Anyway back to the tasks.... I decided to make lunch with the left over roast lamb from the freezer. So I dodged the washing to use the outside burners to make Italian Herbed potato, sweet potato and roast lamb with salad. Yum
I have just about worked out how to use the BBQ to make our gluten free bread. Proofing the bread is a problem when the car is colder than the caravan. Bread rises really well in a warm car. But I had to heat the BBQ up so I put the tin on top of the BBQ lid wrapped in a wet tea towel. It made a sort of steam bath and up came the loaf a treat.
Bread is not too bad. Need a few more goes to get it perfect. But it tastes pretty good, warm with butter and cheese.
As I finished the loaf K came up the hill with more eggs... The chickens are laying four every day.So instead of turning the BBQ off I made a very large crust less quiche. K will be having quiche and salad for lunch for a few days.
I haven't quite worked out why my daughter has chooks. She, like her mother, does not like the taste of eggs. So while she is away doing the baby thing I have taken over her job of trying to work out what to do with a superfluity of eggs.
Heading off to town get the house ready for the family (and new baby) And upload a blog or two since the gods of the internet will let a SMS through at 3.30 am but will not let the signal stay on long enough to upload a blog with photos.

With all those eggs you can do meringues and also get your Xmas cake baked (don't they use about 12 eggs?). I bet K and you are wishing there was some way you could harness the water runoff from the van and annex in all this rain.
ReplyDeleteGood ideas Phil. We would really like to have a larger collection method for the water runoff. We make do by placing 20 litre buckets at the two lowest points. If we ever have a more permanent parking spot here we might invest in a small rainwater tank. However the sun is supposed to be shining here next week so I guess we just carry water from town.
DeleteActually sue you nee to get onto some of the yacht blogs and how they harness rainwater runoff from their cabin roof and pipe it straight into their tanks. I remember their was a number of articles on it in Cruising Helmsman using clear pipe to run around their roof sealed down and then pipes off the lowest points running around to their tank fillers.
ReplyDeleteWill take a look. We have rain water off a shed now as you will discover as you get closer to the present..... But when travelling again that might be useful
