Good morning.
Washing dancing on the line ,sun blazing down,an easy tea organised and have arranged boiler service ,!
The recipe for tea sounds tasty.
A flan with ready rolled puff pastry.Put pastry on baking sheet.
Mark our a margin about one inch from the edge all round but don’t cut right through.
Spread with 3 sliced softened red onions.
Add 500gms cherry tomatoes halved .
150gm pitted olives.
Sprinkle with 2t spoons Balsamic vinegar .
1 Tbl sugar.Sprinkle of salt and 1Tbl spoon Italian seasoning .( I have that but wonder if it meand Italian herbs, either way it sounds a lot )
Oven 190 fan C/ 210 C gas 6 1/2. 20 mins.
Fry onions in oil ‘til soft.
After 5 mins add sugar and salt.
After another 5 mins add Italian seasoning and vinegar, gently cook fit 5 mins more.
Cool.
Spread onions mix over pastry leaving the border clear.
Top with tomatoes and olives .
Paint border with egg wash but milk is ok.
Supposed to be served sprinkled with fresh parsley and grated lemon zest .
Not tried it myself yet but it does sound good and a lot can be done in advance.
A nice bag of Italian salad mix would go well.
Ooooer- big black clouds!
Ooooh sooo much washing on the line too!
Not up to what is happening world wide as yet, sick of tennis ,does it have to be on both BBC channels ?
Don’t know if the grunters and groaners are at it but it is so annoying.
Not much news, daughter phones this evening ,so will update me.
Had a nice chat with F.H. ‘S daddy.
Baby ……?….Kyra is resisting potty training ,a very determined little tot, so her Mummy has left it as Kyra is wick enough to see it as a weapon to get her own way .
Some nice new clothes have been put away for when she does not need nappies,she knows this .
It was not a punishment but some little panties ,all lacy ,part of a set with a dress to match won’t go over a nappy .
So mummy puts them on her ,or tries to ,then takes the nappy off and yes they fit , but put a nappy on and they don’t fit ,so back in the drawer.
“ Never mind ,you can wear those when you don’t need a nappy anymore can’t you. “
No frustration etc.Just an idea planted and Kyra will make her own mind up.
She will come round eventually ,well I hope so!
It will be good ,such determination when she is older and striving to get qualifications etc .
Very like my daughter, who had a goal and reached it.
Awkward if not managed when they are young but invaluable when older.
Must go out to look at the sky , re clouds, they come from S,E.
Years ago they came from N.E ,over Holcombe Hill.
Wonder why the change.
Hope all are well .
Cheerio for now.
Viktoria.
P.S.
Just listening to the Radio. A representative of Yorkshire Water was explaining how difficult things could be with so many complaints re leaks etc etc etc,
In fact it was “ very frustrating and quite draining!”
