The answer to the What’s It Wednesday question from earlier: it’s a raw lightly scrambled egg that’s been frozen in an ice cube tray, as a way to store excess eggs from our chickens. They’ll be useful next winter, as laying slows. #WhatsItWednesday
A couple of days ago I made a loaf of bread using my usual no-knead recipe, but using whole wheat flour instead of bread flour, as an experiment. As expected, it turned out a bit differently; a little too much moisture content, and a bit more dense. 🍞
We have a bunch of potato flour, and lots of eggs, so we looked for recipes to use those. Not a lot of options, but one we found was Potato Flour Muffins. I tried making it yesterday, but the result wasn’t great.
Happy St Patrick’s Day! We enjoyed some homemade soda bread plus slow-cooker corned beef, carrots, and spuds. ☘️
Celebrating Pi day with some homemade chocolate pie.
The finished chocolate banana bread loaves.

The word for day 22 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “spectacle”. Watching Rory lick sour cream off a spoon is quite the spectacle, with slobber and sour cream going everywhere. #mbfeb
The main reason for our trip to Hood River was to attend the winemaker dinner at our favorite winery, Marchesi Vineyards, along with friends. Some very tasty food and wine, accompanied by words from the winemaker, and Italian arias. An excellent evening.
