Title: Just a quick Hello
Post by: segie on May 15, 2010, 06:19:20 pm: Hi a newbie here living in Somerset, we have been growing our own veg over the last few years and now making our own bread, ok in a bread maker! But we still know what’s in it!

We have just brought a sausage maker and mincer and are making our own burgers so it looks like we are in for a fun summer so I will be looking on the recipes page for lots of inspiration and ideas to do in the kitchen.

What could be better ...at least you really know where your food comes from... and I like this idea lots ....

I love my breadmaker! definately one gadget I couldtn' go without, even the children like the bread it makes.

would be interested in hearing how easy you find the sausage maker as that's something else I'd be tempted to buy :)

We have some Zwartbles Sheep at work whom are lovely sheep and 14 lambs this year they are all pets but we are not silly! And they are out with the horse which I am much more at home with since I have been with horses for over 30 years !
