it doesn't feel like a Monday

T oday Keldor finished putting up the last of the drywall between the downstairs loo and laundry room, and installed the ventilation tube between the wall and the ventilation box with the fan. Since he wanted the spackel he put up between the dry wall and the original wall to dry reasonably quickly he built a fire in the wood stove in the laundry room. This prompted me to clean the stove (before he lit the fire), and scrub and oil the baking plate from that oven. Then, when the oven had heated to level 2, I baked a batch of scones in the wood fired oven. This is the first time we have used it, and I am pleased that it worked. I hope we are never in situation where we can’t use electricity to cook at home, but if we are, and there is something to burn, we can cook. (the stove tops also get hot enough to cook—I put the Pyrex bowl with butter on top of the stove while the biscuits were baking, and had to take it off before the rolls were done, as the butter was not only melted, but bubbling)

 

In addition to baking with wood fire, I also did the painting for both his and my banners (Keldor arms silk painting and Kareina arms silk painting)
