Bread Dad has a recipe forSD in the Small Bread Machine. I’ll give it a go. Can’t imagine it will be very good.

After being house bound for 10 days, yesterday I went to the big shopping centre in Ballarat. I have only been there about 5 times and quite enjoyed it. I bought a couple of things I couldn’t buy anywhere else.
I bought a cheap book on recipes for the sausage roll machine. It has recipes for using different types of casings. Filo, sandwich bread and wraps as well as puff pastry. It also has tips such as always starting with a cold machine and start timing from when the green light comes on.

Chookie I like to read rubbish books every now and then. Sometimes your brain just needs to be completely entertained.
Agree.

It’s lovely and cool here, after that dreadful heat. Might make some pumpkin soup with the chicken stock that I made yesterday.
I’m making a small loaf of bread in my small bread machine, every day. I’m trying a different recipe each time. Perhaps a seed loaf with spices to have with pumpkin soup.

Marinated some chicken wings in a mixture of sweet chilli sauce and curry powder. Simple and tasty. 30 minutes in the Ninja BBQ. I lined it with paper liners that are made for AF baskets.

While I’ve been incapacitated I’ve been reading a book a day. Mostly rubbish. However I read, What Happened to Nina and The Glass Maker for Book club. Enjoyed both. I was impressed by both author’s different style of writing.

Marina, glad the power came on again. Many in Ballarat also lost power. I was ok.
Cleaning out spice drawer, I found some KFC spice that I had made. . I had a chicken thigh defrosting so made a slurry of spice with flour and water and coated the thigh. I shallow fried the thigh. Ate with slaw for lunch .

I pulled out what I thought were dead potatoe tops. Attached were small potatoes. I steamed them in TMX and then mashed them, skin still on. I then added egg , flour and milk SAnd P. Made mini waffles in my mini machine. They are soft when cooked but reheated in AF turn crisp. G S ate some with Maple Syrup and cream , I thought I’d try some with grilled tomato, prosciutto and egg.

I’m so pleased to hear from Marina and Katie this morning. I’ve always got beds available if needed.
I went to the Gym but the Physiologist was on holidays. His assistant was good in moderating my program. The best part was coffee afterwards.
Judy, glad to see you enjoying your 7. I’m sure I’m not using mine to capacity but the more I use it the more I learn.

Going out to the gym this morning. 5 minutes drive. First time out in 10 days. I want to talk to the Physiological about the pinched nerve in my neck. Going to be 40 here today.
Katie, stay safe.
Love to read what everyone is doing.
Judy, enjoy playing with your 7.
Marina, we had a similar arrangement at Invermay. It took ages for the big stuff to break down but was very worthwhile. Potatoes managed to grow among everything.

Made a Rye with Caraway seed small loaf in small bread machine. It’s taken me ages to make a perfect loaf in this small machine. Solution, wet dough and 4 hour setting. Must be accurate with measurements.
