Lavender Lemon Cake
Bobby Blanc moved into his new quarters yesterday. Now he sleeps in the barn sun-room and has access to the corridor paddock. He literally trotted around and around thrilled to bits to be out and about. Kicking up his heels and holding his head… Continue Reading “Lavender Lemon Cake”
The Perfect Pig Bath and dark chocolatey Brownies
You will remember that the Pigs had their paddling pool confiscated because they mistook it for a toilet.

How (not) to make Sweet and Sourdough Raisin Rye bread.
This morning we woke up to freezing rain and sleet and some dripping pathetic excuse for snow on the ground. When I say freezing rain I mean frozen raindrops.
