Plans for today (2025)

[badjak]

Let us know on the bread please!

It's good!
Crispy outside, soft inside.
Just can't get it very dark on top, but the taste is great. It's a keeper

Good to know! Thank you.

Pick up a click and collect grocery oreder.
Pets shop for some of their expensive dog food (considering making my own).
Make the Goulash that I didn’t do the other day.
Then some Mango compote and panna cotta, Biscuits and Gravy, Mayonnaise, MG’s Honey Sesame Eggs.
And at some point the tamarind rarebit crumpet.
A friend will be over later as they need some things signed so I suppose I better chuck the hoover about a bit

I'm potting trees. Mainly limes.
Their current pots are too small. I bought 10 litre buckets and drilled holes in them.
Some lemon, some mango, mostly lime.
All from seed

Also busy baking bread following the recipe Puggles linked to. Now to see if that works with my ancient gas oven

That's my morning sorted.
I may get some visitors later on, but depends on what the rain has done to our roads ..
We'll see

45+ mm rain...
Still raining
So no visitors...

So no visitors...

I’m usually happy when that happens

There's this Dutch saying going something like:
Guests bring joy
If it's not when they arrive, then it's when they go

You can hoover over here too please! Mines a Kirby so you'll get a workout!

My recent slip up means my hoovering will be even worse than usual so better be careful what you wish for!

Yes I’ve heard that one a few times and everytime it’s still true

Plans were dumped unceremoniously this morning because the internet went down. The local (only) provider reacted pretty quickly - they were here on the scene within a hour, but couldn't find the fault until about 2.30pm. That meant I had to travel across town to a TOEFL class and cancel another.
Happy to say service was restored about 5pm !

Waking up hungry. Probably will have a simple breakfast (fried egg, English muffin, strip of bacon) and I might eat by noon today! Gotta go sort out tea first.

Planning on starting a levain for sandwich buns or bread and likely making homemade pasta this afternoon, plus some housework. I've got some smoked turkey bones in the crockpot that cooked overnight that I need to pull the meat from. Creamy smoked turkey and wild rice soup for dinner I think.

Guess I'll get moving...

 

[badjak]

Just finished dinner.
Sitting outside, having a glass of red wine and trying to prevent moths and other flying things from landing in it.
Pitch black as it's the sub tropics.
Listening to the insects, hippo's, hyena's and whatnot...
Just chilling

Waiting on some dude to take my car for test drive. How the goes depends on my day.its still the morning here. Picking up new car at 3.30.

Well, I ate breakfast (at around 3) the turkey bones got removed and meat separated, and I added veggies and smoked turkey to the soup pot for dinner at 10. I started the levain to make bread tomorrow. Getting ready to trim and bag up a pack of chicken breasts I bought the other day to get cryovaced and go into the freezer. Pasta is not getting made today. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow so I will just make pasta tomorrow afternoon.

 

[badjak]

Absolutely no idea what I am going to do today
But somehow some things will come up
