..........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
Good morning Sue, that must have been some mess to clean up! At least it gave you a subject for the letter "T". Trish x
ReplyDeleteOh NO!!! Was the air blue, or are you self-controlled! What a mammoth mess that would've been. And I'll bet you'll be finding little splashes for weeks to come. Were you covered as well? I'm guessing the answer to that is yes! I do hope it's not stained anything and you can bear to eat the resulting meals... I think it'd put me off tomatoes for weeks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess! How frustrating - at least it happened at the beginning of the process. It would have been even more upsetting to lise a pan of cooked sauce all over the floor.
ReplyDeleteSue, you should just tell us what a brilliant planner you are in having this accident when you needed "T". You might even persuade us that it wasn't an accident but rather an incident for our delectation!
