Sauce Weekend 9/3/2013

I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but every year on the Labour Day long weekend in March, some of our friends from Melbourne come to visit and we have a great weekend making passata sauce and instant pasta sauce. 
This year we had the most successfully sauce weekend to date!
We are getting the process down to a fine art, and the tomato's from Mary were the most beautiful Roma's. In previous years the tomato crops suffered from rain/storm damage so we didn't have good tomato's to work with.  This year they were perfect!

This is how we cook our instant pasta sauce.
We're working on a better cooker for next year. 
 
 
The Girls!
The hardest workers on the weekend of course! 
Taking a well deserved dip, after a long hot day.

We are always sad to see our dear friends from Melbourne head home after our sauce weekend. We work and play hard, its a fantastic weekend that we very much look forward to each year.

(PS) I've decider my de-cluttering project for April is going to be the office filing system. I started changing over to a computerised system a while back and its been neglected lately so.... time to fix it up and finish it off!

(PPS) I'm not sure if this would be considered as a de-cluttering project to some, but to me it is.... so be it! :-)

Bye for now
