I love my daughter to the moon and back 💚…but I’m so glad she’s back to school next week! 🤣 I am exhausted! 😴 we have crammed soooo much into the holidays, but my energy levels are now at zero and so is my bank balance 😆 Tom on the other hand escaped and trekked up Ben Nevis this weekend, fuelled by lots of last weeks flapjack! 😀
I am still down to just one prep day this week, but back to ‘normal’ next week 😁 So what’s on the menu this week? Whatever I can pull off! 😆 Croissants will be on Friday, almond croissants Saturday, and the toffee apple monkey bread probably Friday! Sausage rolls will only be on Saturday this week, unless I manage to get all my puff pastry made tomorrow 😬 Lucy’s delicious Carrot cake muffins will be on the counter too 😉 Few seasonal fruit surprises (depending how I get on!). Big thanks to my lovely customers who drop me in their surplus fruit! Can’t wait to share you some of the ideas I’ve come up with!
On another note ALL the bread is now organic (the bloomers weren’t previously), and I’m slowly moving over to organic plain and self raising flour for all my other bakes. I’ve also bought some different flours from Shipton Mill to have a play around with, as I will be updating the menu for Autumn/Winter. More details on all that soon 😉 This weeks special sourdough is the jalapeño and cheddar (Friday and Saturday). There is sourdough on tomorrow too (I’d previously said I wouldn’t do it on a Thursday, but have got myself a little routine now), but mainly the house white. Tinned loaves haven’t been big sellers recently with the weather, but if you want anything specific, let me know the day before and I can make wholemeal, Multiseed, chia, etc 😉 Right I’ll stop blathering on, and see you soon! 😀 Enjoy the song, it’s one of the wildlings faves 😆
