3 First's :)

My first 'First' this week is my Bread & Butter Pudding, an old English pudding. I actually made it mostly by myself, nanny did the buttering so 1/4 credit for her!:)


Nanny and grandad thought it was nice. 1/4 credit goes to nanny for buttering the bread.

Here is the recipe and method: :)

*100g sugar.

*1 tsp cinnamon.

*As much bread (cut into triangles) that will fit in a baking... tub? (what do you call that?)

*Butter.

*3 handful's of sultanas. (dried fruit, we had a mix of raisins, sultana, dried orange and lemon peel). Unless your the hulk then 1 will do.

*500ml milk (yes that much).

*2 eggs.



Method: :3

1.Preheat to 190 C (or gas mark 5). Grease the baking thing lightly.

2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon. Then add the dried fruit. Mix.

3.Butter the bread and then layer it, cut into triangles AFTER you butter it. Silly.

4. After each layer sprinkle over the sultanas (dried fruit) and sugar mix. just to make sure every slice is covered.

5.Mix the eggs and milk together and whisk.

6. Pour over the bread and leave to soak for 10 mins.

7.Bake for about 40 mins or until lightly brown.

8. Enjoy! :3


Oky Doky, next thing is just that I tried sushi for the first time.... the veggi ones. It was pretty nice but I am yet to try to fishy ones.... and that's it.

Righty-o, last one. I made a crust for my Nanny's stew... I hate the stew but this time its classed as a hot-pot. It was easy really, but I thought it would fail, cuz it just looked like dough but it turned out really well, yet I somehow forgot to glaze it with a beaten egg -_-

Seahorses could be extinct in 30 years: Trade in dried wildlife souvenirs could see the marine creatures wiped out!!! HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS!!!  © The Seahorse Trust Seahorses could be wiped out within 30 years by the illegal sale of dead wildlife as curiosities, according to a conservation charity.   The Seahorse Trust are trying to achieve a new target to stop the sale of dried marine animals as holiday keepsakes. Please see what you can do to help to Stop The Curio Trade Campaign Many families would have been to seaside resorts across Britain during the summer holidays, and may have seen all the seahorses and other creatures up for sale. The trust are warning people not to buy the mementos and instead report shops that sell them to the charity. Creatures such as innocent seahorses, starfish, pipefish and corals are found in tourist shops in coastal towns across the UK.

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
