Working hard on Sunday

[wiseheart]

... what a blasphemy! But Sunday is the day with nothing watchable on the telly, so I need to put all that free time to good use. *g*

So, I started with baking a cranberry cake - because I had a bag of cranberries that went beyond their best before date. I downloaded several recipes and chose the simplest and easiest one. Not sure it was the best choice. Next time I'll give one of the others a try. This one turned out dry like sawdust.

Then I make the chicken(s) for the songbook(s). Now only the ant(s) is/are left, and then the real "fun" begins: putting the book together and binding it. *shudders*

For lunch, I originally planned simple boiled pasta with grated cheese. Then I realized that the two tomatoes in the fridge needed to be used up. And the cucumber. So I decided that it will be tuna pasta (had three 80g-tins in the cupboard) with veggies and a bechamel sauce. Consequently, instead of 20 minutes, cooking took an hour and a half. But there was pasta and grated cheese... only with some additions.

While the pasta was boiling (we need it really soft, since Mum doesn't have many teeth left), I put away the jars with the apricot jam, took down the dried washing and performed other small tasks. That was more housework than any sane person would like to have on any day, last of all on Sunday. But who said I was sane, eh? *g*

that's what I like about DVDs and streaming. Doesn't matter what day of the week it is.

I do have lots of DVDs. But they are mostly in English, and in order to understand what's being said I have to put on the English subtitles — not really good for background TV.

What a shame the cake was dry. In our house that would lead to it being turned into trifle, but that is a very British way to use dry cake :)

Your pasta reminds me that I have half a tub of cream cheese in the fridge — I can see pasta and cream cheese for dinner in the next day or two here.

Oh, I do make trifle from time to time. But this isn't a real sponge; getting it soaked would be hard work. We'll eat it to coffee, piece by piece. I should have been wary about the consistence right at the beginning; the dough was so thick I could barely pour it into the tin.

Pasta and cream cheese sound good.

Pasta, tuna and cheese- not much cooking to do, but I love it!
