We set off to Ricky’s. I was our wedding anniversary yesterday. Our 45th. Sapphire that is. I’d donned an electric blue (nearest thing I could get to sapphire) satin blouse & a colourful skirt. We were out to celebrate. We’d barely got to the end of the road when a light went on in the car – flat tyre. We turned round & headed home, hastily pumped in some air before setting off again. We enjoyed our meal. Susan, head of front of house & wife of Ricky, was worried about how the Fox looked. He was shaking again. When we left she gave us a bottle of wine even though we hadn’t explained why we were there. She was just so pleased to see us again.
This morning was started by trying to get hold of Kwikfit. Something has to be done about that tyre. We need the car to do the food shopping & to get to Kendal later this week. Our car is a Motability car which means we have to take it to Kwikfit. After several attempts I finally managed to get through on a very crackly line & have booked the car in for repair later today.
Meanwhile the district nurse has been to change the dressing around the PICC line so I’m free now to go with the Fox to Lancaster & Kwikfit.
Since then I’ve been making some meatballs for dinner. It has to be said minced beef is a wondrous thing. Even meatballs can taste so different according to how they’re cooked, what sauce, if any, they’re cooked in. Today’s meatballs are stuffed with mozzarella & are going to be baked in the oven in a tomato sauce.
When I think of meatballs I tend to think of curry. The one I make is our favourite curry. But minced beef goes into so many things – burgers, Cornish pasties, meatloaf, collops, popovers, Bolognese, to name but a few. It is also one of those fairly inexpensive meats so most people, particularly when money is tight, have discovered their special ways of making it exciting & varied.
