T is for Two Tins of Tomatoes ............

 ..........tipped all over the floor - not on purpose obviously!

I emptied two tins of plum tomatoes into the liquidiser jug to whizz them up as I was making a large batch of Quorn Bolognese/tomato pasta sauce. I picked up the liquidiser to fit it onto the top of my Kenwood Chef and the bottom fell off - I thought it was screwed on properly and tight...............it wasn't!

Oh My! what a mess the contents two tins of tomatoes dropped from a height can make - everything for several feet around was splattered!

Took me an age to clear up. What started out as a half hour in the kitchen cooking turned into 1½ hours, two soggy tea towels, three soggy dish cloths, one mop and a mucky brush and dustpan and the little mat by the sink is still outside getting rained on to clean it.

Luckily I had two more tins of plum tomatoes in the cupboard and eventually ended up with 9 portions of tomato/carrot/onion and Quorn mince sauce  to pop in the freezer.




This was a couple of weeks ago, the day after the boiler broke down! I waited in trepidation for the third thing to go wrong................

Back Tomorrow
