noadvertising Son intended to go back to Graz in the afternoon, hoping to take a piece of the apple cake we wanted to bake with him. Only that son was not ready to get up in time to help with the baking. He had been up playing video games until three in the morning, when the nightly family wandertag to the loo started. Thank God we have two toilets, which still were one too few. So I made batter, peeled apples, did the filling and a topping. Then I turned on the oven- and a few minutes later the kitchen was filled with smoke. Hubby had made a huge mess when doing pulled turkey and forgot to clean. We wiped out some of the disaster then waited for the smoke to vanish. Tomorrow it's oven cleaning time, thank God that I only have to turn on the correct programme. With the oven empty, of course- once hubby had turned on the pyrolysis with a roast pork inside. I found out just seconds before the oven bolted the door and open again only after the cleaning programme was finished. Phew, that had been close!
Hubby was off then to meet up with a colleague from Hungary. Did so in daughter's flat. Hearing that we were to have okonomiyaki for lunch daughter swiftly decided to come for lunch, too. I thought I'd be on lunch diet today- we did not have that much cabbage left for four people to get sated. But I added pulled turkey to the batter. No more okonomiyaki Osaka style but better even.
All of our throws did a cleansing bath in the washing machine today. Poor hubby, now he was not able to do a nap on his favourite sofa. Favourite, because it's so comfortable to lie on, alas, not without throw. Hubby hates the velvet fabric the sofa is upholstered with. Says he gets goosebumps when in contact with velvet. We had a very tasty apple cake in the afternoon. The recipe will definitely get a repeat, maybe with less sugar, then again, we do not have cake so often, so an overdose of sugar now and then might be acceptable. Hubby brought son to the train station, daughter took the bus back to Salzburg, and I went straight to the bedroom to recuperate. And nurse my lip. Cut it with the sachet containing gastric protection. Next time I will squeeze the content onto a spoon and not suck it as suggested...
