Typical bank holiday!!!

Yep...the usual. Grey skies and drizzle and really quit cold. not the sort of day you want to sit out in the garden . The cats have got the right idea, they are inside where the heaters are, keeping warm. Thought our newish neighbours next door would have been out in their garden with all their stuff, but no sign of anyone. Way too cool. We spent the morning making a huge batch of tomato sauce for our pizzas. we use ..a small onion, a dollop of garlic puree and a small tin of tomato puree. A good spoonful of mixed italian herbs, a spoon of bouillon powder, and around five tins of chopped tomatoes. The onin is sweated, then basically all the other ingredients are added. We put a squirt of honey in this one also, to give a little sweetness. Then the pan is simmered..really slowly for hours until the mix has reduced by aat least half and it is nice and thick. Cool, then potted in little tubs for the freezer. makes about 12 so well worth making. Vin also made some blueberry vodka this morning as well. he had seen a pack of really nice big blueberries in M&S the other day, and he had fancied making some for a while, so he got it going this morning. he is using a jar, because he doesn't want to make too much..pricked the blueberries and put them in the jar. then basically you drown them in vodka!! leave them in the fridge for about a month. he says the colour is beginning to come out of them already, and it is going a nice purply pinky colour. Hic !!Bit of a Good Life morning.... Watched the Britain's Got Talent last night. very good show with some terrific acts. A great violinist and best of all was a little dancing dog with a lovely girl trainer. Ashleigh and Pudsey. Such a sweet girl and an adorable dog. i aint a doggy fan always liked cats, but as dogs go this one is just fantastic. Hope it wins the whole thing, I'm sure the Queen would love to see a dancing dog! Tonight we are having: The remainder of last night's pizza, Egg and potato salad and avocado potato salad for moi and celery and nut salad for Vin and a pasta salad.
