Hi everyone!
I was awake before 6 and I didn't want to disturb dh, so I got up. I have been going, going, going ever since.
I deliberately invited someone for supper tonight and I am doing a traditional Newfoundland dish called a Jiggs Dinner. It involves buying a bucket of salt beef and having to rinse it numerous times in the few days leading up to when you have the supper. Part of the tradition is that in Newfoundland you have it on Sundays. You find the biggest pot you have and put the meat in 3 hours before you intend on sitting down to eat. You also put the turnips in at this point. They should be peeled and cut into quarters lengthwise if they are thick. Try to find thin carrots as well. Usually 1 carrot per person. You also put the turnip in at this point . The cabbage wedges go in an hour later. The potatoes go in an hour after that. There is also a cotton bag full of split yellow peas that go in when you put the meat in.
Looking at the clock. I have to go peel the veggies.
Dishes never stop.
Laundry never stops.
Paper never stops.
