DD is taking me to visit the neighbours we lived next to at Cherokee. They now live at Gisborne. Bit far for me to drive.

Chicken with smoked tomatoes from cooking class. Mashed potatoes and peas.

Soup.

Katie, that’s a massive effort. No cooking today. Tai Chi and Mah Jong.

Forgot to mention that I used a TMX 31 during the cooking course. I’d forgotten how to use it. We used it to grind the ginger, garlic and chillies for the Kasundi.

I’m in a nice Hotel in Hobart with my DIL. A 4 day mini holiday. We have been to Mona, exhausting.  The total concept is amazing.
Yesterday we did a cooking course at the Agrarian Kitchen. It’s a world famous cooking school. This is my 4 visit. The class was called Tomato gluttony. It was very much hands on. Each pair made 2 recipes and at the end we all shared what we made, to take home.
Taking a break in the middle, while the recipes were being processed, we had an amazing lunch. Freshly ground flour for a rye SD bread, lamb casserole, salads and a mulberry sweet. Surprises were the Kefir butter and the fresh ricotta.
Before the start of the class, we picked tomatoes from the garden.
Home today.
Marina, I feel for you with that terrible trip out of Melbourne. We had the same experience when last down.

Small pie and veggies. Made pie in Sausage Roll machine.
2 neighbours don’t have an AF. Asked if I’d do a demo so they could see if it was suitable.
