Not that the weather was bad, just didn't seem like a good idea at this time of year, just didn't feel like going.
Instead we would do chores.
Of course, we went to Tesco, got lots of stuff, though nothing really outrageous other than a cheap bottle of rum and a box of wine. But still came to £252!
We came back home, unpacked and had breakfast.
The morning was filled with cooking. Batch cooking.
First up was a huge pot of ragu, for which I remembered to get ingredients for.
So, peeled onions, chopped carrots and celery, then fried them in some olive oil before adding the meat, passata, puree and water, then let simmer for four hours, so it's all a delicious sludge.
Sludge isn't be best word, clearly.Whilst that was cooking, I then did a pan of jambalaya, which is quicker and easier.
It all smelt so good that we decided to have jambalaya for lunch, with some wine.
Even if I nearly forgot to add the shrimp, it came out glorious, and was a fine meal, if meant I slept through a lot of the football, at least the first half in which Liverpool went 1-0 down and had a player sent off.
The sun actually came out, so I went into the garden to snap some lichen, though the shots in shade came out best. Go figure.
Liverpool came from behind twice to draw with Fulham 2-2, then there was more football with Forest beating Villa.
Not much for a Saturday, but sometimes you just need to chill.
