Soups / Re: Curried Pumpkin and Lentil Soup
« on: August 18, 2013, 09:29:48 am »
I made this today after going through CP63 list of fav recipes, and served it with the cheese and bacon rolls also on her fav list.  This soup was lovely as were the rolls. And went down a treat as today in Adelaide, Australia it is cold wet and windy.

If anyone sees these pots being offered at discount price please post on the shopping thread etc as they are really fantastic and well worth getting. Food tastes unbelievable and so easy to knock up a healthy meal. i have a large size and a medium size and I got my hands on a recipe book over the weekend that I'll be using. I also think that I can use another clay pot that I bought when we got the woodfire oven for these recipes. I'm sure the tandoori oven owners may even see some benefit to the book for ideas for dishes that are put in an oven and then left.  (but I'm not an expert in that area)
I have my mums romertopf, but don't really remember her cooking too many meals in it CP,  would love to give it a go where did you get your recipes from.

Yes I am setting up raised gardens to keep the blighters out,  costs a fortune, but hopefully we will get on top of them and end with some great vege's and meat in the freezer. :P

We have been over run by rabbits here at the farm, and rather than kill them off so they are wasted and of no use to anyone (eg baiting)  we  have started our own way of getting them in the freezer.  I used to love rabbit when my mum cooked it, so am now looking for different rabbit recipes.( I know they are cute animals, but when they start ringbarking and killing my young trees, and I am currently spending a fortune on wire netting to keep them off newly planted shrubs etc,  and they are digging holes all over the place, and breeding,  I'm sorry, but they have to go.) Will give this stew a go.

Baking, and getting out in the garden setting up raised growing beds for the up coming vegi growing season, with lots of cow manure etc, which means going around the paddock with the wheel barrow, picking up their droppings from all the expensive stuff we are feeding them at the moment, due to no feed out there in the paddocks re dry weather, and buying in feed costing so much, but I am loving it. I just love being up here in the new house, the new knee is doing really well and coping with my demands at the moment.

Isi's "very normal bread" (love it) and I'm  trying a recipe from Taste web site, Savoury Steak.  I used to work in a nursing home where the cook used to make this to die for ( :P) savoury steak that had Worcestershire sauce and onions in it, i found this recipe on taste that seems to have the same ingredients so thought I'd give it a go, and of course I am using my home made Worcestershire sauce from this site, which I made for the first time last week, very nice, i must say.  I was also going to make lemon panna cotta with raspberry and orange sauce, for dessert, trying to use up a whole bunch of frozen raspberries I have in the freezer but forgot to get the main ingredient the cream  :-)) so that's on the waiting list for one night during the week.

With regards to the olives, a Doctor at the Medical Centre where I work salts his olives, he brought some in one day for us to try and they were really nice.

Finally got to use this today, after having my lemons soaking in the vinegar for some months in the pantry (been busy with finishing the building and knee replacement)  It cleaned the tiles and glass in the toilet and showers really well. Still need to use a bit of elbow grease on the scum on the tiles, but no more than those toxic products, and all looks beautifully shiny and clean. Did get a bit of a headache from the eucalyptus oil, but I had used a 100% product purchased from the distillery on KI that I purchased on a trip sometime ago, so may have used a bit more than a "splash". Will keep on using this and now need to look at the natural washing soap powder and the dishwashing stuff also. Happy cleaning.  :-))

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.  Love my new kitchen and in this one Thermi sits in pride of place out on the bench and not in a cupboard. I can't wait for some wet weather to come so I can get out in the garden and get a vegi patch going, have so many ideas of things I would like to do, now I have some spare time that the house is finished.

fingers crossed Frozzie. Isn't it amazing in a country like ours you can have such diverse weather conditions. Floods up north, and basically drought down south ???

Maddy totally agree, we have been having some dreadfully hot days and nights here in Adelaide also, we badly need rain to bring some feed through for the cattle, and no one is selling hay as they are all concerned.  We didn't put in an aircon into the new house as we thought we would see how things went in the hot weather, well we certainly need one.  fans only just dont do the job in this constant heat. Thinking of doing a little rain dance tonight to get some of the Qld rain sent down here.  My son lives in Pt Campbell, Vic and he said it was even unusally hot there at this time of year.
