Evening Primrose Harvest. We are in the middle of harvesting the flowers from the Evening Primrose crop in the garden. This is because we know it has many uses including as a help for aches and pains. So we are trying a method of making an oil that we can use to rub sore shoulders and feet with. There are other uses that we have planned and will write a blog especially about this.
Geeky Cookery – Lon Lon Milk. MasterKAF has chosen to cook and make some of the recipes from the Geeky Chef Cookbook and today he chose Lon Lon Milk.
We are lucky enough to have our own apple tree, so could make applesauce from scratch. MasterKAF helped to peel the apples and did a fab job of reading the instructions to MrsDTB.
We then made our own caramel sauce from sugar, water, butter and cream an blended this and the applesauce with vanilla yoghurt and milk.
The result was so good that we had to label our own jars just to keep them safe!
Later we learned about Mesquite when reading through the rest of Geeky Cookery book. Even Mrs DTB learned something new today as she had never heard of this leguminous plant.
Tomorrow we are heading into garden as we have cleaned the old greenhouse ready for planting winter veg.
