Kind of a slow week news wise at The Acre. Starting off, we glassed a few dozen fresh eggs for storage.
We've been baking at least one loaf of fresh bread every week, but this week, Cupcake requested english muffins. And what Cupcake wants, Cupcake gets. A few years ago, we made them for a while, but it took over an hour to get them all cooked, because we could only do one or two at a time in a cast iron skillet. Since we've upgraded to the Blackstone, we've got a great big cast iron cook surface. Let the muffins roll.
Since we've been baking whole wheat bread, we decided to try whole wheat muffins. The recipe called for letting them rest in the fridge overnight before cooking. We followed the directions, and the dough turned out like sugar cookies. In appearance, anyway.
They turned out OK, but next time we're going to go straight to the cook top. They also made great hamburger buns.
And you can't have fresh made, toasted muffins without home made whipped butter.
We tell ourselves that our butter is healthier than store bought, so we use quite a bit of it.
On Sunday we took our first batch of marigolds that we started from seed, and ran them up to the family cemetery to spruce up the family stones.
We planted around the grandparents stone, and Aunt Clara and Louise's stone. It will look better when the flowers bloom.
We ended the week with a couple of naps.
