A week of high and lows

East Coast lows that is….

A weather phenomenon – The NSW equivalent of mini cyclone, one of the most famous East Coast lows did this….

Which was enough to keep Iolanthe marina bound 😦

And the High? 

….We Baked.

Not only did we bake, but this was our first time baking onboard with our new Omnia Stovetop Oven.

We baked Chocolate Brownies using Carolyn’s recipe and indeed the inspiration for the Omnia Stovetop Oven also came from the great reviews and recommendation on her site The Boat Galley.  For our first try the results were very acceptable. We will keep practising, maybe bread next. 

(For those who noticed yes we were using a saucepan as a mixing bowl. The mixing bowl was ‘borrowed’ by the skipper to catch drips from a leak in the anchor locker 😦 )
