A few people asked what we were going to do with all the tomatoes that we have been picking from our tomato plants. On Saturday, Ken and I peeled a couple of kilograms of tomatoes.
For me who can’t stand raw tomatoes it was huge. I had to wear gloves to peel them. After we peeled them, Ken blitzed them in the food processor and then it was into the stock pot to reduce them down.
While they were cooking – I couldn’t even stay in the same room. The smell of tomatoes was so strong. They have now been reduced and are in the fridge waiting to be bottled for use as tomato sauce for pasta sauces.

The band that Ken is in – The Mary Janes - played at the Pier Hotel for New Years Eve. It was a great night – the pub was packed and there was no trouble – a good time was had by all. I have uploaded some pics here but the rest are at my flickr account you can see them here.

My mother-in-law just emailed me this photo that Ken’s brother Bruce took, of her feeding the seal at Alexander Bay. Not sure I’d want to get this close to him – but it is a great photo.

Boxing Day (the day after Christmas Day) we went to Alexander Bay. An hour and a half from Esperance, where Deborah (Ken’s sister) and her family spent the Christmas camping. The weather was wonderful and the scenery just beautiful. Good food, good wine and good company! We had fresh abalone, that Jack want diving for in the bay. I have never had abalone before – but it was beautiful!
We were graced with the company of a pair of seals that ventured onto the beach. They came right up to the shore close to where people were set up. I got some great photos, but didn’t want to get too close – they are after all wild animals!
