Chutney Queen!

Spent the morning making Sweet Tomato Chutney. The whole house now reeks of vinegar and chutney. Made about 6 1/2 jars of beautiful chutney with sun blush tomatoes in it too. Used the food processor to chop them small, I have previously done that by hand and I must have saved hours doing that.The worst bit is peeling the gaarlic, you have to do 2 whole heads of it, horrible job!
VT has done the front garden tidied up the weeds, and cut the hedge, removed the dead hanging basket etc., and is now painting the front garden gate in the entry. He's a good boy isn't he.
Jane rang up this morning for a chat and stayed chatting for ages, we have some lovely chats over the phone. She is now Restaurant Manager and is in charge of where she works. She is really chuffed with this, and is beginning to make plans. Good for her!
Tonight we are having:
Sausages, meat free of course,
Gravy
Potato and Celeriac mash,
Carrot and Swede mash
We both reckon that we have gone down a bit, about 16lbs so far which is really good.
