Cook cook cook...

It's a bit of a hectic morning this morning... there are quite a number of things to get done, the kids are out on a half day at school (which is normal for kids in the Netherlands on a Wednesday). Which of course means that parents have just a few less hours before the peace and quiet finishes... anyway, it doesn't help that both my wife and I are both working this afternoon....

So, first up... a slow cooker meal needs to be prepared, so that the kids and the babysitter have something to eat when they get home in the evening... and hopefully, there will be more than enough leftovers for us when we both finally get home!

I also go away again for work tomorrow early in the morning... and thinking ahead like always... I had bought a big bag of tomatoes after I saw this post by @birdsinparadise. Tomato chips?... well, they look just so good in the photos that she has posted... that I knew that I had to try them out...

However, I had this bag of tomatoes.. and I was going to be going away for the next few days... which meant that they might not be so good when I got back. So, it was also a quick thing to prepare them for the dehydrator... after all, I had my hands dirty already and all the cooking stuff was out anyway!

it was a first attempt, so I'm not sure if I got the seasoning balance right... but that is how you learn, make mistakes and try again!

Anyway, the cooking is done... I need to pack the bag to make so that it is a wake up and grab bags sort of thing tomorrow (it is an early flight and a long travel day...)... plus, I should check that the viola is in playing condition as well... I've been playing mostly violin this last month, so the viola is hiding away... hopefully with all the strings still on it!
