Pumpkins for ever !

20/12/2024

HELLO!!! Its been a bit since l last posted ♥️

Imprint farms has been quite but the veggie patch has been ticking along and producing loads of the good stuff for our family.

20 plus kg’s of raspberries have made it into the kitchen- jams, cordial and a spiced raspberry apple jelly to have with cheese. Along with the Onions, garlic and zucchini, tomatoes are coming along and l wont win a prize for ripe toms before Christmas as the bloody 🦃 beat me to the hothouse ones that were nearly ripe !
At
Christmas cooking is full swing and Keith is waiting for Santa to arrive 🎄

Merry Christmas! ♥️

Today sitting with my many memories of my darling Nanna Goose, her 98th birthday today. Reading her gardening books and thinking of all the times we shared together in the garden weeding talking laughing harvesting or silence just being one...

Being sent to take the scraps to the chook house only to be attacked by the rooster! Her response was to whack it.... Rooster was whacked so hard into next week, he was made into soup 😝

Old mate Timmy Dog being a constant companion and guard dog of grandchildren, poultry and sheep but also a killer of ducklings and chickens. It was his way, Nanna would tell him off to scold him but still fo**le his ears at the end of the day.

Walking through the Cobboboonee and learning the names of the native orchids, trees and animals. I'd do anything for just one more walk listening to you.....

Birthdays were celebrated with sponge cakes filled with cream and love. Jam rolly pollys and card with a fiver note to spend.

Homemade meat pies and salads with purple flowers (Borage) and Apple crumble. shearing time, lamb marking and that red dressing gown held tight with a thin cord standing at the top gate calling SHEEP! And her ladies would come running up the hill.

Grey mares that kept your secrets as you plaited flowers in their manes. Cousins and laughter playing cards and roasting spuds in foil late at night for supper.

Fish and chips with glasses filled with fruiti lexia.... The memories just keep coming...

Happy birthday to the lady who knew my secrets but never told.. I love you and will always miss you till I'm forever old 💖😢

You would have loved the man Jack has become and made me a Nanna to Keith who loves the gardens and farm as much as l did with you xx

Winter isn’t the weather for ice-cream 🥶 the girls 🐓 have other ideas with at least a dozen eggs coming into the farm’s kitchen every other day and there is only so many poached eggs, cakes and quiche you can make in a week…. So ice cream it is !!

Vanilla ice cream with Oreo’s

Make an egg custard from the following ingredients

- keep an eye on your supermarket reduced section for organic milk & cream, l saved $40 and froze extra milk and cream for a later day-

12 egg yolks
600mls cream
1200mls full cream milk
Vanilla pods split in half or a good double sq**rt of queens vanilla paste
300gms sugar
Heaped teaspoon salt

I do have a Thermomix and make my custard in 12 min speed 3 90°

You can make it how ever you wish ona stove top or microwave. Just keep checking and whisking.

Once thickened the custard will be glossy and ready to bench cool and fridge overnight.

Into the ice cream machine to churn and become velvety smooth, you can just freeze as good quality ingredients with a higher fat content won’t go icy as would a lower fat milk and cream.

Add broken Oreo biscuits just as it’s setting so not to over break up the biscuits

Spoon out into a freezer proof dish and freeze 6 or so hours

Enjoy x

Winter veggie growing is my favourite time of year with loads of amazing cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage along side the slow growing broad beans, garlic and onions.

With all rain l have missed a few heads of broccoli that were tiny one week and bursting into flower a week later… oops ! Recovery will be the delicious sweet side shoot that l like to use in stir fry’s.

Large handfuls of nitrogen high granular fertiliser went out today as the high rainfall leaches the soils supplies and popping a few handfuls every 3 weeks over all the veggie patch has proven to keep the veggies high productivity on top.

I have a few projects on the go in the gardens and the cold wet days has had me choosing a day inside researching and dreaming of better days… it’s winter after all and lm feeling low and slow like the winters days.

Happy winter gardening and keep yourselves cosy and warm x

Growing up a farm kid life in winter is jumping in puddles, mud, freezing cold hands and gumboots filled with muddy water, loads of laughter and tired eyes 💙

Little hand pasties inspired by Produce@wannonandallthingssourdough photo she posted last night !

Easy mid week dinners or lunch box goodies for cold winters days.

Recipe was found at taste.com.au, my favourite go to for recipes using basic pantry staples for amazing recipes that pack flavour.

I’ve done the maths on purchasing local butcher The Uppercut Butchers grass feed beef mince, eggs from Providore Farm for the egg wash on the pastry, veggies, pastry and pantry staples each pastie just comes under 70 cents each.

Why would you could go a fancy restaurant with white table cloths and too many knives & forks to know what to do with when you can support your local butchers and eat THE best Wagyu 7+ scored steak cooked for 1 min 45 seconds per side at 500° in the OONI pizza oven on a caste iron skillet ! Melt in your mouth Goodness that has us speechles!!
