..........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!
ReplyDeleteSome people have a tradition of Fall cleaning as well as Spring cleaning... I'm guessing this wasn't the plan...?
ReplyDeleteOh no! At least you were able to finish making the bolognese. And your kitchen floor will have had a very through clean. Xx
