Busy Rainy Morning

Today is Saturday. Before we came into town today I decided to tackle a few things.  Cooking being the main one. Outside of course since I am determined not to cook in the caravan, even if it is raining outside.

 

 

When it is wet the otherwise quite spacious annex is very crowded. K has every chair we own unpacked and set up just in case someone needs them and because is it raining his tools are under the annex too.  The washing I did yesterday with the saved shower water is hanging from the annex roof. Yes I know I could have taken it down the hill to the shearing shed and hung it up there. Granted it would probably be dry by now but I would have got soaked opening the gate on the way.

 

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.
