The Edwardians loved flowers and they took every opportunity to surround themselves with floral pleasures not only in the garden and the drawing room, but in every corner of the Edwardian house. Champagne and Primrose Jelly, Keeping Orchids, Lavender Bath Soaks and Turkish Delight

And then it snowed some more !!!

Winter Storm at the Cabin

I decided to spend another stormy night in the cabin. It certainly was a wild and stormy night but we didn't get as much snow as was forecast. I baked some buttermilk biscuits and had my dinner and breakfast in the cabin.

The recipe for the biscuits:



SACO Buttermilk Biscuits



4 Tbsp Buttermilk Powder

2 Cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp sugar

1/3 cup shortening

2/3 cups of water



Preheat oven to 450°F. Sift flour, Saco Cultured Buttermilk Blend, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in water; mix lightly with a fork, just until dry ingredients are moistened and dough holds together. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead lightly two or three times, then roll out with a floured rolling pin to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut in rounds with a floured biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.

Pruning Peppers - Black Radish & Goji - Chili sin carne

My Chilli peppers for the most part are ready for their first pruning and I have started some Round Black Spanish Radish and Goji Berries in the grow room. I'm also offering a few Goji seeds to anyone who would like some, while my supply lasts. I made a large pot of Vegetarian Chilli and showed you how I do it.

The difference a day can make

No sound track this is a silent video. Just a short time lapse video done with my iPad Mini and an app called iStopMotion. Over a two day period I made two time lapse clips and joined them together. The app was taking one frame ever 60 seconds from around 8 AM until 6 PM . The first day was grey and overcast with a snow squall in the middle of the day and  the second day was sunny and bright with clouds and chem trails racing across the sky.

Hoop House - Grow Room - Spätzle

At last we have had some mild weather and I've been able to get the door to the hoop house open so I'm in to check on the fig trees and to do some pruning on the grape vines. In the grow room the pepper plants are growing and I have several cucumbers that will be big enough to pick soon. To close off the video another cooking segment this time I decided to make Spätzle for lunch.

Tudor Monastery Farm Season 1 Full Episode 5

Published on Dec 27, 2013

Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Peter Ginn and Tom Pinfold explore hospitality in Tudor England. With no provision for the poor from the state, the monasteries played a key role in providing welfare and charity for those in need. But funding charity also meant extending hospitality to wealthy donors.

The monastery enlists the help of the team to restore a corrody room which would have been granted to an elderly worker as a form of pension. The room needs a new floor so the boys gather and roast limestone in order to make lime putty. Ruth is in charge of the home comforts and harvests rushes from the river to make a mattress.

The Abbot is planning a big feast to entertain a patron - a good way to encourage the wealthier members of society to make large donations. In preparation, Ruth sets about tackling the monastery's laundry, before taking on the cooking preparations.

Tom oversees the production of a book to give the patron as a gift. First he must learn how to make linen paper. He then experiences an exciting new technology - the printing press with moveable type - before embarking on the final stage of the process, book-binding.

Back on the farm the cows are short of food so Peter goes in search of tree hay - an ingenious form of fodder that pre-dates grass hay by millennia. The team reunites to bring in the pea harvest, their most successful crop yet.

The final preparations for the Abbot's feast are made, with Ruth lending a hand in the kitchen to produce some lavish dishes for the Abbot's table, while Peter distils wine into brandy. There's also a lesson in Tudor etiquette for Tom and Peter before the feast is served.

The team have to try and master the landscape away from the farm in order to help supplement their income. Tom and Peter mine their own lead using Tudor techniques whilst Ruth finds out more about the importance of this material by using lead in creating a stained glass window.
