hippity hop





its easter time!! woohoo!!!!
bacon update day 4 (don't panic if you think you missed day 3, you didn't, nothing happened): hardly any liquid coming out. Definite firming. Colour deepening. My concern is that we are scampering off to go camping straight after school tomorrow and really the bacon needs another day of care to be ready. I'm going to call it early, take half with us and leave the other half doing its thing. Slightly nervous, but i haven't many options. Could freeze it but that may hinder flavour development. Am I really cut out for the stresses of this industry? Doubts creeping in. Must stay focussed.
On more positive note here is a (photo) gift from our kitchen. My latest batch of hot cross buns, just in time for your (vicarious) easter feasting!
Also included here is one of our rather large easter bunny-looking neighbours, and a snap of Jo and I at the southern tip of the Andes, from early January.
long weekend!!!!!!!!
