Wednesday, we trundled off to the Cowra Show with Laura's Toggenburg or is it Toggenbugger goats. We had a great time, the goat people are a friendly mob and the Judge Anne Hill was very helpful in making suggestions to Laura as to how she could improve her presentation. Well worth the f am start.
Interesting the tradition of the interbreed judging, the goats are lined up in the order they came to Australia or were developed. The Saanen goat is first, it is believed they arrived with the First Fleet or the earliest settlers.

Flushed with the success of the building of the Pergola, and then Laura's Goat milking shed, Bodgie Bros has entered the kitchen to produce sour dough bread!
Yes, taking 100G of bread flour and combining 100ml of lukewarm water, the culture was started in the cave of many yeasts ( Martin's so called dispensary) , left for 2 days, covered with a moist tea towel near the warmth of the fuel stove, and the magic began!
With bubbles showing, and the gentle aroma of slightly sour milk, the culture was fed again with the same mixture. 24 hours later, the culture looking highly active, was halved, then fed again.
after a further 24 hours, 200g of the culture was mixed with 240ml of tepid water, added a tsp of salt, then mixed with 500G of bakers flour, then I cheated by putting it  into our bread machine on the french setting ..voila..the loaf as pictured!
Can you imagine the look on my grandchildren' faces when I present them with their heritage and inheritance, the family sour dough culture !

Sometimes the bush throws up strange things. Walking the dogs this afternoon I came upon this mummified creature in a fallen tree. Not sure what it is, looks like a bat, but it could be anything.
