Paula's Bread: Glazes for Perfect Bread
Paula's Bread: Glazes for Perfect Bread: So what is a glaze? This can affect the finished look of your bread and the taste depending on the glaze you choose. I have the details...
I used Paula's Honey Glaze on our fruit Bread loaf and it was just the most perfect choice.
See how good it turned out. Shiny and sticky just the way we wanted it to be. I was lucky to find this awesome blog that is linked above by Paula. Here I was shown every glaze and every reason for using it and how to use it. Great blog.

Here we will offer you an experiment, which will help you to find out if there is a negative energy in your home or not!

Ingredients Needed:
– 2 tablespoons white vinegar
– 16 ounces filtered water
– 2 teaspoons granulated salt
Directions:
1) Add all the ingredients in a glass and mix them well
2) Keep the glass in a place you spend the majority of your time
3) The glass should stand there for 1 day
4) If the salt is rising it captures all of the negative energy in the room

PAD THAI
- INGREDIENTS
250g Rice Noodles
2 tspTamarind Paste
3 tbsp Fish Sauce
2 tsp Sugar
1 Garlic Clove
3 Spring Onions - 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 Egg
200g Cooked Prawns
75g Bean Sprouts - Lime Wedges
Peanuts
METHOD
Soak 250g of rice noodles in boiling water for 5-10 minutes until soft and drain well - Mix together 2tsp of tamarind paste, 3 tbsp of fish sauce and 2 tsp of sugar in a small bowl
- Peel and finely chop a garlic clove and trim the ends off 3 spring onions and cut into thin slices about 1 cm long.
- Heat a wok or large or a large frying pan and pour in 2 tbsp of vegetable oil when it's really hot
- Add the garlic and spring onions and stir-fry, keeping the veg moving for about 30 seconds, just until they begin to soften
- Push the vegetables to the side of the wok and crack the an egg into the centre. Keep stirring for 30 secs until it begins to set and resembles a broken-up omelette
- Add 200g of large cooked prawns and the 75g of beansprouts, followed by the noodles.
- Pour over the fish sauce mixture and heat it all through.
- Serve onto plates with lime wedges and sprinkle with a handful of chopped salted peanuts
The Pad Thai dish was developed during World War II when Thailand was faced with a shortage of food because of war and flooding. The Thai government promoted the use of rice noodles because they were cheap and available. It became Thailand's national dish because it's tasty, nutritious and popular. You can add other vegetables and chicken instead of seafood if that is all that you have available. Just be creative.

COMFREY OINTMENT
Homemade Comfrey Ointment Recipe
1 oz dried comfrey leaves (or 2 oz fresh leaves) finely chopped
10 oz olive oil
1 oz grated beeswax
Preparation
Add the Comfrey leaves to the olive oil in a pan and simmer, stirring constantly, for about 30 minutes. Pour the mixture into a cotton bag or square and gather up, then squeeze this mixture (wearing gloves because it is hot) into another pan.
Add the beeswax to this strained oil mixture and stir well over a low heat until it melts. Pour to a jar and place the lid on the jar without doing it up. When the Comfrey ointment mixture has cooled, tighten the lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
I have made this and I have used baking paper in the pan to protect the shallow frying pan and once strained into the muslin over another piece of baking paper I then used that baking paper as a funnel to pour the mixture into the clean glass jar to cool and store.
Brice had a niggling injury to his elbow and when I used a Comfrey poultice it inflamed his arm and it took some days for that inflammation to go, however it did help the Tennis Elbow and he had some relief from the pain .. It is an over stretching of the ligaments in his arm from picking up wood the way he did.
Then I had to make an ointment to use instead of applying the straight Comfrey leaves and I made this recipe.
You get the Beeswax from any honey person or health food shop. Grow the Comfrey because its the staple herb for the garden, chooks love it, compost loves it and of course it has these healing properties for Bone, Joint and Ligament injuries.
Use no more than ten (10) days in a row and for no longer than 4 to 6 weeks in any 12 month period. It is a strong mixture and should have done the job in that time.

SPRING ROLLS
Spring Rolls
500g minced pork
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 litre groundnut oil for frying
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons water
150g shredded cabbage
50g grated carrots
8 spring roll wrappers
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
Season pork with ginger and garlic and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium frying pan, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
In another large frying pan heat oil to about 190 degrees C or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
Lay out one spring roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about 4 to 5 tablespoons of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on spring roll wrapper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the centre and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the spring roll.
Place spring rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on kitchen roll or wire rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired
You've never tasted anything until you have tasted home made spring rolls.
My son's friends Filipino mother showed me how she makes hers and she uses half pork and half beef mince. Delicious!

Onesie Cake Tutorial: Easy Baby Shower Cake
Learn how to make a simple, beginner-friendly onesie cake for your next baby shower or gender reveal party. No special pans, no carving, no problem!
I hope I get to make this gorgeous fun cake for my daughters baby showers... until then I will practice by making these for friends baby showers.
A method for piping the icing if you don't have a proper icing piping bag is to use a fairly good quality sandwich bag and nip a tiny hole in the corner and twist up as a bag would and use this to pipe on your words and decoration to this or any cake.
A rectangle cake is always a great shaped cake to create a party cake from using shapes for in character cakes that will be remembered for years.
I recall making an insane soccer field on a slab sponge I ordered from the bakery because it was so large I could not bake one that size. I took the slab home and decorated this myself. It was a huge hit and it was so life like (and large enough for the entire team).

YOGHURT MAKING
Happy Yoghurt Making....
Link to SIMPLE SAVERS POST
Someone posted about runny skim yoghurt a few days ago, so I thought I'd show how I make thick nonfat, skim and full cream yoghurt from scratch for about $1.30/kg.
Use skim or full fat if you prefer. I've made 100's of kilos over the years. -
1 L of UHT milk (why? Fresh milk needs heating and cooling to activate proteins for yoghurt making. UHT is already heat treated and cheap) -
25g milk powder (equivalent to make 1 cup of milk) -
A few grains of frozen live culture (that's what's on the knife, other pix show packet)
Quick mix while cold and put in electric yoghurt maker for 12 - 24 hours.Images from Flickr
This makes Greek Yoghurt - You can sweeten it, add flavours, but fruit is best added after brewing. I make 3/4 of this recipe in a 200g Moconna jar.
I prefer to use glass as its non porous, easy to clean and conducts heat better than plastic.
Mild Yoghurt Culture - 100 litres

1 Cup Washing Soda
1/4 Cup Epsom Salt
Lemon Juice

1. First mix all the powders together making sure to mix up well.
2. Put 1 cup of the powder into a separate bowl
and pour in a little lemon juice.
For one cup of powder use approx 4 tablespoons of lemon juice.3. Mix all well. Using gloves on place hand fulls on ice cube trays
You don't want the mixture to be dry but neither do you the mixture soaking wet. Approximately 4 tablespoons made mixture wet and sticky and workable.The lemon juice foams on contact with the powders.
4. Pack down nicely [It is handy to have a supply of ice cube trays on hand]
5. Repeat process several times to use all of the mixture.
6. Set trays in a warm dry place overnight to set and turn out and bag.
I have never had a dishwasher but if I did I would definitely do this because. I helped my friend Kathy make these and it is her recipe. I loved adding this quirky recipe to the Family Recipe Book.

English: Mortar and pestle 中文: 研缽語研杵。 (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
KFC ORIGINAL SECRET CHICKEN RECIPE
12 Herbs and spices.
From Facebook Site: Becky Boo
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons oil
For the coating
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or chicken stock powder)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon chives
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Directions:
Sift flour and add together all the coating ingredients and grind finely with a mortar and pestle and place in a clean plastic bag. Coat each chicken piece first with the beaten egg, then with the flour mixture in the bag. Make sure you coat each piece completely with the flour.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the chicken in oil slowly, uncovered. Once browned, cover the skillet and keeping frying on a very gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Place on paper towels to drain out the excess oil.
