Family Recipe : Egg & Bacon Slice

Ingredients:

Stale bread : enough to cover base of dish

Grated cheese 3/4 cup

Bacon Rashers about 3

Eggs 6 to 8

Milk about 3 cups

Mayonnaise 2 Tablespoons

Worcestershire Sauce 1 Teaspoon

Mustard 2 teaspoons dried

Mixed herbs to taste or whatever's fresh

Shallots to taste

Capsicum green Capsicum red half of each

Variations on a theme are endless with this dish if you have stale bread and chooks are laying. Use whatever is growing or substitute, fetta, spinach, siverbeet, mushrooms, grated zuccini.

I always feel so virtuous when I make this dish as it costs so little to make. It's better when left till next day so it's a great dish for making you feel organised.

Cook the bacon & drain it. Then layer all dry ingredients in casserole dish starting with bread obviously. Start wet ingredients wiith the mayo, mustard and worcestershire blend well and add eggs one at a time so you don't get any glumpy bits, then add milk and herbs and pour over the bread mixture. Cover, refrigerate overnight. Preheat moderate oven and bake uncovered for 50 minutes to one hour until it puffs up.

Wet Chickens in Midwinter

Poor wet chooks. Winter solstice isn't supposed to be like this. But the chooks are shut in for this longest night.

Mud pies

Leeches 3 humans nil. Transplanted a wheelbarrow load of moses in the cradle but couldn't see any difference .Almost as bad as Microsoft upgrading me so I couldn't finish editing the blog . Cookies all gone = no Adsense.

Unwanted blog followers

Can't believe it - while I'm learning how to do this and merrily typing away some unpalatable person signs in to follow me, offering favours I had never imagined existed.

So now I have removed the followers gadget while I sort it out.
Plus Google says I am limited to 100 followere. Well that might sound inordinately ambitious from this viewpoint but I hate to think of all going through all this angst to be ultimately limited to 100 followers.

Frustration 101 . Ooohhmmm

Starting again

Blogging is driving me crazy

Oh dear - it said this was going to be simple! The template is driving me bananas, the gadgets don't do what I imagine they are going to do. And I haven't learnt to organise things the way I want them to look.

It's like that in the garden too - but there I know I am trying to fool mother nature into letting me fiddle around the edges of her great plan for turning my small plot back into a rampant sub tropical jungle. All I want is a small area free of leeches and ticks - enough to grow a few veggies and fruit trees without benefit of chemicals. With a body that doesn't always cooperate. I know that's going to be a big ask. So I'm happy to plod away.

On the plus side today I managed to rescue the eggs from the shed and shut it before a goanna could arrive. I shut the chook pen before the bush turkey could eat the chook food. I planted some seeds for perpetual spinach/silverbeet. My newly made free range worm farm in the gully had survived its first day and my normal worm farm seems happy.

Maybe soon I'll be able to organise my blog so that I can have lovely headings and lists.

Oh well I guess it's only day 2.
