Leafy - but wet

During the week I went to Eltham and visited Susie and her family.

the old Midland Hotel, oposite the railway station

  I left Castlemaine in brilliant sunshine,

Castlemaine Railway station

but on Wednesday it rained,

 and rained,

 and rained some more.
 
Susie is heaps better, but still not allowed to drive, so we stayed inside, and talked, swapped recipes, and played Scrabble. She beat me, too!

 I took the opportunity to take a photo of this quilt, a bit blurry, but you get the idea...

 and couldn't resist this. Susie is well known for her love of purple, and people give her stuff...

One of the recipes we talked about was Savoury Chops, a Good Thing to make when nights are cold...

Savoury chops
brown 6-8 barbecue lamb chops in a little oil, add a finely sliced onion, then pour over the following mixture, mixed in this order -
1tsp salt, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water.
Simmer until chops are tender, and serve with mashed potato and a green vegetable.

You'll find Worcestershire sauce in the supermarket near the tomato and barbecue sauces. It keeps for years.
