Day 154 moustache

PeaGreenGwin made some home made soup today. Even youngest who has started eating food was able to eat it. It was a lovely pea and mint soup with ham. Youngest had just pea and mint soup and when she was done was sporting a very lovely green moustache...

Day 37: Winter Warmers

Ahhh there's nothing better than a nice hot meal when it's cold and snowy outside. Even more satisfying is when it's homemade, the OH has made spicy carrot soup while we both have made homemade bread, something I haven't done since I was in school. Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

First we started with the mixture, my OH placed all the ingredients in the bowl as I did the hard and very important job of reading out the instructions....

Once this mixture was done it was time to ball it up and get ready for the next stage.....

Next we needed to Knead the bread, for 10 minutes, but it took us more like 15 minutes.....

Then once it had set for 45 minutes and then cooked for 15 minutes, the bread as ready to serve nice a hot with the lovely piping hot Carrot soup....

The soup as delicious and the bread wasn't bad for a first effort, next time we must measure properly the Yeast however.....
