Our New Life in the Country: Ooops.........

Saturday, 8 October 2011

Ooops.........

Ooops...what else can I say.

That gorgeous sauce I spent all day slow roasting, tasted divine, smelled divine but ended up all over the worktop as the bottom literally fell out of my liquidiser attachment on the mixer.

Never mind oops.....if you have a Kenwood....watch your bottom!!

:( not good - not just the mess but the waste.

We had that happen with our old blender - mid-smoothie make. Pink sticky stuff everywhere.

Such a sad picture. I have had this happen too. So disappointing after so much work. It sounded wonderful though!

Nope....none was salvaged.

I couldn't guarantee that it would be totally clean for bottling up and I was that upset I just cleared it all away, leaving me with orange rubber gloves, orange dishclothes and orange towels...yuk!!

Oh well it smelled wonderful and has left the kitchen still smelling faintly of rich tomato sauce.

Will I ever trust that liquidiser again though....now THAT is the question!!

Hello! Here in Argentina a magician, Tusam, said before a dangerous act " It could fail!" And we use that frase all the time for things like this.

I have that Kenwood and exactly the same thing happened to mine only with pesto. Ken is very poorly now and only works intermittently at his own choice of speed. We are sending him away to be mended. I would check yours still works and then check your guarantee!

your Ken looks fairly new (mine was my former mother in laws circa mid 1960s/70s. I think it might be worth a moan to Kenwood..stating that since blogging about it others have admitted to a similar issue...maybe you will get a free replacement!

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
