Handy hints - feel free to reply with your own hints

I’m trying to get a feed set up to post handy hints on. The wonderful Neighbourly team as flat out at the moment and suggested I post here.

So here’s a couple.

Baking powder mix:
2 tbsp baking soda
2 tbsp cornflour
4 tbsp cream of tartar

It’s better (and cheaper) than the bought stuff. Use it the same as commercial baking powder.

Ciabatta
500g plain flour (about 3 1/2 Cups)
1/2 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp dry yeast (check the back of your fridge for a forgotten jar. It lasts forever there)
1 1/2 tsp salt
450 ml warm water (tap is fine)
Olive oil

Mix your dry ingredients together (preferably in a bowl)

Mix in the water (don’t worry about being gentle)
Rub oil all over, around and under the dough with your hands (think wet play dough)

Cover the bowl with glad wrap or a tea towel and leave to double in size (takes about as long as a movie, so go watch one)

Preheat the oven to 200C

Pour the sticky mess into an oiled and floured tray (a big one), or into an oiled and floured loaf tin (or whatever oven proof dish you like.

Just remember, the wiser it is, the flatter it will be, the less time it will take to cook.

Cook for 30-40 minutes. If you want a softer crust, put a dish of warm water in the oven to steam the dough. I like it crusty.

To check if it’s ready, lift if out of the dish (don’t use your hands, unless they’re made of asbestos), knock on the bottom, and listen for a “hello possums!” (or a hollow sound).

Enjoy. It will go a little dry if kept out, but it toasts like crumpets. Yum yum.

Welcome the Day

Marie from Flaxmere

Welcome Your Day

I go to bed thinking of what to do the next day,
A constant thought that keeps me at bay.
Rises the sun and reminds me of my duty,
For the day ahead I fail to see the beauty.
Life will be so much more wonderful,
If you are not so distressful.
Have a Good Morning 🌞🌞🌞🌞

Game Time

Marie from Flaxmere

If money was no object, which house
would you pick to completely redo and make your dream home???
I have always been so intrigued by old abandoned houses. Out in a field all sad looking, abandoned and forgotten. I wish I could go bring them all back to life and
make them pretty again. ❤

Neanderthal with a gun needs to be reported

Meg from Poukawa

So walking on the farm we walk into a deer carcass with it's head chopped off !! Who do we report flagrant water pollution to? This is the Tuki Tuki River - a brainless idiot has shot and killed the animal and and left the carcass to rot in the river! Do we contact police? HB Regional Council?… View moreSo walking on the farm we walk into a deer carcass with it's head chopped off !! Who do we report flagrant water pollution to? This is the Tuki Tuki River - a brainless idiot has shot and killed the animal and and left the carcass to rot in the river! Do we contact police? HB Regional Council? Who do we report this horrific sight to? Worse - we had a couple of German tourists with us (in our bubble on the farm) who were mortified thinking it was normal farming behaviour. Take it from me - the farmers around here are ropable about this! I have not been allowed to post the photos because they are simply horrific...you can only imagine what it was like to see it.

Rotorua police 🚨 did a fine job of setting up road blocks out of the township but many were still using side roads to escape. Also noticed that here in hastings too.... People don't realise that the ones who are staying home to save lives are the ones looking out our windows watching and seeing people do these things.... Not to be nosy but because there isnt much else to do!!! We are all going to suffer cause some prick wants to self isolate in their holiday home. Shame on you!
