I'm really looking forward to the end of summer so I can get back into baking and doing housework without sweating or needing to sit down afterwards. Boy oh boy, has this been a hot summer.

I'm going to make some of those mint choc chip yoghurt pops, Rhonda. The recipe looks great and we'll be in need of ice-cream this coming heatwave weekend. Thanks for sharing great links! Meg:)
ReplyDeleteOh, to visit Italy to see that pasta being made. Its now on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the heat. I heard on the radio this afternoon that the temps in Hervey Bay are 13 degrees above average. I baked today and the house is so HOT!!!!! We needed bread and whilst the oven was going I made an apple cake to use up the sad looking apples in the fruit bowl. So looking forward to it being cooler.
ReplyDeleteGosh Rhonda, I think you have been having Tasmania`s share of summer. We had highland snow in the week before Christmas and snow is again forecast for the southeast this weekend. Our summer has been cool- 18-24 degrees with a cool wind blowing. It`s hard to get the tomatoes to ripen!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, are you feeding Grace on your homemade food?
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the tips. Even though I am in US I do live in the desert southwest and the hen link is super!
ReplyDeletelove your flour jar! beautiful glass! cute cup too

thanx for sharing

Thank you for the reading list, great, as usual. I make your no knead bread all the time, lately found that you can cook it in a slow cooker, good for hot days when you don't want your oven on. We've had a cold summer here in Albany,WA, over the last couple of days it's been raining like blazes, luckily the farmers have their crops in.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could cook it in the slow cooker. Thanks for that.
Delete(((Hugs))) Rhonda, I really appreciate your sharing my postcard project! I thought I would add a tip I do for my chickies in the heat of the desert. I freeze the rinds to watermelon and melon. I deliver midday "treats" to my henny penny's as I am a mother hen for all our farm critters! Thank you so much, Jennifer in New Mexico USA
ReplyDeleteThanks for the watermelon tip. I'm sure the chooks would love that.
DeleteThanks for the link about keeping chickens cool in a heatwave, I've passed it on to my daughter, she lost one of her hens yesterday due to the heatwave in nsw. Like you I'm looking forward to summer ending.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely cup in the flour!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, it's a small Minton blue delft tea cup. I bought it in a box of junk at an antiques auction about 20 years ago. I like using everything I have, including the special things, so it's doing a stint of duty in the flour jar at the moment.
DeleteI am in the United States - as I read you today - I am in warm slippers, blanket over my legs, hot coffee next to me - and watching a big snowstorm out my window! Hope you get some relief from the heat soon.
