I make all our bread and yoghurt at home, so it seemed natural to keep on making it here. We do buy bread here sometimes, but I’m hoping to turn out some good loaves of ‘pot bread’ now I have my cast iron saucepan worked out. I baked a nice one in the gas oven here in the apartment we’re staying in.
Thanks for the info on Orange River. The Dutch really love orange – both the colour and the House of Orange, their royal family

So you were right and I have learned something

You are just one domestic Goddess Judy , cooking out in the middle of nowhere. Greg knew just what he was doing when he met up with you. Have a lovely day and as Sally said look out for the dentist who should be looking at teeth and not hunting wonderful wild animals. xx

Actually I’m making yoghurt here too and am really pleased with how it’s turning out. My friend Sue gave me a Hansells yoghurt maker and it’s working well.

Love those heavy caste iron pots , and I hope the weight doesn’t stop you bringing it home . I have a great quick recipe for bread you might like to try ,seen you have porridge . Stir together ….. 3 cups oats , 500g Greek yogurt[ low fat is fine ] , 2 teaspoons bicarb soda , pinch salt . Small greased/floured loaf tin 180 + for 40 mins .

Looks very dry with beautiful clear sky there . Watch out for American dentists with guns !

I’m hoping we’ll have enough space and luggage allowance that I can bring it home with us. xx

Will do more research when we have better internet access.

Can you explain why the river is called orange. is it because of the soil ? x
