Usual cup of coffee brought by lovely VT to start the day, then did a pile of ironing after breakfast. The new iron is a hit anyway, much better than the last rubbishy cheap thing..Moulinex..awful. This one is a Russell Hobbs, dearer, but you get what you pay for as the saying goes.
Then made a batch of tomato sauce for the pizzas, VT makes this, he concocts a mixture of onion chopped, garlic puree, a touch of sugar, some bouillon powder, 4 tins of chopped tomatoes and about a tsp of mixed dried herbs.Then it is left on a really low simmer until it is nice and thick. The house now smells like an Italian Bistro..very tasty. We freeze it all then in little individual tubs for use each week.
I also made a loaf in the breadmaker, one of the breadmixes that arrived yesterday. We chose the German Rye Bread, which is rising beautifully as I speak. The new bread knife I got from Lakeland is proving to be quite a hit as well. Have yet to use the salad spinner though.
Last night while channel hopping, I came across a new series called Crime Scene Australia which looked interesting. it turned out that it was a murder case that happened about 15 years ago in Geraldton West Australia. Terrible case actually, where a young woman and her three children had been brutally murdered in a outback place just outside Geraldton. What was disturbing was that the murderer was only given 20 years befor he was eligible for parole. That astounded us , we thought that the criminal system in Oz was much tougher than here..seems not.
Tonight we are having:
Not sure actually,
Maybe the rest of the potatoes sliced and fried in fry-light,
Pork and bramley apple style quorn burger,
Cabbage and leek, done with creme fraich and mushrooms,
Apple rings or sauce.
