Hello Every-one!!  The weather has been really funny….back and forth like a yo-yo…one day it is hot and blistering and the next day it is windy and rainy.  Even the days are a bit weird with scattered showers…it is supposed to be dry season!!  So when the weather can’t make up its mind it wreaks havoc on our farm schedule….such is life and we kinda have to just deal with each day as it comes.  Not so easy in real life.  😉

We have had a few incidents on the farm.  A few days ago, Gnome lit up a few fires to burn a couple of  isolated fallen trees.  I t was hot but the wind got rather gusty and feisty and spread the fire through-out the entire farm.  Arrrgghhh!!!!  We didn’t lose anything but we ended up having to stay out in the sun minding the fire.  The last time we had an uncontrollable farm fire was about 12 years ago and it spread all the way down to the neighbouring village….that one was pretty hairy and scary.  Luckily, this time, it was confined and there was no damage and we managed to “under-brush” the entire farm!!

Anyway, this post is about mashed potatoes.  Every-time I tell Gnome, I am going to make mashed potatoes, he just laughs at me.  Well I know why because it’s kinda mashed with lots of lumps in it.  Anyway, I have managed to get hold of a potato ricer and hey, it actually makes great mashed potatoes.  So, here is a picture:

Gnome said that he has waited 15 years for real mashed potatoes.  Gosh, how sheepish do I feel???!!!  Anyway, he can stuff himself full with as much as he wants now…what a great masher…

Oooh I can make potato croquettes….

Have a great Sunday!!
