Langnaweek - Rus, rus en nogmaals rus...werk raak net te wild op die oomblik.

Ja, dinge gaan woes by die werk, maar ons moet maar deurdruk. Ons het langnaweek hier en die plan is net rus, en nogmaals rus. Gister was rustig (Sandri kon nie kom kuier nie) en Karin het piesangbrood gebak en toe braai ons sommer vir middagete. Lekker, maar ysig koud buite!

Vanoggend was kerk, en ek was aan video-diens. Net een klein tegniese foutjie gemaak, maar alles het goed gegaan. Na kerk het ons gou gaan koffie drink en stukkie koek geeet in Leederville, en lekker kuiertjie saam Greg en Briar ook gehad.

More is laatslaap (as ons kan) en "blom". Ek wil sommer middag-slapie ook vang. Slegte nuus is dat Karin reeds vroeg bed toe is met 'n seer keer. Oh no!! Hier gaan ons alweer!

Karin meng die deeg vir die piesangbrood.

Karin mors nie as sy bak nie; sy is 'n blur sy werk so vinning!

Mmmm!

This is what happens when an older sister photographs her younger brother....

'n Vleisie om die hongerpyne te stil terwyl ons footy kyk (Giants vs Buldogs).

Kyk tot footy as ek buite die vleis draai (dit was koud!).

Kerk vanoggend en dominee seen die gemeente.

Lane Pool Reserve day-trip (near Dwellingup)

Just arrived at the main car-park as you enter the Lane Pool Reserve (~15 minutes outside Dwellingup)

Karla with some of the Jarrah trees behind her.

Petie near one of the rapids. Plenty of recreational kayakers around too.

The boys...

The rapids near Tony's Bend campground.

A quick picnic before heading home, and then onto (what was) a very cold Fremantle...

Q Pizza's

So, we've now had the Weber Q since February and it has seen a fair bit of action. Summer is on the way, so I decided to refine the pizza-making process. We've made bread on it no-worries, but pizza was a hit-and-miss affair. After watching  Heston B on TV the other day I was inspired, so the Kenwood Chef could be heard bussily churning away in the background, mixing dough. 

So, to make near-perfect pizza (cooked dough with a crispy, brown base) you need a pizza stone which has been pre-heated for 15+ minutes. Don't use a trivet, it messes things up. Just put the stone on the grill and crank the Q up to max. The dough needs to be ~3-4mm thick, and holes poked in it with a fork. Don't put on too many (by volume) ingriedients and make sure you pre-cook things like mushrooms, else the pizza will be soggy (still cooked, but who likes soggy pizza? Answer: No-one).

Oh, and dessert pizza worked a treat too (Nutella, strawberry jam and marshmallows...)

Take 1...

Preparing the Karla-special. Amazing how nice Apricot jam tastes on a pizza!

Karin's recipe (the best of the lot) ready for the Q, and shown cooked below.


My Pepperoni and smoked-oyster pizza. Very, very tasty.


The pudding-pizza. It was surprisngly good. Strawberry jam is a must.
