Vegetable Sales

Last Saturday Katie & I decided to get the most out of our excess garden produce, so we picked loads of lettuce, plus some courgettes, squash and cucumbers from the garden, and then took it with the kids to sell to our neighbors. It was great, Leah liked holding up a bag of mixed lettuce and proclaiming that it was 50p (even if they had just said that they had just been shopping, and didn't need any). We didn't get rid of everything, but still sold over £5 worth of stuff.
Infact this morning we had a knock on the door from a neighbor asking if we had any more! (Which we did)

In addition to selling stuff we have been eating all that plus potatoes and runner beans. I can wait for the corn on the cob to be ready.

Mucho Munching of Meringues

This evening Katie & Amber went to the Stake Swimming Gala and I stayed at home with Leah & Jenna (Who is not very well - she has both Laryngitis & Conjunctivitis).
After I had got Jenna off to sleep, Leah & I decided to do some 'cooking'.
I searched the Internet for a recipe and found a recipe I used to make when I was a child - Microwave Meringues.

Leah was a very good mixer - because the mixture gets very stiff.
We had to tinker with the timings because the first batch went flat (undercooked) and the second batch got a bit burnt. We perfected them and then added some pink food coloring to the final batch.
