Good Food... mostly!

Ella wanted to make gingerbread people by herself, so we left her to it. She did a great job even trying to decorate them! We all enjoyed nibbling on these although there was a strong bitter after taste. It wasn't until the next day, she realised that she left out the main ingredient - the ginger!!!











As for spoilt food, the gingerbreads weren't the only casualties. Despite trying to carefully and regularly check the nectarines, I managed to miss their prime. On realising that lots of the fruit was damaged due to insects, possums (who managed to get through the net) or being too ripe, I picked everything which ended up being quite a bit! Unable to eat the nectarines like they were, I cut the best bits off each one and stewed the fruit. It was delicious especially with yoghurt!






For the first time I've been successful in growing a crop of yummy cucumbers which the possums haven't discovered yet!
