The weird picture was golden syrup (from a squeezy bottle) into soy sauce. I think it is in a stainless steel bowl. I was making marinade for some pork bones. The rest of the concoction has tomato sauce (to make it thick and stickable) Worcestershire sauce (for a load of spices and some vinegary-ness) and hot chili sauce for extra kick.
Kiwi tomato sauce is very different to UK tomato sauce - it has spices and acidity. I only tried UK tomato sauce once and am of the view is is simply red sugar paste. It has no discernable flavour other than sweetness. Not my bag I'm afraid. I like my sauces saucy.
Anyway at the time it made me think of ancient Greek ceramics
Okay - no resemblance at all but the colours are there.
Back to today…
So there I am cleaning windows in the dark… Actually the outside light was on and the angle showed up all the dust and pollen; both sides.
Ruru is hooting it's "more pork" call in the trees, somewhere out there Wally Weka is waiting for me to go to bed so he can start rearranging the gardening tools under the caravan (it sounds like someone trying to steal the trailer), and the quails have retired to their 'war room' to plan a raid on the pumpkin seeds I sowed today.
Tomorrow is another day.
I have more pumpkin seeds.
