My eldest is trying an experiment - she is drying a cob and is then hoping to make popcorn with it :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204291906401193716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-85859956599713819862011-03-14T13:34:19.214+02:002011-03-14T13:34:19.214+02:00Our grapevines need a good pruning this year as th...Our grapevines need a good pruning this year as they didn't produce any grapes last season.<br /><br />Your garden is looking healthy, and I am so jealous of your cooking, it looks so homely and delicious. I have bought my ingredients for bread making so I must get to it soon.<br /><br />Have a great day,<br /><br />TaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-51960916716112401092011-03-14T09:36:22.398+02:002011-03-14T09:36:22.398+02:00Hi Wendy,
Have you ever tried cooking your bread ...Hi Wendy,<br /><br />Have you ever tried cooking your bread dough in a pot on the stove or in a plastic bag, in water on the stove? It also saves on heating up the oven. <br /><br />Im also harvesting corn, beans, chillies, basil and green peppers now.Tuinmeisiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957597104583013913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-77825809149246596782011-03-13T16:28:17.583+02:002011-03-13T16:28:17.583+02:00I agree your garden looks wonderful.
I've t...I agree your garden looks wonderful. <br /><br />I've tried that "make bread ahead" thing and am not happy with freezing it. It's just not the same after being frozen, then thawed. I do multi-task with the oven, though, and prepare more than one item at once.<br /><br />Love that upside down cake! Now I have to go make one. ;)Lois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-74634177009901646852011-03-13T15:56:12.290+02:002011-03-13T15:56:12.290+02:00Your garden is looking lovely.

We have had 2 wonderful crops in a row and didn't make wine this year and we had so many grapes so we should have:) We have planted out three veggie beds this weekend.<br />Take care<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585956094647636047noreply@blogger.com
