I try the Forum every day. I never know if it’s me or the site, when I can’t get in.

Other than baking, I’ve been checking out Hotels in Auckland in NZ. DD has been nominated for an international award for services to Dentistry. I’m going with her. Flying out on a Friday, event on Saturday and flying home on Sunday. This one has money attached. Not to her but for any Dental program she might initiate. .

Chicken veggie soup and Apple and berry crumble. I added a bit of Quince jelly instead of sugar.

Very, very cold wet and windy. Good day for making bread. I’ve made a small yogurt and oat loaf and a magnificent SD very large loaf to my own recipes. I’ve also made Rhubarb and berry jam. The jam boiled over in the 7 and made one hell of a mess. The power went off when the loaf was 3/4 cooked. Went on again when I pushed the cook button.

Saw the Michael Jackson film today with Probus. Not my sort of music but enjoyed the film.

The strained pulp from the quinces will be turned into quince paste. Yesterday I made 10 jars of quince jelly.

Lovely Cookie. So much better than that bought rubbish.
On Friday I had my annual meal of KFC. I swear it gets worse each year.
Bought some fresh chestnuts as we came through Daylesford yesterday.

Don’t know what is going on. Many of our Probus group are ill or have had accidents. The very bright spot was yesterday when DD and GC and partners, and me , went to a small Australian creatures zoo. There were lots of young kids, probably preppies, there. They were so excited and got to handle small native creatures. DD is raising money for research and a breeding programme for the Pigmy Possums. We then went for lunch at nice Cafe at Macedon.
I’ve planted lots of veggie seedlings.

Well done Mab and Katie.
Tomorrow DD is taking me to a private Zoo to see some Pigmy Possums. Belated Mothers Day event. She is raising money for them.
Lots of people coming and going with Quinces and Figs. Many friends either ill or have had nasty accidents.
I’m finding AI is intruding into surprising places.
Cookie, thanks for all your effort with a difficult forum situation .
Mab, I’ve tried to send you a PM but it won’t send. Just a thank you for the lovely gift.

My neighbor has been giving me buckets of organic carrots. She works at a farm where they develop new varieties of veggies. They are not allowed to sell or donate the excess, but staff can take home. I distribute them and make lots of carrot based dishes. I made a cake to send back to the farm and carrot and lentil soup. Also healthy balls of carrot, nuts, dates and dried fruit. She also gave me some red and green chillies and capsicums. I’ve added roasted red capsicum to hummus and roasted 1/2 capsicum filled with cheese mushrooms and egg.
