• 1x tin cherry tomatoes
• 2x "normal" tomatoes, diced
• 1/4 onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
• dried Italian Herbs
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• Red wine
• Pepper
• Pasta
• Olive oil

Start some water boiling. In a saucepan fry the onion (I used rice bran oil for this part, Olive oil is at the end), then when it’s been cooking for a few minutes add the garlic. Cook that for a minute then add the can of cherry tomatoes and the normal tomatoes. By now the water should be boiling so put the pasta in. In about 5 minutes add a dash of red wine, a huge sprinkling of Italian herbs, some pepper and the brown sugar. In another 5 minutes check the pasta and taste the sauce. Add more herbs/pepper/sugar to taste. Drain pasta, put sauce on top, then put some extra virgin olive oil on top for that final touch. Belissimo!

You won’t want to use bottled/canned pasta sauce again!

Wine was pretty good though, cheap too!

Kim Crawford 2008 Merlot Diamond Series

e.g. it’s supposed to look like this

1 ABCD EFGH IJKL
2 JHGF UYTR POIU
3 BGRF HJNK TRFG

but I see

1 1 AEBC IFGH
2 2 JUVP OUIR
3 3 BGJN KTRG

And the letters are kind of merging with each other and it’s all very strange. The woman behind the counter says “now read the third block of text” and I said “there are only two blocks of text” and she said “Are you sure?” and then she got another customer to have a look and he could see 3 blocks. I heard the woman behind the counter say it happened to another person and her husband had to look in the machine to prove to his wife that there really were supposed to be 3 blocks of letters. I did see three blocks for an instant when I looked at the wall and then looked back into the machine but I couldn’t see it properly, I could only get 2 columns.

So I went to the optometrist and it was open but the optometrist was sick. WHY WAS IT OPEN IF THERE WAS NO OPTOMETRIST? So now I’ll have to do it next weekend…

Then I got a call from the warrant of fitness place to tell me that they only put a 6 month sticker on the car instead of a 1 year one so I had to go all the way back again. I’m glad they called and got it fixed…
