…and a couple of them have switchblades
It’s a cooking morning here at Casa Cross. I’ve fallen woefully behind on my processing of garden goodies, so before I head off to work, I’m doing Stage One of my tomato sauce making. Simply put, this involves simmering pieces of tomato in a bit of wine, a bit of water and a touch of basil and garlic. It’s been simmering for about 45 minutes now and the house smells wonderful.
Tonight, I’ll simmer up some more tomatos, then move to Step Two. That will involve pouring both batches into a larger pot, blending it all with a hand blender, adding a few more herbs/spices, then letting it reduce by about half. After that, I’ll strain it, freeze it and get ready for the next influx of tomatos. Oh, and I’ll process the mountain of squash, too.
In other news…well, there really isn’t any other news. Life is running smoothly hereabouts and the weather is fine. Work is…well…work. Next Saturday Grace and I will be hitting San Francisco and Berserkly in search of used bookstores that we can pillage, as well as the odd game store and thrift store. I expect tasty food will be eaten, too.
And now, it is off to work for Your Humble Narrator.
