I just put the washing on, including some tops for cooler weather (won't be too long away) which need freshening up. I know, I'm still two hours later in starting than I'd like. That's what my excuse was for not doing the washing yesterday - it was too late to start by the time I felt ready... but that really is an excuse, because, on my own, nowhere I must go, etcetera, what does it really matter what time my washing machine & dryer are running? Except, I won't have them running into the evening or night & early morning - say, between 10pm to 7am, - like industrial regulations or as per noise regulations?
I'm not sure why I even bother with that much consideration, whilesome of my neighbours don't give a fig.
So getting the washing on now, I'm content with, well within regs, & I needed to do it sooner rather than later anyway - it will be done now, until the next time! 😺
Oh, & yesterday, I made a pretty reasonable puff pastry pie.
I placed the sheet of pastry into the dish, & cut off strips which overhang. I used these later, cutting them into thinner strips, to lay sort-of criss-cross on top, with the cheese.
I layered grated potato, frozen spinach, salmon, all seasoned with a little stock powder. & finally topped with the thin strips of pastry & grated cheese.
Note for next time: lower the rack a notch again. I had left it high as I had it from last time baking. I don't want to burn bases of things while the tops remain uncooked... but, yesterday, it seems, I could have cooked the base more.
It was a late lunch/early dinner. & tasted good - very satisfying. 😺 I felt pleased with my effort.
