Up and running.

After being stalled due to headaches the previous week, last week I was up and running again.  What have I been doing?

Garden

 

 Digging out a curry plant and trimming a couple of others

It took some digging to get the roots out.  Another one to go on the left of the photo

Cooking

 a lentil/vegie loaf

 it was supposed to be burgers, but I made it into a loaf...it was easier...and baked in oven for 20 minutes

 

here's the recipe, but it is also HERE

 

I didn't have any chives, but added a dash of cumin, tumeric, curry powder, some chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds and lots of chopped parsley!

 

 

Knit/crochet

 

Taking a break from the knitted beanies...I made 12! 

 

Remember these squares I was knitting...

 I decided to undo them

And am now crocheting smaller squares for a throw...

these are about 4 1/2" (12cms), the squares were 11" (28cms) using 2 strands of yarn together

Preserve and eat

Made more tomato relish...with the tomatoes in the freezer from last season.

 

Made blackberry/strawberry jam with last seasons frozen produce.

 

Still eating tomatoes from the garden, and apples from my tree. 

 

I got 7 very large and lovely Golden Delicious apples from the tree.  Which is quite amazing as I had chopped it down to a stump because I was going to remove it...but it grew again...and produced these yummy apples.  So I guess it can stay :))

 

Lunch time...left-over lentil loaf...

 

After rain yesterday, we are enjoying a sunny (but cold wind) day.  Good for drying the sheets...

 

Be blessed!
