I have really enjoyed the last few days. I have been busy baking, making and gardening up a storm.
Today I came to realise how 'normal' these things are for us now.
On Friday I made a huge batch of
washing powder. As I was grating up the soap I watched "Harp in The South" on my laptop. This is a beautiful Australian story about a poor family living in Surrey Hills Sydney in the 1940s. As I was grating away I felt like Olivia Walton making butter on the front porch while Grandma knitted!
Friday night is
pizza night and we do it so often now that we can slap together a batch of beautiful half plain/ half wholemeal with the toppings that each person wants before you can even find the number of your local delivery boy!
On Saturday we made
fettuccine that was so damn yummy I had a dream about it and could have easily made some for breakfast on Sunday! Because we have our own eggs, this fresh and tasty pasta only cost us
27 cents to feed the four of us !!!
Sunday was of course the
Sunday roast and the weekly
apple pie to go with it.
I also managed to
plant some garlic, lettuce, onions and carrots.
Soon I will make another batch of
homemade soap and this time I would like to have a go at making a liquid hand soap.
I am loving this home made life.
