Well, you see you usually 'dance' to someone else's tune, don't you? For manymany longlong years she did when she worked for other people or companies.
The plan today was to make the two chocolate salami, then take a bucket and go to pick roses from the allotment to give to Susan tomorrow. But then she got asked to make some biscuits.. so she changed the 'tune' and stayed at home all day baking.
It was fun, we stayed pretty much all day in YumYum HQ, measuring, sifting, mixing, beating and at the end by about five of the afternoon clock, we have the salami, beautifull wrapped up and chilling in the fridge, lots of savoury biscuits and.. a clean kitchen as she had washed up as she went along.
Tereza has collected her mail.. we have had a cup of LapySang. All is well in our life and tomorrow she will leave to go to pick roses quite early, then she'll come home, change into party clothes, pack the salami in one basket and me into another and we will go by train from Victoria to Streatham Hill to Sing With Dementia and to celebrate Susan's birthday.
We have a quiet evening ahead of us tonight, with various newspapers to read on line, a book to finish before it goes back to the library. She has found a new recipe for Beets which looks to be extremely scrummydumptious indeed, I will post it soon as she has a bag of new beets that she will be cooking within a day or two.
Saturday she will be at the garden for most of the day, if she gets the jasmine down and carted over to the other plot, the guys can take it with them when they clear the plots on Thursday, June 4th, then she'll be able to put the guttering up and connect it to the big water tanks.
Sunday is the Farmer's Market at Parson's Green, she'll meet that Goaty girl Debbie for a chat, she knows now not to push her hand too hard, especially as BioCare has Potato Starch as an ingredient in one of their products and she saw it too late!
Her right hand is in a dreadful state, she is now highly allergic to all of the Nightshade family.. Tomatoes, Peppers, Aubergines and Potatoes.. and it has kicked off the arthritis that has made all her fingers on her right (grass trimmer) hand blow up, she can't get any rings on and the fingers cannot bend. She's going to have VERY strong words with BioCare, that's for sure!
So no back-to-back gardening days for her until her hand gets better. She will go and change books at the library, make a couple of different lots of savoury biscuit dough, for it freezes well or you can keep a ball or two in the fridge for up to four weeks.
A busy week next week, her glasses are ready so she has to do a trip to Hackney to collect them from EYE OPTICIANS in Mare Street, a few minutes walk from Hackney Central Station. The guys will be working on the plot on Thursday and she is doing a Meet and Greet new volunteers for Trinity on another day besides her Rotarian meeting and the Singing With Dementia on Friday.
Monday looks to me like housework day! Clean sheets on bed.. vacuum carpet.. dust.. clean up pots outside.. wash bathroom.. wash windows! And it is the first of June.. eureeka.. the first day of Summer!
Wings up.. we are admitting to being deeply GREENLY envious, she reads a Blog called Northwest Edible Life, I think it is www.nwedible.com, it is written by Erica who is a professional chef who has a large amount of land around her house in the Pacific NorthWest.. and her cherries are almost ripe!
On that note.. we are off.. PipPip. I cannot tell you how strong willed she was today not to even 'tidy' up those salami! For not a morsel passed her lips!
