2016 was a year of self discovery and let me tell you I discovered I have patience, oh my, do I have patience. I learnt I am a great teacher and do inspire people...I am a leader, not a follower....and I can be stubborn. I have moments of self doubt and I have moments of pure genius. You can cry because you are happy...and of course you can be blinded by sadness and not shed a tear. When someone leaves this earth, they are never really gone. They become those quiet moments in the garden which makes you smile and laughing in the sunshine with all the beautiful memories you carry in your heart. I learnt to never give up...belief is half the battle. Never get too busy so you can't stop and breathe, life is not a race. Life is a journey...and it can be filled with amazing people which can enhance your life. 2016 my life was filled with the most amazing individuals who enriched my life, taught me you are never too young to follow your dreams.
Do more things that make you happy is my motto for 2017.....
And too start off one of the things that makes me happy is recipe development & writing...so I have been developing a sprouted grain drop scone and biscuit recipes which if it plays out like it does in my head....watch out!!! I'll be in the genius realm of drop scone history and the south will redefined.
I have my grain mill on the way....and will be starting the sprouted grains and legumes. Once they are sprouted, I'll dehydrate them in preparation for milling.
If you have ever dreamed of Roasted Carrot & Caramelised Onion with Sprouted Lentil Flour Scone then you are in luck!!!
Next will be a Butter Chicken Mill High Biscuit Sandwich....I'll be making a sprouted pea flour for my mile high biscuits which will have roasted potatoes and samosa spices. Split open to fill with Jenn's Butter Chicken and creamy burnt scallion raita.
Bruce and I had the most amazing interns from all over the world last year....and will be hosting more this year. We have some wonderful young women coming to help us out with our gardens and I'll be teaching them the fine art of living in the middle of nowhere.
I have missed my quiet mornings writing and musing....it's good to be back
grow, harvest, cook, eat
and do more of what makes you happy....
Jenn
