Happy New Year to you all.
Lets hope 2021 will be a little less challenging than 2020!!
I don’t have any mad goals or plans… we’ll just roll along and go with the flow!
I am still hugely optimistic about a November trip to Japan with a few ladies… but… we shall just see what the year brings.
The other day I actually went and relocated a few tomato plants. Cleared out the garlic patch and topped it with some nice compost.
All the tomatoes look a bit sad but I am sure they will bounce back
Its a bit of an overcast day to start the new year…
I’ve uncharacteristically started 2021 by folding and putting away a lot of laundry.
Its going to take me a week to recover…
I’ve also done a bit of cooking.
There is a banana/raspberry loaf in the oven… and its smelling amazing.
Still a few minutes left before its ready.
I also made stage one of some strawberry ice cream. The mixture is chilling in the fridge…
Should go do stage two soon so I can get that finished off!
Then I guess I should go find some potatoes for dinner??
(These ones we ate the other day. Love being able to just go and get them as needed again)
Still a bit of a wait before the tomatoes are ready… agony!
Yesterday we picked some cherry plums! We’ve been grazing a bit on them. Happily this season we are getting some before the birds.
We also picked a box of them for Sharon and family who came around with a bigger ladder!!
I’ve cooked some, but will have to go get some lemons from Margie so I can make some jam!
Summer… its a really lovely season!!
Cheers!!
Do you make fried green tomato sandwiches? I like the tomato slices tossed in corn meal and a little salt, then fried. Make the sandwich of fried green tomato slices with bacon and mayo on toast. You can add a slice of cheese if you’re being decadent. Yum! That’s to hold back the agony of waiting for them to ripen!
No… I’ve never actually tried that! It does sound pretty good the way you’ve described it!!
I did find a surprise reddish tomato yesterday…its on the window sill… I think ready tomorrow. So excited haha
