Hannah Writes A Recipe Book

For mothers day this year, Hannah made me a recipe book. She wrote the book, and ‘created’ the recipes herself (The recipe book, and a bath bomb were the high points of mothers day, but that is a whole another post).

Since then Hannah has been desperate to have a go at making some of her recipes (so proud – I have totally rubbed off on her). So this month I included a recipe in the meal plan, and on Friday  night we had sausages and Potato Jungle for dinner.

Dinner took a bit longer than we planned, but Hannah loved it. She was so proud of her efforts – and so was I!

If you want the recipe to potato jungle, I’m sorry but it is a closely guarded family secret. Alternatively, you could look at the picture and work it out for yourself!

      I will get Hannah to email them to you! They are all quite 'constructionist' in their design – think sandwich face etc

    Very very cute. I think I could manage potato jungle. Did she come up with that herself? A very early masterchef invention test!

    That's so cute! I wrote myself a recipe book, filled with my faves, when I was about 18. I still have it in the kitchen cupboard. I don't use it anymore but just can't throw it out!

    Oh Jo. How clever is she? When I first read it I thought she was saying "patatas" the Spanish word for potato and I thought "wow, she's so clever – international cuisine already!" LOL Bet it tasted just divine too.

Team work makes the dream work. We were asked rec Team work makes the dream work. 
We were asked recently whether we “make” our kids work on the farm. The answer is “of course not”. Having said that, all three love to help out whenever they can. They all work hard because they want to; because they take pride in working hard and contributing in a meaningful way to our family life; because they love living on our farm and don’t remember life before we moved here. Whether it be planting trees or doing sheep work or feeding animals, they all want to be involved. As a parent, nothing is better than watching them grow in skill and confidence as they work along side you. We’re so glad that we get to spend time with our three, working together.
We’ve had an unexpected addition to the family ☘️🐑. She is a lot easier to look after than the other family members but she does try to escape her yard and head butt people. Poddy lambs are super cute but they tend to think they are a human. Clover the lamb is sure that Meg is her mum. Can’t think why… 🤔🤣

We got through shearing without a hitch (thankfully 🙏) but we’ve had a run of the flu followed by Covid run through the family since then. The kids and I have tested positive (this is my second time getting it 🦠) though so far C has managed to avoid it. There has been a lot of lying on the couch feeling pretty ordinary. Han had to reschedule her driving test for a 4th time due to Covid, which is disappointing for her because she wants her freedom and for us because it would be so much more convenient if she could drive herself places. Just to add in to the mix, our hot water system has chosen now as a good time to die so we’re on cold showers until we’re all out of iso. This is not meant to be a whinging post but sometimes life just sucks a bit and it’s good to be real. Fortunately, the sight of the fire going with a stack of wood next to it cheers us up. Things will improve soon. Onwards we go…

We’ve been busy spending time with friends and family, harvesting the last of the summer produce, as well as a short escape to explore the big smoke. After the craziness of last term it was the break we all needed. It’s back to school for me tomorrow, and the kids are back on Wednesday. Shearing starts soon and so it’s all systems go over the next few weeks.
