In the Garden: Picking cherry tomatoes, silverbeet and zucchini; planting cos lettuce seedlings:
and collecting worm wee for later use as an organic fertiliser:
Making: Wholemeal bread, yoghurt.Dinner: Wholemeal penne pasta with a silverbeet, garlic and tomato sauce, and garlic bread.
Greening up our Christmas: My mum, my sister and I have decided to split up the Christmas Day dinner between us, so I am in charge of the entrees/ nibblies, two salads, homemade ice cream and fruit. I have yet to decide on my final menu, but one of the entrees/ nibblies will probably be mini-pizzas: homemade pizza dough cut into small circles, topped with homegrown cherry tomatoes, homemade mozzarella and basil from the garden, and grilled for five minutes. I will be doing a practice run of these this weekend, stay tuned for a report!

Glad I'm not the only one with milk containers full of worm wee :)
Oh oh, I've been tagged again! Thanks ;-)
hi julie (kez), it's a good idea to give your worm juice a bit of air. Keeping the lid on tighly will kill the living microbes in it.
The garden is looking good, julie.
Thanks Rhonda, that makes perfect sense now that you've pointed it out, but it wouldn't have occured to me if you hadn't! Like most things, it's probably best to use it fresh I suppose. Cheers, Julie.
