It's almost upon us! The boys are making sure they watch as much TV as possible before it goes off, although they will be getting a bath very soon. No more hot water, except from a pan on the stove. I'm getting everything with the blog set up to work from my phone, the laundry is all done and dried, and I'll be putting batteries in the torch and setting up candles soon.
There are a few things I've planned for the weekend. Most involve food, and doing things traditional ways.
I bought some whole weat grains, and a mortar and pestle, so we will try grinding our own flour to make bread. I'm expecting some very sore arms, although we're working on a much smaller scale than that pictured above. We're also making yoghourt and butter. Amongst other things. I had planned to cook fish in salt... but forgot the fish! Erm... oops!
We have nothing pre-prepared or processed (except some wholewheat flour as a back up if the hand grinding doesn't work!)
In the laundry we will be hand washing in lectric soda,which will be a learning experience. I also haven't used a washing line for six years, so the clothes dryer comes in second behind the microwave as what I think I'll miss the most in the way of household gadgets.
I did also buy us a treat or two:
A block of fair trade chocolate (YUM!) and some fair trade coffee.
Seems fair!
Once again, don't forget to donate!
We are almost half way to our target of $500.
