Things of interest
This weekend we baked our apple! Very exciting. :-) We only got one apple from our two ballerina trees this year (first crop, and there was a bit of a difference in flowering so one of the trees didn't get pollinated at all) It was turned into eight tiny tarts based vaguely on the ones in this month's Delicious magazine - puff pastry brushed with egg, layer of apple, coated in butter and sugar. (see below)
Also spent some time poisoning the grass in the backyard - a nasty combination of couch runners going through everthing and massive tussocks. In order to pander to the cats, since their favourite nibbling area is now yucky, I bought them a container of Cat Grass (TM). I put it down in front of Ollie for a moment then had to take it away before there was none left - he's like a stripey ginger goat.
