You can never have enough...

[JanW]

I think this cooler weather has had an adverse effect on my brain -went to a silent auction fund raiser yesterday and paid $23 for my favourite number 29 - which is my birthday - could have been anything but it was 10kg of plums - pleased with that - Robie paid $50 what he thought might have been a bottle of wine but it was water! Anyway decided to make another lot of sauce - they are not free stone so that was a pain - but bunged it all on and kept going back to it - seemed to be taking a long time to get going - after about an hour thought I should check if the element was working - thought it could be my old stockpot wasn’t compatible with my induction cooktop - but the back element was glowing and my pot was sitting on the front - his stupid I felt .It was a great night best desert I have had for years the most beautiful sponge so light and fluffy - cream with a whiff of some liqueur to cut the sweetness and glazed strawberries - so simple but so delicious .The entertainment was four ladies whose husbands were all killed in an accident - they had lost their jobs on the wharf and decided to go shearing - they had all just moved into State advances houses next door to each other with 11 children between them - they have stuck together and now live next to each other in adjoining units - they were hilarious - would make a brilliant TV series - the organisers were collecting for school uniforms and supplies for kids who need them so was good to see some generous donations
Can smell my sauce better get my bottles organises
