mrsbrownI just watched a marathon 3 episodes of "Gourmet Farmer" Now to get out there and do the trendy foody thing - inner city style.
I'll go to the local market and I hope to buy tomatoes and strawberries. We've discovered that dried strawberries taste amazing when cooked in porridge. Except that means the box of strawberries I processed in January (that filled half a preserving jar) are rapidly dwindling. Based on our recent consumption, I'll need to process at least 4 boxes of strawberries. Even better, Rose is still suspicious of dried srrawberries and refuses to eat them - more for us!
One of the major contributors to the waste that goes out of our house is tins of tomatoes. If I make salsa it will taste better AND reduce our waste output.
Its interesting to notice that our waste has reduced to the point that we can identify the big items. Making an effort about each of them in turn is sort of fun.
Other minor tasks for my weekend include;
Sanding the plaster in sjkasabi's laundry and doing the next coat.
Doing some more woodwork for the kitchen building
Working out if a single skin brick wall is sufficient for the fireplace and wall structure of the kitchen. (that's why I've been putting off the bricklaying)
Working out if we need to build the pastry oven at the same time as the wall of the kitchen.
Maybe going to the Werribee Zoo to see splodgenoodles and listen to mr-bassman play.
