A windy day at home on the farm.

The weather is CRAZY outside today - a howling Norwester is blowing. Matt has the car and our phone isn't working so I am truly stranded. A friend came round for lunch though and so I spent the morning inside baking.

After the hot cross buns last weekend I thought I'd try some more bread baking and made myself my first white loaf...

From this:


...to a lovely warm loaf... served with a wild rice salad (containing pumpkin from my very own garden - a nice touch methinks).


And if that wasn't impressive enough for one morning's work, I russled up a ginger crunch slice for dessert.
