Zaatar

We finally got around eating the Zaatar, and it was nice.  We tried to replicate it.  Lemon zests worked well, but orange zests definitely did not work.

Mini Mint II

A month after they sprouted, they are just about big enough to be transplanted.  They are still so tiny, so the transplantation was delicate like a surgery.  Come on, grow faster!

Walk in the Rain

In order to avoid crowd, we took the opportunity to walk in a rainy stormy day.  It was quite successful.

Mains Clipper

I had my eye on a colourful clipper for the last few months, but it was never coming back in stock.  I switched my attention to another clipper but still not available, so when I saw this "basic Wahl", I snatched it up from town.

I have always preferred mains powered clipper than batteries clipper, I considered them more stable and more powerful, except it presents a trip hazard.

I am looking forward to the shearing.

Musical Cars and Highvis Bike

My colleagues were moving the cars during the day to keep their cars in the shade.  I was on a bike, and I opted to put a highvis coat over the seat.

Mushroom Kit

After having heard so much about home grown mushrooms, I had the opportunity to look after Sarah's birthday mushroom kit.  What a waste of time.  This company has good rating, but I am not sure that is remotely accurate, I think they either bribe all the upset customers with new kit or the upset customers are too British to write up a bad review.

We had 3 mushrooms out of it in the last 6 weeks.  They all came one at a time, albeit extremely tasty and juicy.

My sister and Sarah's grandparents had their mushroom bags from a professional mushroom farm "waste", so they had quite good yield, but we shall avoid any hobby kits.

Lemon Cheesecake

We have some left over heavy cream, and I suggested to make a lemon cheesecake.  I didn't bother with measurement, just eye balled and whatever we had left, ie. two lemons' juice, 1 lemon's zest for decoration, 1 tub full cream cheese, 250mL of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar.

It turns out quite nice.  It tastes very dairy heavy, with a good quantity of lemon to cut thorough it, since I omitted any gelatin, so it will not sit well in room temperature, which is fine.
