What's up with the DVD player?

I wonder...

keepin' it real with all the cords...

 Maybe this little treasure in her brother's jammie top might be able to tell me...

hey, don't touch!

Blackberry pie

Blackberry picking time is January / February here. They are classed as a noxious weed and must be sprayed out. My hubs has gotten rid of all of ours that used to be here on our farm :(

One day I stopped on the way home from town after dropping the kids off and doing the shopping and picked this lovely lot which I took home and made into a super delicious pie!

Sweet shortcrust pastry for the top and bottom. An old recipe from a fabulous cook which never fails me. Step away if you're afraid of butter!

ready for the oven...

 All baked. With another loaf of crusty bread!

The reason I can't lose weight on a weekend...

I've been making Rhonda's bread...

(and the baking in the background doesn't help...)

I never used to have much luck with bread. I don't think I was kneading it enough... And I always used to sit it on the bench to rise. Too slow for me. Now I turn the oven on to 50degrees for a couple of minutes, then turn it off and put it in there to rise.

This recipe is super easy too.

Rhonda's fab tutorial for beginner's bread

I love the feel of the dough after the first knead. It feels like a baby's bottom to me!

I've made rolls from this dough too which turned out great.

Homemade Supreme Pizza

A lack of decent pizza restaurants and living out of town led us to make our own pizzas. This is our supreme version and we think it's pretty good!

steamin' hot!!
