This month Jane (from Is That You Darling) set the photo an hour challenge on Saturday 16th August. There were several of us taking part on Instagram and Twitter; I'm not sure how everyone else's day panned out but mine involved rather a large amount of food!
9am - I woke up about 8.30am and by 9am we had sausage patties and tomatoes sizzling on the hotplate ready to make Sausage and Egg Muffins (very similar to the ones made by the firm with the golden arches).
10am - We headed out to do a couple of jobs in town; visiting the delivery office and the waste recycling depot on the way.
11am - I got stuck into some baking, ready for a picnic the next day.
12pm - First batch of things cooked - Sausage and Tomato Chutney Rolls :-)
1pm - The main bit of the picnic was a Sausage, Bacon and Egg pie which I made a start on next.
2pm - Whilst I was in the kitchen cooking, Andrew made the most of the sunny weather and finished off our homemade gate.
3pm - Voila! The pie didn't look half bad!
4pm - Next up, I started on the cakes. I made Apple and Blackberry Traybake and Chocolate and Raspberry Brownies with fruit foraged last autumn and frozen for about 10 months.
5pm - The apple and blackberry traybake started to look quite colourful!
6pm - After numerous hours slaving over the oven, I hung up my apron to have a quick wash before heading out for the evening.
7pm - Where we were off to was a pre-show BBQ in the vintage vehicle field at the Mid Somerset Show.
8pm - Dinner was served and my first course was a delicious hog roll.
9pm - A couple of our friends had a fire going so we all crowded round to keep warm and talk about nonsense.
10pm - Back at home and just chopping up the cakes ready to take out the next morning.
11pm - And just before bed, one book finished (Ghostwritten) and another one started!
Pop over to Jane's blog to see when September's photo an hour challenge will be!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI've just come across your lovely blog. I wanted to let you know that I'm coming to Somerset to give a talk at the Wells Food Festival about blogging and supper clubs, on Sunday 12th October - would be great if you can make it!

Ooh thanks for the info Rosie! Myself and a couple of friends went to Wells for the festival last year and we are planning on going again this year so I'll keep an eye out for your talk :-) xx
DeleteWow, you were not exagerating about the amount of food! Yummy! Looks like you've had a great Saturday!
ReplyDeleteYeah, there was rather a lot! It didn't look like much in the kitchen but it does look a lot on here :-) xx
DeleteIf you managed to resist "testing" a slice of that traybake when you got home at 10pm you're a much stronger woman than I am :p xxx
ReplyDeleteWe did! It remained untasted (well, apart from a few crumbs left on the tray) until about 1pm the next day :-) xxx
DeleteEek, I totally forgot this month, oops! Your baking looks fab though :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Josie! Plenty of other chances the rest of the year to take part :-) xx
DeleteStopping by via photo an hour. Oh my, all that food has made me feel quite hungry! Also I love your apron :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev! It was rather a food-filled day :-) xx
DeleteI remember all your food photos making me feel rather hungry while we were tramping around London!!
