A little cooking, a little sewing

 It’s May and the rainbow scrap challenge color is GREEN. I spent a few hours sewing this morning before breakfast so that I could get this one out of the way… I really wanted to get my blue rail fence quilt worked on and maybe turned into a top. 

But first I wanted to get dinner (spaghetti sauce) started. This is when everything went wrong… I had a major leak with my mini food processor and of course, it was tomatoes in there 😳🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 Tomato sauce everywhere. Still haven’t figured out how it came out and splattered on me, my white tile and cabinets. So I grabbed emulsion blender to just crush tomatoes right in the pot. It didn’t sound right and I thought it smelled funny…kind of like plastic?… but I figured, just get it done. WELL! It made a popping noise, smoked and shut the electric down. Scared the 💩 out of me! I unplugged it and tossed it into the sink. 

I saw the stove was off…the fridge was out and the plugs near the stove, all off. I went to the basement and flipped the fuse that had blown, went upstairs and, yay, fridge is back on. BUT, stove isn’t. I looked everywhere for a switch to reset… couldn’t find one. So, I got a book of matches out, and lit the burner. Good thing I have a gas stove. Can’t get the oven to work but I’m able to light the gas! So pasta sauce is on and cooking and I’m cleaning tomatoes from everywhere then change my shirt. I got the dough, for bread, out of the fridge where it was doing a slow rise. Butter the bread pan, floured it, shaped my loaf and plopped it in. Letting it rise…. But wait… how the heck am I gonna bake it if the oven won’t turn on? Al is in Charlevoix for the day, meeting with his friends. I guess I’m going to have to put the bread back in the fridge to slow the rising until he comes home. 

I think I should have just stuck with sewing today.
