When you have it, you go for it...

here are a few samples of cards I made today, when I thought I had no go in me...
Well it kicked when I wasn't thinking, how happy does that make me feel when I look back over today. Cookies cooked, cake baked, and cards made...wow yippee...Get your crafty on too...In no particular order :

Simple words mean so much from the right person....

Simple coloured block, spritzed with water and stamped over with black.

Simply stamped all over, love this card and colours of Smoky Slate and So Saffron.

Hope you had a lovely day...

oh and the cookies and cake (over here for the Chocolate zucchini cake)...yuummm...I don't think there are any cookies left to cover or drizzle with melted chocolate...yummo.

its raining its pouring so i am making jam.

Just a quickie.
To do when its raining: (which again was a couple of weeks months ago. How do you put photos in here quick? i cant seem to and then i lose interest...):
Cook.
I have jam, blackberry. But only half as much as last year even less. The council have sprayed off our favourite blackberry collecting spot. And they are all DEAD....cry sob...
But we managed to find a few spots on our own 7 acres and the next door neighbours, shhh don't tell...

Here is a little pic.

And now to swap with a friend who has made logan berry jam. yummo on scones with cream.
Now off to cook some scones yay...Maybe I'll have to update with a pic later...have fun in the rain. Oh and the next cook up will be pears, the kids collected them today. A busy cooking time ahead.

and a small update, since I wrote those words ages ago..
The pears are about to be eaten or made into wine...yummo.
Cheers Tamsin. Wish i had a faster computer.....argghhh

goose egg - just one

We were so lucky (apparently they are quite rare) to be given some goose eggs to try. They are quite enormous compared to our chickens. So I went googling for recipes and found one for brownies...We have yet to try it, but it sounds delicious.. We made homemade pasta instead.
We measured the weight of the egg, just out of interest, and then added 300g of 0000 flour. The pasta recipe I use is 5 eggs to 500g flour. And a normal egg size is 60g, sooo the goose egg, as I read as well, is nearly 3 times the size of a chickens egg....
We processed the egg and flour together, (I'm a little bit lazy and have machines to do the work, so to speak) and pulled it out as a crumbly mixture. You could add water or oil or flavours, we don't, and then put handfuls through the roller a few times. Then we make it into thin pasta sheets. We dry it over the clothes horse until it starts to fall onto the floor. (only when you bump it) And then cook it in boiling water to add in layers to the lasagne.

This amount of pasta will do two meals for us and I will put the other half in the freezer. I also make the sauce the night before too, to cut down on time spent in kitchen... Heres some pics to show you...have fun. yummmooo.
