Bread Creatures


What chilly (brrr), cold and windy days we have had up here in the mountains. We had a tiny bit of snow but nothing that stayed - it melted on contact. My children are hoping for a big dumping of snow to make a snowman. It used to snow like that here years ago.

With the fire going, we cooked home made pizzas, banana cakes and bread. The fire has warmed our home, cooked food to fill little bellies and dried the endless loads of washing.


We made creatures out of our bread. Playdough that you can eat..;)


The kids made a spaceship, a monster and a snail.


Bread creations before they were cooked.

The cooked masterpieces for afternoon tea.

Ha, could send you a bit of our heat we're having at the moment ...
Although the fire in the background looks wonderful !
Mmmmmmmm eating your creations ....
Used to make things (not for eating !) out of salty dough : create, bake, paint and varnish !
(3 cups of flour, 1 salt, 1 to 1 1/2 water .... for christmas decorations and things like that ...)

These look great Anne, I am so glad that you guys are having such a good and productive time with your fire.....Love all the creatures the kids made and getting the clothes dried as well is always a bonus......

What fun! Today would have been disappointing if you were waiting for snow! It was a balmy 20*C here on the lowlands!

Hi there, I just found your gorgeous blog while researching Nectre bakers ovens... we intend to install one this Winter and wondered if you had any thoughts now you have used yours a bit. I have read that they dont burn over night, have you found this at all? thanks :)
