A quiet weekend was the order of play this time around. Saturday starting late and Sunday following this same pattern. Having seen a very good recipe for Apple Pie on the BBC Hairy Bakers series, Paul decided (with my encouragement) to give it a go. Much shrieking took place during the making of the pastry. Determined not to have a soggy bottom (Hairy Bakers words!), you have to bake the crust first. As you can see to the left, the pastry took a little working thru. Eventually though, I have to say, a perfect and very nice tasting pie came out the oven. The only problem being, it is huge for just the two of us. However never wanting to waste anything I am sure we will work our way through it over the next few days.
The usual routine has me returning to London today and as I left the house, the two babies didn’t look too stressed that I was heading off, not to return for a few days. I am sure they do miss me, but they don’t like to show it, in case I fret!
