Peppers and tomatoes, they grow together well

I have just had a bowl of pasta and Dolmio "Stir-In Sauce" for tea. (Bear with me, I've been ill in bed for a few days and wasn't up to feats of culinary genius).

I don't wish to knock Mr Dolmio's Stir-In sauce. As cheap and cheerful convenience food goes, it's not at all bad. It was "Sun-dried Tomato Light", if you want to know.

The instructions on the packet suggest one should "... stir one pot of sauce into 300g of hot freshly cooked pasta." Which is fine. It then goes on to add:

"Perfect for two people looking for a bit more excitement."

What ? More excitement than not stirring reduced-fat tomato sauce into your pasta ? How can people live at such speed ?

I habitually read “sundried” as the past tense of the hypothetical verb “to sundry” derived from the adjective.

Thank goodness it's not just me that does that :)

I always think of those unimaginative souls who lie on beaches in search of the perfect tan. Fine when you're young, but exposure to sunlight, especially UV in our thinning atmosphere, leads to premature aging of the skin. Great if you want the weathered fisherman look!
