Another Day…

Hello!!
Bit of a kitchen day – yesterday I washed all those tomatoes (ie 9kgs of them) and today I put them through the food mill to squash out the seeds and skins. Its still on the stove slowly reducing to tomato paste – I’ve not added anything to it – so its just straight tomatoes.
Taking aaaages! And I couldn’t fit it all into one pot so there is another 4lts in the fridge waiting its turn!

Not that that has anything to do with the muffin photo…
Still got lots of apples. Looked up a recipe and gave these apple and cinnamon muffins a whirl.
Yummo!
Maybe I’ll make a few more batches 🙂

I did another batch of soap today, but these were from the other day – slightly more subtle than my last loud lot!
(Anjou Pear and Lemon Zest)

I also put together some more beach sand soap with eucalyptus

And these celtic knot ones were made with the extra mixture I had with the Wasabi batch

And on the side, just for amusement, I’ve started a new photo challenge (Beginning May 11th) on Facebook
10 new subjects – its getting so much harder to think of a good mix of subjects now!
Anyway, I was being a smarty-pants and thought I’d put up the subject ‘Build a House’ I didn’t even give people hints or clues so will be fun to see what creative ideas or work arounds they will come up with.
I had vague ideas of insect houses or card houses (My creative efforts get a bit exhausted at first coming up with the new subjects haha)

Anyway – mix some paint, a sharp blade and a cereal box…

I am having quite a lot of fun with it!
Tonight I finished the front and attached it to the rest of the house. The roof needs a bit on top to finish it off and keep it together… but I put some fairy lights inside it and I was pretty excited by the effect.
Looking forward to finishing it off and photographing it properly!!!

Well – I’d best go give those tomatoes another stir (and maybe indulge in another muffin…)

Hope you are all doing well
Cheers
