The dreaded shopping beckoned, so off I set, shopping list in hand, half way down the hill I decided to pick up the Grandies.....hehehe, those little guys hate food shopping as much as I do, so they can be relied on to find and supply some light entertainment.
We had a few distractions, about 2 1/2 hours worth actually, we were expected home and hadn't even got near the supermarket......however we did buy a few absolute necessities for Xmas, you know the things, advent calendar, decorations for the yard, etc...etc.
We stopped off at muffin break, I had a flat white, they had a feed.
Eventually we had a trolly full and scooted back home to ham and salad sangers for lunch, then a board game or two and then off to the park, got them home about 4 ish.....believe me, it's the only way to attack the dreaded shopping.
A quick lie down with a cuppa, courtesy of the darling and eventually made a bit of a quick meal. Butterflied fillet steaks with a tomato sauce, jacket baked potato with a greek yoghurt and cottage cheese topping and a green salad. No sign of Donna at all, but still, although not pretty it was healthy.
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
tinsy pinch of brown sugar - unless of course the canned tomatoes contain sugar
