vaznettiIt has been very warm in England recently -- around 30 C which is the high 80s and hot for us -- so since coming back from Portugal we've mostly been eating salads and grilled chicken. But then I went to the farmer's market, and A got about three pounds of redcurrants from a colleague, and we had Spartacus' end-of-school picnic. So since Wednesday we have produced the following:
1. Cake brownies
2. Redcurrant ice cream (and we may try home-made ice cream again)
3. Crayfish salad sandwiches
4. Gooseberry cheesecake
5. Red(?) snapper with tomato and spinach
6. A lot of salad
And now I am going to embark on making ALL the redcurrant jelly. We still have strawberries, raspberries and cherries to eat, too.
I am also thinking about making sourdough starter this fall, and making sourdough bread on a regular basis; I really love it, and good sourdough is so expensive here. But my only breadbaking experience is with the occasional challah. What do you all think? Am I crazy? Is it worht a try?
