Pottering...

A day of doing this and that. We started off by making our tomato sauce for our Pizzas on a Sunday..This is a top secret recipe..not..
5 tins of chopped tomatoes
A good dessertspn of mixed dried herbs
A couple of sachets of brown sugar,
Salt and pepper
About two tspns of bouillon powder,
A small tin of tomato puree and
A good squirt of garlic puree.
This is all put into a large pan and left on a really low light to simmer away till well reduced and thick. Cool, and put into small plastic boxes, one for each week. It makes about twelve.So that's done for the next three months.
This can pretty much be left with the odd stirring for quite a long time, so VT went off and did the barrel in the front garden. It is the green bin this week, so he put all of the rubbish in that. The daffodil bulbs were saved for another time, and we have bought some nice plants to go in the top of the barrel. There is a loveloy geranium of a deep maroon colour in the centre, and alternating cineraria which are silver, and blue fuschia plants. Should look nice when they flower.
Our little touch of Chelsea!
I did the brasses on the front door..the only trouble with that is that it is bound to rain tomorrow now!
Tonight we are having:
Pasta with a spinach and ricotta sauce
A little bit of garlic bread
Mixed greeen vegetables and asparagus.
