Monday Monday....

i enjoy mondays...

peaceful mondays.

usually...

monday is...

laundry day or

pottering around the house day or

playing with the dogs day or

reading day.

i think you get the picture.

i do a bit of housework and

recover from the busy weekend

on monday.

on saturday i

had a linen party at my house

it was fun and then

my friend and her family

came over for a pizza dinner.

that was fun too.

on sunday i

went to church

bright and early in the morning.

i loved it.

i enjoyed a long muggacino

afterwards and

talked to lots of friends.

one friend gave me

a big bag

full of cherry tomatoes.

ripe and red...

when i got home

i washed them and put them

in a glass bowl...

the last of winter's bounty and

the first sprig of basil this spring.

swish a long dash of aussie olive oil...

into a pot with onion and garlic.

saute until tender and transparent.

 gently

squish handfuls of the little tomatoes,

(so that the skins are broken

and the juicy goodness is released),

into the pot.

add salt, pepper and sugar if needed

simmer gently

for an hour or two,

or three or four

if so inclined....

until the flavours have blended

and intensified into

a

fresh

red

sweet

sauce.

serve

with

fresh basil

grated parmesan

and

pasta.

the perfect sunday night meal.

i'll meet you

out at the clothesline

in just a tick
