Bread and Sausage Rolls

When I lived alone in South Africa and blogged from there, I'd regularly post recipes of the meals I made for myself and for Grant and the family when he was home on leave! So mostly my recipes were vegetarian and health-conscious. Here in East Africa I'm having too much fun going to pottery, birding and blogging, that, although I cook every day for dinner and bake at least once a week, I haven't posted about it. 

However, over the weekend I found a recipe for flaky (puff) pastry  and *proceeded to make it*. It's a VERY long and involved process but I'm pleased to say it turned out quite well in the end. I made a batch of sausage rolls for His Nibs and will use the rest for a chicken and mushroom pie which I'll serve tonight.

Mondays is also my bread baking day. I bake a loaf of whole wheat bread for myself which lasts me until Saturday. I bring in South African whole meal and instant dry yeast.

Grant had four mini-sausage rolls and Worcestershire Sauce for lunch while I enjoyed my ubiquitous sandwich of  cottage cheese and salad with a cup of rooibos (SA herb) tea

Note: ** Why did I make my own [difficult] flaky pastry? Well, living in the African boondocks, there just is no such item as ready-made pastry available. Sigh...

Here's wishing you all a wonderful week!
