Noisy night tonight – people on two sides of us are letting off fireworks. Kids are loving it; animals are not.
Done some experimental cookery today. Firstly made a vegan version of penguin biscuits by dipping bourbons in melted chocolate – very good though will not put such a thick layer of chocolate on them next time (who would have thought ‘less-is-more’ could ever apply to chocolate???) . The children decided to design some wrappers for them, Charlotte going with colourful penguins and Daniel has given us the Death Star and a Sun (he’s been reading up on various sci-fi languages like Clingon and Star Wars based ones so is on a Star Wars thing). Then we made our own seitan for the first time. Used a mixture of two recipes, one given me by Catriona and one from this book which I was sent for review. Was a very interesting process, explaining to the children about gluten and watching it cook. Charlotte commented how it looked like brains and what a shame we hadn’t made it for Halloween! Hopefully it will taste better than it looks at present.
Below: a yew avenue from today’s walk, the scary seitan sitting in it’s broth (actually tastes lovely and lemony) and the biccies.
