Of sauce and saris

With the bitter cold, things have slowed down considerably and it was a perfect time for me to stock up on some goodies and curl up with some movies.

While Matt was out riding his bike and running over the weekend, I was making jar upon jar of tomato sauce for canning at my parent's house. I had purchased all the ingredients only a few days before we put the house up for sale, and realized too late that I could not take the chance of destroying the kitchen with gallons of sauce. The recipe said that it would make 6 pints; I ended up with 13 pints. Don't ask me how. We have sauce in the pantry and more in the freezer. Matt's idea of a quick meal is to throw together some pasta, sauce and veggies, so this is perfect for him.

My reward for all this hard work was an afternoon of movies. I have been watching a lot of Indian Bollywood and old episodes of Nero Wolfe mysteries. Quite the strange combination. Matt can handle the mysteries, but either falls asleep or leaves the room when I am watching Bollywood. I think the fact that they are in Hindi is what drives him away. He prefers not to read for his movie enjoyment.

So, stay warm and think of us as we go out again this weekend for another round of house hunting.
