Papa VT's Dolmio pizza House!!

Today since we stayed in decided to make a batch of pizza sauce for our Sunday Pizzas. The recipe is very much a bit of this and a bit of that, but the ingredients are still the same.
Today we used...
5 tins of chopped tomatoes
A good spoonful of Italian Herb seasoning mix
Seasoning..salt and pepper
A medium finely chopped onion
A really good squirt of garlic puree and more of tomato puree,
A tsp of vegetable bouillon powder.
We put the mixture on at about 10.45 and it was simmering away for hours, we turned it off at about 1.45 when it had gone really thick. These were good tomatoes today. VT spotted them in Home and Bargain..Princes, four tins for £1.39. Last time we made a batch of sauce we used some value tomatoes, and they were terrible, far too wartery and took forever to go thick. I 6think you get what you pay for. Value isn't always a good bargain.
Last night lost a filling from a very old and decrepit tooth at the back, so had to go and make an appointment at the Dentist. No hardship..he is only two doors down! The girl said Monday at 9.30, then I said haven't you got any cancellations because I'm only two doors down, and she said Oh we have one on Thursday at 10.30. So won't have to keep playing with the hole for too long! !
We also wrapped the things for John and Anns parcel this morning. VT does the wrapping he is the most perfect present wrapper. When Jane was small he used to always do her big presents and I used to do the ones that didn't matter much. It always seems a shame to tear of the wrappings, some of them are beautifully done. I was hoping that their dvd of Downton Abbey would have come today, but it didn't so we will have to wait to send their parcel a little longer.
Tonight we are having:
A chicken style pie
Baby baked potatoes 8oz
Mixed vegetables
Mushroom gravy.
