My thoughts of the day

[Piling]

May is like that. A good month.

Lazy today. But I will make small white breads, all the same. And listen to Mozart.

Listening to Mozart is a lovely way to start the day

Do you have any recipes for soda-bread because I am allergic to yeast

[Piling]

I use flour which has already yeast within (bread-flour). Nothing can replace yeast for bread. The best thing is to eat Eastern bread (flat), for example Kurdish bread (nan) :

250ml hot water
350g flour
1 teaspoon of salt

Pour hot water and salt in a bowl and add gradually the flour until you make a ball.

Share the paste in 4 small balls.

Pour flour on a flat surface and roll the balls until it become flat thin 'crêpes'.

Cook then your bread on a span : when it bubbles, it is ready.

Thank you I will try making some

Has summer reached France yet?

One of my friends wanted to find me a husband so I told him to make sure the man could cook

I need a man who has a brain not a TV

[Piling]

No summer at all. It could be March here, or October.

Small red ants are trying to colonize my kitchen. I think they arrive from the ventilation under the window, I can't block up it is for for the gas.

I am looking for a natural defense weapon which not kills them cruelly but only makes change their mind and stop to eat my cat's meat. Lemon juice on their way ? Vinegar ?

[Anthea]

Use the force

I just used to tell the ants not to come in and I also put food for them outside so they had no need to come in

After putting food outside use a strong bleach to wash away the trail they have made

[Piling]

A friend tells me that coffee ground worked for his garden. Now I have poured it on my kitchen ground : horrible

Ganesha is coming bak on our heads. I have heard that rain pushes ants to come back in houses…

[Anthea]

Until yesterday I had been putting my central heating on every day, hate to think what my next bill will be

Still dry here but not so warm today. I had to use my fan yesterday because it was so hot here

Never heard about ants and coffee

Do know that you have to destroy their trail. Are red ants the ones that bite?

[Piling]

I suppose they bite, yep. But that's not the point : I don't want they decide to build their nest in MY HOUSE . I put coffee ground on their trail, I will see tomorrow if it works.
