About Me
- Larky Lady
- Living in this little town in Iowa is just right for me. Spring is my favorite time of year when our world becomes green, like a gem in the center of the country.* * * * * * * * A little more about me. EG and I have been married for 4 1/2 years. We have traveled to his home in England four times and have done quite a lot of sightseeing there. I will continue to share some of the many pictures we have taken during those trips. Other pictures will be of some of the many flowers we have grown during these years. We have a small greenhouse which EG puts up each spring where we carry on the plants we have already started in the house. It has become a great hobby. EG has always grown lots of flowers back in England, and now some of that beauty is adorning this little part of the world. * * * * * * * * As a Christian, it is heartwarming to see the warmth and joy coming from others on the Etsy site. In fact there is a category of "Christian" that people use to search for the homemade items.

England Recipes
Scones
2 cups [8 oz] of self-raising flour [If you don’t have self-raising then use plain flour but add 2 teaspoons of baking powder]
2 ounces of margarine or lard
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda [If you use baking powder leave out the bi-carb]
½ cup [¼ pint] of milk [if the milk is just turning sour it works better but fresh is OK too]
Pinch of salt
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and rub together to a sort of breadcrumb mix.
Add all the milk at once and mix lightly to a spongy dough.
Knead lightly to make the dough smooth and roll it out to about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
Cut out with a 2" round cutter. Brush lightly with milk and bake in a hot oven (220 - 230 degrees C, 425 - 450 degrees F or gas mark 7 - 8] for about 10 minutes.
Cool the scones on a wire rack so that the outside stays crispy.
This quantity makes about 12 - 15 scones.
The most important things to remember are to add all the liquid at once and cook them quickly.

EG's Braised Beef
Cooking time: see points 1,2 & 4
Preparation time: 35 mins
Main cooking utensil : Large pan with well-fitting lid.
For 8 people you need:
3 lb joint brisket or topside of beef or rather less cut into pieces, see point 4
2 oz fat
2 carrots
3 onions
½ swede (rutabaga), sliced
2 leeks
3 sticks celery
4 oz bacon
Bouquet garni*
Seasoning
½ pint stock
¼ pint red wine
*mixture of fresh herbs, parsley, thyme, sage etc tied in muslin.
Either leave the beef whole or cut into large pieces –– true braised beef must be cooked above the liquid etc... so should never be cut too small.
1. Heat the fat and brown the meat in this for a few minutes.
2. Lift out on to a plate, then brown the sliced vegetables in the fat together with the diced bacon.
3. Add the bouquet garni, seasoning, the stock and wine, then lift the meat on top of this mixture.
4. Cover the pan tightly, and cook very slowly.... a whole joint of meat needs to cook for about 1 hour per lb., meat cut into fairly large pieces (weighing about 3oz. per piece) needs about 1 ½ hours cooking.
5. From time to time lift the lid and add a little more stock if the mixture appears to becoming dry.
6. Sieve vegetables and stock as a delicious sauce, reheat and remove bouquet garni.
To Serve... Garnish with freshly cooked vegetables if wished.
