For lunch we decided to make hummus, challah, and potato kinish. I started the challah early in the morning because it has many rises. I made my Nannie Tillies recipe, but made of a few changes. I added in some poppy seeds and did a 6 braid instead of a 3. Everything came out real good especially the hummus and challah. Everyone seemed to be impressed by the braid and the fluffiness of the bread, which made me feel good.
After lunch Miles showed us around the property and told us what would need to be taken care of when he and the family went away for the week. He showed us how to care for the sheep and chickens, and how to make sure the pipes don't freeze.
The day after they all left, wewent for a walk through the woods. We went off the trail for a while. Then we realized we didn't really know exactly where we were. We were looking for the trail but couldn't find it. We probably wouldn't have worried so much if the sun wasn't starting to set. I could tell which direction we needed to walk because of where the sun was. We walked real fast and after a while we ended up on an old overgrown road that took us to the path.
When we got back we had a nice tempeh and broccoli dinner. I didn't know that kale and broccoli could stay in the garden so long and take all this freezing. After dinner I made a sponge for the bread I would bake the next day. It ended up coming out really tasty but it didn't rise as much as I would like. I used the sourdough whole wheat recipe in Laurels Kitchen Bread Book.
We've both been getting pretty good at jenga.
I've been using the crock pot a bit to make soup. It's real convenient. Michelle and I have been eating really well.
