Stewed Apples, Produce From the Mountains.




Our annual trip to the mountains with local mums.  Thankyou husbands!

I bought a large bag of apples and used an apple slinky machine (thankyou Aunty L.) to get them peeled quickly.  Then cinnamon and cloves (thankyou Mrs N) and into the pressure cooker for 12 minutes wiht some water.  After they were done, I mashed them and have put them into containers into the freezer.

Hanging About.






As I sat enjoying a cup of tea; I noticed that we have lots of 'bags' hanging about...
We use them as storage.

The top bag is 9 year old daughter's piano bag...
The next one holds my reading matter, William Morris design..
Then the bag from the Turner exhibition has recipes I would like to try... the purple bag holds 15 year old son's information regarding his forthcoming trip to Asia...
The Wooden 'bag' holds yarn and a crochet hook (will have to revisit this this Winter) and finally the hessian bag on the back of the front door holds books for church or church small group gatherings.
There is a bag hanging down on to the ground in that photo, it holds slippers for visitors!
