Intro
It’s been a while since the last podcast, Granny’s been on holiday. Podcasting on the go was a bit too ambitious as she drove over 3000km in nine days. G discusses the wonderful places she visited in New Zealand, she especially enjoyed Dunedin (where Jayshree is living now) and its Larnach Castle & Gardens. She especially enjoying visiting crafty places: Milton’s Mill which is now run by ; Qualityarns, the Oamaru
Textile Exchange and Ashford’s.
Genny spent Saturday with James at Joy of Yarn in Greytown for the Annual JOY Weekend. In baking related news in Greytown Genny loved the Le Pommier French Bakery and James’ partner Ian’s Coconut Loaf.

In the Tins
Genny really enjoyed baking with Ian from JOY who taught her a no-knead,
no-rise bread recipe
Five Grain Bread: Easy & No kneading – Recipe
4 teaspoons of dried yeast
One teaspoon of raw sugar
850mL of warm water
¼ cup of rye
¼ cup of flaxseed
¼ cup of wheat germ
¼ cup of millet
2 teaspoons of salt
2 cups of plain white flour
4 cups of wholemeal flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the warm water and leave to dissolve (stir once or twice)
Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir through to mix, make a well in the centre drop in the beaten egg and then pour in the yeast mix (looks like a porridge mix)
Pour the mixture into 2 greased loaf tins and put into a COLD oven. turn the oven onto 200 degrees celcius and cook for about 50 -60 minutes untill the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Cool in tins for 5 minutes and turn onto cooling racks.

Hi Granny! Glad you’re back from your hols. I do hope you occasionally hummed some Willie Nelson on the way (“On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again….”). Looking forward to seeing the Secret Project, too.
You will note that this comment definitely does not offer to increase your penis size or sell you blackmarket viagra. Hope your day is similarly spamless!
Hello Granny!
Another great episode. I had never previously heard of Peg Moorhouse but she certainly had some interesting tales to tell and a real inspiration still being so actively crafty at 92! Loved your musings about craft groups too and the vox pops from your Dunedin meet-up. Thanks for the 5 grain bread recipe – will definitely give that one a try at some point. Hope all is still going well with the secret project (probably no longer enough hours in the day?)
Thanks again for an excellent podcast – every single episode has been highly enjoyable.
Very best wishes,
Kate
