Baking Day

Well the rain finally beat me down , the storm raged overhead all night not so bad when your in a house but we are still living in our mobile home  it was rockin and not in a good way , the rain pounding on the roof and very cold , followed by more the following day , so unable to get outside and do anything constructive without falling over or getting blown away i resigned myself to spending the day indoors , much to the horror of the other half who had just finished cleaning and clearing i reappeared after letting out all the birds to declare i was spending the day cooking , so with plenty of goose and duck eggs i got started .

 Goose egg and bacon quiche



 Egg shells baked for hens



                                                                                                                               
         
Lemon curd                                                                    



Nets the lemons came in
filled and hung up wild birds

     Lemon meringue pie minus meringue i forgot to take picture before it got eaten ,but it was rather lovely!  I had a great day baking it was lovely to have a chance to use our eggs ,we have sold out everyday but the girls are laying more now so there were a few spare and the colour of the yolks was just stunning . A very happy satisfying baking day and i washed and cleared up afterwards !
