It's Star Wars Day... 'May the Force be with you...'
Apparently the All Age Family Service at my home church was themed around Star Wars. I have joined a zoom congregation started by several Anglican churches in Leicestershire which started in 2020 and kept going ever since. No Star Wars theme for us, which suits me nicely!
My lightsaber wielding days are long gone; although I have been known to flap a flyswat around from time to time.
Sewing
I was suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms from not doing any sewing for several days. With care and consideration in my movements I was able to complete another seam without any many twinges. If I continue to be careful with everything I do I'm sure I'll be back to what passes for normal in a few days. It probably helped that I did no gardening at all - too cold!
Sausages cooked in the oven for 4
Now these were pretty good... 6 sausages, 450g (2 large) large potatoes and 2 medium onions. Some oil for roasting.
Preheat oven to 180°C fan
Slice onions into rings, and potatoes into rounds (not too thin, not too thick). Tip into a roasting pan, toss in 2 tablespoons oil (I used olive), season and roast for 20 mins.
Cut the sausages into thirds and add to pan, stir everything up to coat the sausages, and put it back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through and everything is nicely brown.
And serve!
The recipe comes from the Lavender and Lovage site. It popped up when I searched for 'sausages potatoes onions bake'.
I made half quantities and cooked them in the airfryer in a metal pan which fits inside the basket. I reduced the temperature to 170°C as the onions were heading to Well Done.
Using the airfryer is easier for me as I don't have to stoop to get things in and out of the oven.
Music
here's a bit of frivolity... 'Popular Song', no 5 from William Walton's suite 'Facade'
Do you keep many thongs in your oven?? Bob's been having a mini bonfire in his garden incinerator this afternoon. I gave him a couple of baking potatoes wrapped in foil. Unfortunately the fire was hotter than we realised . The spuds were totally incinerated!!! 🥔🔥🥔🔥
ReplyDeleteOops! I have corrected the typo, thank you Ang! I leave it to other sharp-eyed readers to deduce where it was!
DeletePerhaps incinerators can get hotter than ordinary bonfires?
I might just have to try that one!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day and managed some sewing with minimal pain
The website has interesting recipes, I've tried quite a few
DeleteNow and again I look on Abebooks to see how much the Lavender and Lovage book is but it's always £30 upwards! One day I'm hoping it will appear cheap enough to afford.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen there was a book; I just follow the blog. At £30 I doubt I'll be buying it!
DeleteIt's good to read that your elbow is improving and can undertake some sewing again.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've just done another edge! They are only a few inches long so that's about the right amount.
DeleteThanks to your typo I got a good laugh to start my day 💗
ReplyDeleteGood that you're taking it easy after that gardening and can even manage to sew a bit. Have a lovely week.
Thank you! They do say that a laugh a day keeps the doctor away... or was that an apple a day...?
