This time of year is when my kitchen windowsills start to have some of our harvest sitting on them. Sometimes it is tomatoes or chilli peppers, at the moment though, it is the windfall apples. Some are good some, despite a codling moth trap, have been attached by said creature and need eating asap.
I have (on its second rise), a loaf of rye bread which we will be amazed if it turns out okay. I just switched off whilst making it, picked up rye flour rather than the intended malt flour and also forgot the oil:
Update: the bread was fine!
Also here is my book stand being used to dry some gloves (used for preparing the chillies for the freezer) and the tea towel. To the right of the book stand is said windfall apples:
The next windowsill houses our fruit basket (currently empty), to the left of which are 3 good apples. The kitchen hand towel is also drying in the sun, along with a chopping board. I like to air these in the sun if possible, after washing, as I think the intense heat kills any bugs that might still be lurking on it:
Once the red pears begin to be harvested, these windowsills will fill very quickly.
Do you use yours like this?
I would like to but there are no proper windowsills in this house. They're about 2inches wide and slope out.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that would be difficult to balance things on.
DeleteWe live in France and the sort of house we live in do not have window sills , both hubby and I miss them him for his plant cuttings and me for some where else to put my rubbish lol .
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame? They can certainly become a magnet for rubbish.
DeleteMy bedroom window sill is 5ft long and faces south so lots of fruit and vegetables have spent part of their lives on there or in the conservatory.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Unfortunately our longest window, at 6' is north facing.
DeleteNo window sills here either!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a couple for a houseplant or some flowers but it's not to be!
I must admit, I thought all windows had sills, how odd.
DeleteCan I ask where you buy malt flour from.carole
ReplyDeleteOnline from Shipton Mill or Real Foods.
