Well… I think the Weather God’s are having their meetings above Flowerdale and are in a cranky mood!
What a (non) summer!
As well as the rain it was cold.
SO – back to the kitchen for me!
I got the vegie mix I made yesterday and popped it in the dehydrator. One more hiking meal taken care of!
I have been running out of room in the freezers. (Probably something to do with all the ice cream I have been making) So wanted to get most of the plum pulp cooked into jam rather than freezing for later.
I did it in two batches (one 5lb’s and the other 4lbs) That’s about the limit for a batch of jam for me. I find if I do bigger lots it NEVER cooks or sets.
I know my Dad is reading this! Hi Dad!! Yep – there are a few jars there for you so you don’t have to be on such strict rations anymore 🙂
Enough chillies to easily make another batch of sweet chilli sauce. But I just topped them & de-seeded ready for another day and squashed them into the freezer. (Handy having a nurse – usually has spare latex gloves to do this job! If I do it without gloves its about three days before I can put my hands into warm water without them stinging like Billy-Oh!)
Last job before dinner (which I was multitasking-cooking) was to cut 6lb’s of tomatos and 2lbs of onion to mix. It needs to sit overnight before doing my tomato relish.
But that’s tomorrow
I have done enough dishes to sink a battleship (ok – slight exaggeration) but I will ignore what is out there until the morning.
Hope your weekend has been fabulous and domestic chores-free!
Cheers!
