Most of the ironing Michael did was Caitlin's clothing. She has a habit of wearing something for a few hours, and then ditching it on the floor of her room. Then, in a few days time, it appears in the washing basket. She's been told to hang things up after taking them off (if they really don't need washing), else we will have to institute the "Diane" method of children's clothing - one in the wash, one on the child, one spare.
I made a big pot of bolognaise sauce on Tuesday morning, it simmered on the stove for a few hours. We had pasta and some of the sauce for dinner that night. I made sausage rolls for lunch, and froze the leftover ones. Michael spent a lot of the day playing with his new toy, a weedwhacker (brushcutter). He has weedwhacked the house yard and front 'paddock', seeing as the grass was knee high in places!
(note the Kenny overalls!)Wednesday, I made a vindaloo and a korma from scratch in the morning, so Michael only needed to heat them up. The vindaloo was a bit disappointing, it had nowhere near the kick it should, even Mim could have eaten it. Oh, well, double the chillies next time.
Michael spent his afternoon marking out the template for my bookshelf and then building it. It had to be built in the computer room as it is too large to get through the doors. It looks great! I now need to stain it so he can then attach it to the wall.
Yesterday, I made lasagne sheets from scratch (flour, eggs, salt). Then made up a lasagne using the leftover spaghetti sauce. OMG - it was divine!
Today, I'm taking a break from the kitchen (Friday night is pub night) and doing some housework. I'll also have to get some stain for the bookshelf. Caitlin is off horse riding with Ebony (her friend, not a horse), so will see if she blogs that adventure.
