For some reason that song is stuck in my head today. Not sure why but maybe it's what I'm trying to achieve and trying to maintain my sanity. I've had this great idea that I wanted to try to make pita bread from scratch. Yep you just read that right, so I currently have 8 pitas sitting in the garage in a vain attempt to get them to rise, ah well worst case I have some store bought ones just in case. Oh I've also made a pound cake (which I'm not happy with it didn't really rise properly I may have over mixed it) and I'm also attempting some snickerdoodles. Did I mention mad?! The pound cake and snickerdoodles are for tomorrows affair while the rest of the stuff is for dinner tonight. You know tho if this does work out I'm so doing this again.
I also have to say one of my great moments was going out into the garden and getting mint from my 'herb' patch and harvesting it from there. So far I've not killed the basil, oregano and rosemary that I planted a couple of weeks ago, and the mint has been established in there since April. I also appear to be getting tomato flowers on both of the heirlooms and from the new one in the new spot so we shall see if any fruit actually grow. Not sure to be honest that any of them have enough sun but if at first right?
I'm still bummed I cannot get thyme yet to take, that the one herb I used on a regular basis that I just need a small amount of. Right now I just have a shriveled dead plant.../sigh, I'm thinking I might need to wait on it until we can take down the boards and let in a bit more sunlight, although I did plant it in a spot which has a fair amount so I'm really still at a loss as to why it won't take. But as they say if at first try again, and so I plan on it, even if I have to resort to growing it in a pot in a different spot entirely I will not give up darn it!
Oh and I am not a baker! So if this stuff really doesn't work at all it's not my fault I'll just stick with cooking and keep dabbling with the baking for the girls sake.
