (thanks Christine!) but it didn’t fit in the luggage home.
Now, thanks to a scorching hotukdeal.com, we have another. It’s first task was a wholemeal loaf on Sunday and it delivered in style. Mmm. Fresh.
Last night I tried the dough option and made pizza. I have been trying to make the perfect pizza for over a year now. I have tried several doughs, pizza stones, I even have a peel (a pizza shovel). This looks like being the best pizza dough I have tried.
I just cooked them in metal pizza trays this time. The next step is to incorporate the pizza stones. The awkward part is moving the fully laden gastronomic delight, even with a specific utensil. I feel much practice is in order…
I bought and built a mini greenhouse on Friday. Here it is with one lone chilli plant as a tester… And a few more randoms at the bottom to stop it blowing away.
Sitting in the sun having a coffee while watching Front Street in Tynemouth being resurfaced…
Carrying on the food theme… this years herb garden is bigger and better than last years!
I’ve already caught a cat rubbing up against my sage (never pleasant) so I may have to keep a close eye on them. There’s thyme, lemon thyme, sage, oregano, chives and rosemary.
