Last Of The Baking

Today I was doing the last of the baking,

It was the turn of the sausage rolls,

I had a bag of minced pork in the freezer from our own pigs.

And a pack of frozen puff pastry

 The pork was mixed with onion, grated carrot and grated apple, a bit of fresh sage and thyme,

 half of them I sprinkled with poppy seeds.

I had half a bag of minced pork left, already defrosted

so it had to be used.

similar mixture to the sausage rolls but with the addition of some breadcrumbs and mustard I made up a batch of pork meatballs, cooked them up and are now in the freezer ready for a couple of meals. That's me done cooking this week, Martin will be home tonight for a few weeks, he is planning on rustling up a few meals.

Storm Barbara blew through today, one tree over and a window blown in on the shed, a little job for Martin tomorrow.

I hope everyone has managed to brave the storm.
