Cooking at the farm

Down a the farm this weekend and having a lovely old time in the kitchen. The kitchen here is enormous (compared to the one at our little beach house anyway) and it soothes my cooking soul somehow to know that there is loads of bench space to measure, cut and store all the ingredients I need. Also, as the oven here is so huge, (comparatively) that everything I want to cook will fit in at once! Cooking is a breeze in the right conditions ;-)

Today I made the 'rhubarb slice' according to Donna's instructions. It worked out a treat - as usual - but actually is not my most favourite slice of all. There is just not enough rhubarb, and far too much sugar in each bite for me! Perhaps those of you who are not big fans of the rhubarb may actually enjoy this slice (I'll be interested in your comments here Christina).

I am also cooking another 'do over' tonight. Not because the first one was in any way a disaster, (although I did pour the beer in at the wrong moment last time) but more because it is just the weather and the audience to appreciate a slow cooked 'braised beef and mushroom' dish!

All good so far ;-)
