Sweet Smell of.....

Tomato..everywhere in the house! We started a mega batch of tomato saucee for our pizzas this morning after breakfast, and kept it simmering all morning on the stove. Tok it off after lunch and left it to cool. It makes enough for at least eight pizza tops maybe more, and is a good standby in the freezer. Muc much cheaper than buying the jars of pizza sauce and we know what is in it too which is a bonus.
Funny day today..we had the shooting on the rifle range at the back of the house. It is actually quite a way away but you can hear it very clearly. That was going all morning. people complain about it but they know what they are doing when they buy their property. You do get used to it..we don't notice it all the time. Today also the baby police were doing their training in front of the house. Poor little things they look so young barely old enough to have left school. So it was like being in a war zone front and back today!
VT was in the garden this morning too planting the things we got yesterday at Dobbies. He has some lovely plant pots now with some really pretty flowery things in them. The boy done well!
He also did the little lavender plants that he got free from the Daily Mail. Beautiful little plug plants and he has potted them on to give them a chance to grow. We have one on the patio area that he got maybe last year and that is gorheous..a real deep purple lavender shade and the bees really go for that.
Tonight we are having:
Garlic and Herb fillets,
Cauliflower with a bit of sauce on,
Saute potatoes, and any other veggies that need using up.
Thursday is turning out to be a use up day.

VT has just put his head round the door to say the tomato sauce mix has made 10 pots of pizza sauce!! We reckon that the jars cost about £1 each and we used three tins of tomatoes which was about £2 so that is good valus.
