Day 18: Christmas Sausage...


Having the easiest week ever! This is most likely because the hours during Christmas and New Years are going to be hell. But I’m enjoying the peace while it lasts. I helped to make a Duck, cherry and pistachio sausage today, it very festive even in the colors of the ingredients.
Whilst drying out the tomatoes for the tarts I discovered, what I found to be huge mutant of a TOMATO just as big as the bananas delivered this morning. Check out the size of this monstrosity!
