Took many many a photo

Hopped across the rocks at Gardener Falls

And drove home beside a lovely sunset

Yay after lots and lots of saving I got my early Christmas/Birthday present from my lovely husband. Now trying to figure out how to use it, here are the few that I like so far...

65 days

65 days till we fly out to Ireland...

65 days till I get to see this bunch of crazy people that I dearly love and miss so much!

Just 65 days...

So I went for a job interview today and it went pretty well I think. The guys were nice, we got along well...and then I fell down the stairs. Pretty embarrassing! Note to self- boots and walking down stairs without watching don't go too well. Now my ankle hurts- hopefully I get the job so it will be worth it!

Irish Soda Bread

I was in the mood to bake something today, and seeming my family will be flying into Ireland at some stage today I thought I'd make some Irish soda bread. Its yummy, easy and pretty healthy too :) Much easier than yeast breads as there is no kneading involved and no waiting around to let it rise.

You'll need:
500ml buttermilk or sour milk
750g plain flour (I use a mix of normal and wholemeal)
50g Oats
1tsp salt
1tsp bicarb soda

You need to preheat the oven to 220 degrees, and then put all the dry ingredients into a bowl

Add in the milk and mix with a spoon till it combines to form a dough

At this stage you can add more milk or flour depending on what it looks like

When you're happy with the consistency, turn it out onto a floured bench. Pat it into a round shape and cut a cross in the top. Pop into the oven and turn the oven down to 180 degrees. Should take between half an hour and 45 mins.
