I am bushed tonight!! I think I shouldn’t have done quite as much as I did. Maybe tomorrow I’ll take it easy?
I still feel a bit ‘top heavy’ with this cold.
Anyway, today I attended to more of the cooking – to add to the raspberry jam I cooked up 3lb of the plum pulp into plum/cinnamon jam. Looking forward to tasting that tomorrow to see if it is a winner or a disaster!
Then I can cook up the last 2lb accordingly.
I also made the BBQ sauce. I only meant to do stage one, but got overly keen and decided to continue and finish it up… which mean I was still bottling up sauce at 7.30 this evening.
Have I mentioned that I am over doing dishes?
Anyway – its done… complete with eclectic group of bottles.
I owe a local lady 7 standard bottles to finalise my payment for the lamb she gave me haha
It rained a lot today. While it was taking a break I did the usual yard run about to feed the chooks and bring up a new lot of firewood etc etc.
I meant to get back to the freezer to juggle the meat around that I put in yesterday. It should be ok… I put lots of layers of newspaper between them so things shouldn’t get welded together.
Big box of mince meat (Ground beef 🙂 ) 16kgs of it.
Its good to go and help pack. That way you can choose how you want certain things done. I didn’t want silverside (corned beef) or the shin so that went into mince.
And I choose to have the roast cut into steaks.
Plus I can pack them all in the right quantities for Jeff and myself.
Combined with what is still in the freezer, the supermarket isn’t going to get a lot of business out of us for a while.
Anyway – time for me to take my sneezy self to bed!
Hope everyone else is nice and germ-free!
Cheers!
You didn’t want corned beef?? Blasphemy! 😛 Just kidding of course, but we love our corned beef here.
Hahaha – I did feel a bit bad about it. But it went to a good home!! I actually really like it – esp as a cold meat for sandwiches.
But because its not something I really know how to cook – I’ve done it before but I’d have to go look at how and blah blah. Even though I know its easy – I just gravitate back to something thats quick and/or familiar. All in all it was better in a home that would love it more 😀 😀
