Cooking Frenzy

I woke up early this morning despite the fact that I could technically sleep in. Oh well. It probably was a good thing as I was out of coffee beans (!!) and I needed to go and get some. Since I had to go out in any case, I decided I might as well stock up on groceries since I hadn't gone food shopping in a couple of weeks. AND, I am still missing some staples.

Luckily, Andronico's is open at 7 am, and I finished all my shopping in 30 minutes. $120 poorer, I headed home and made myself some breakfast and coffee. I had also decided to make this a cooking day at home and on the menu for cooking was salsa, sweet pepper tomato sauce to freeze, for dinner, thai green curry, and a crustless quiche for tomorrow morning. Phew.

As I started to roast the onions and tomatoes for the salsa, I realized that I hadn't quite gotten all the ingredients! I forgot a key item: vinegar. So off I went to the grocery store again. On the way there I saw the most beautiful hydrangeas:


Back at home, I started to cook up a storm. It was so great! Here is the making of the tomato sauce.
