They Say What They Say

Have tripped up to the old home town for the weekend. My sister and the BIL are loving it because it means the nephew can spend time bossing me around while they do more important things like reading the papers and drinking coffee. I'm sure I'll be taking him to the lake tomorrow to go for rides on the tram, but he's just so cute how can I say no?

I've been doing my Delia Smith (Geoff Janz?) impression tonight. First I made lemon tart with some of the lemons from my mum's burgeoning lemon tree, then a huge vat of pasta sauce, some of which we had with spirals for diner, and the rest of which mum is freezing for future reference. I just whipped some cream so we can have some tart once mum has finished watching Blue Healers but before A Touch of Frost starts, and then tomorrow we're going to yum cha for brunch.

I expect to get home feeling about ten kilos heavier and not to be able to fit into any of my new dresses and will have to hit the gym extra hard next week, but lemon tart!

ETA: Because eskarinasmith is evil (don't ask), here's the tart recipe. It uses a hell of a lot of eggs, but believe me it's woth it!
