Busy Sunday...

On Sunday, I made...

Bagels,

and we had a delicious bagel lunch.

Cake, and muesli -- so we'll eat well this week.

And jam, so much rhubarb jam!

And Dom made damiana liqueur for Christmas presents.

I bought the River Cottage Bread Handbook  with some birthday money after reading about it on the wonderful Tania's blog, ivy nest. I've wanted to make bagels for a while, ever since we moved away from a convenient source of our favourite Sunday morning treat, and although these turned out to be a late lunch rather than a tasty breakfast, they were worth the wait. I'll definitely be making them again, although maybe I'll get started a little earlier next time...

And we started on some Christmas presents -- rhubarb jam from my homegrown rhubarb, and damiana liqueur, a favourite herb drink of mine. These will be little gifts to friends and family as we try and make most of our Christmas gifts this year.

Didn't get all the presents done that I would have liked to have done, but I made a start! And there's always next weekend...
