Tomatoes and domesticity

Tomatoes and domesticity


Well this morning I felt domestic. Doesn’t happen often, but occasionally. I had two bowls of tomatoes that we got out of the garden that needed to be used or something, so I cooked them up and made some tomato sauce out of them…it’s in lovely jars (one for regular tomatoes and one for Roma’s) in the fridge. Then I put some bread in the breadmaker, and then I planned out dinner for tonight (we had herb and Parmesan crusted chicken). Turned out to be nice….all of it.

I ran a heap of errands this afternoon and while I was at the store, I ran into Tina, who’s been trying to work out how to crazy quilt from instructions on the net and my fairly lame emailed ones. I took her to one meeting of the Rocky Mountain Crazy quilters and hopefully she’ll come back for more. Anyway, she’s started a blog, so hop over for a visit and cheer her on (we have to encourage any new crazy quilters, don’t we? ) !

Well on the note of “cooked tomatoes” I’m off to do nothing tonight! I must rest!
