Sunday, May 30, 2010. The Name the Nappy competition. It's been a long wait, but I've decided on the winner of the "Name the Snappi Nappy" competition that I had running on the website throughout the last GDUNH, back in March. The winner is Kristy with her AWESOME suggestion of calling the reversible, brightly coloured newborn nappy a "turnover" and naming each colour a particular flavour. I love the idea you came up with!

Adventures in preserving: October 2013
http://adventuresinpreserving.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 10, 2013. Back on the horse at last. So, as you can see from the attached photos, a number of exciting things have happened. Firstly, the new oven that I have scrimped and saved and struggled for its here, it's working perfectly, and I have been baking and baking and baking. See the pics of my cupboard? Do you have any idea how amazingly good I feel having just those few full jars in there? I'm all warm and fuzzy. I refused to put my canner away in its dark corner again. I have ...

Adventures in preserving: August 2013
http://adventuresinpreserving.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Baking, with a twist. The wait for the oven is doing weird things to my brain. The other day i bought real vanilla extract at the supermarket. The REAL stuff, not the essence that i have always used and was raised with. I don't really know why, because there is no oven yet. I need to bake. I'm over the cupcakes in the little electric cupcake machine. I need to make cookies. Time to put on my MacGyver hat. I reckon you can make cookies on it too. Take that how you will! All in ...

Saturday, January 31, 2015. Oh how bright the capsicums look! Today I'm doing pasta sauce again. I say again despite the last time being four (or was it five? Years ago. It has been far too long! I'm following the recipe from www.greenlivingaustralia.com.au. Once all the veg is chopped and starting to boil it looks like this! I ran half the tomatoes through my food mill first this time in an effort to smooth out the sauce to meet with hubby's tastes. And there are the jars out and cooling. These are 600m...

Adventures in preserving: November 2013
http://adventuresinpreserving.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 16, 2013. A baking post. again. So I have been baking again today, and decided to document an experiment with muffins. The nature of coconut flour is that it absorbs moisture at a great rate. It is, after all, around 50% fibre. So lots of eggs are usually used. I wanted to play with some of the vegan egg replacement options instead. For today, I opted for the "flax egg", a teaspoon of ground flaxseed mixed with a tablespoon of water, per egg. Links to this post. A baking post. again.

Adventures in preserving: July 2010
http://adventuresinpreserving.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 11, 2010. I have a dehydrator now. I haven't used it yet - tomorrow is going to be the day. I have a day off work and although i'm planning an outing with my kids, given it's school holidays, I'm going to use the dehydrator. I bought it from a friend who found that it didn't suit her needs. And I confess - I bought it mostly for ONE thing - making roll-ups for the kids. Anyway, I have made rollups before in a borrowed dehydrator from a friend. So i already know what I'm doing. So I drain the...

Tuesday, November 9, 2010. Nettles, and things you can do with them. A while ago it was nettle season. Well, it was supposed to be nettle season. Fact of the matter is, the nettles I was hoping for, never grew. Instead, I begged a couple of bags of nettles from a friend. I can already hear you all asking why on earth I would want bags of nettles. And what bags of nettles have to do with preserving. I wanted nettles, because I wanted to try brewing nettle beer. It was at this point that I began to have my...

Adventures in preserving: I've been busy!
http://adventuresinpreserving.blogspot.com/2015/01/i-been-busy.html
Friday, January 16, 2015. Managed to do some more bottling! Its stone fruit season and although i have no producing trees of my own i have been gifted fruit from my lovely in laws and various neighbours. Apricots and nectarines followed some plums. I made jam with the first round of plums and have bottled the apricots and nectarines in water. I have another round b of plums to convert into jam and plum sauce over the next few days and after that, peaches will be ready! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
