I planned to do some batch cooking yesterday and started cooking a rich ragù for some lasagnes in the afternoon. I then made the béchamel sauce but what with one thing and another I ran out of time to assemble the lasagnes before I went out to book club at Fiona’s. Nothing daunted, I started cooking again at 11.30 pm, by quickly assembling the lasagnes and cooking them in the oven. I let them cool a little before covering them and this morning I put them in the freezer. I was well pleased with the results.
As a result of my late night activities I was very tired this morning but I had lots to do to prepare for our weekend away. I say weekend, but actually it will be nearly six days because we need to travel up the day before the four day climbing course that Cat has arranged for Ally, James, Gerry, Cornel and herself. And as it won’t finish until Monday afternoon we will travel home on Tuesday. As well as packing I did a grocery shopping to make sure that Grandma will have plenty of food while we’re away, and had a pleasant chat with her before going into town to meet Jennifer B for some shopping. It has been ages since our last shopping trip together and it was great to spend time with her. Then Heather joined us for dinner at Anchor Lane in St Vincent Street, the food was excellent and it was a very enjoyable girls’ outing.
