enjoying the tomatoes!

I've been patiently waiting, waiting, waiting for my tommies to be ready.  The last few days have seen quite a few picked, going into salads for dinner.  This morning on my way out to greet the chook children, I saw splashes of red through the vege patch.


Do you know what I just love for brekkie?


Freshly sliced tomato on warm toast, lightly sprinkled with ground black pepper and salt - the best part??  All homegrown and home made.

Of course, the obligatory cup of freshly brewed stove top coffee to accompany, mmmm, what a wonderful start to the day.

Yesterdays pick of tomatoes ....... just found my recipe for Tomato Kasundi ......... think it's time for a batch!

Have a lovely day :)

satisfaction plus

Today I collected the eggs

picked a zucchini

made a simple but delicious zucchini slice

picked some beans

pulled some carrots (I don't care if they looked like they're desperately trying to run away, or that they're all deformed) .... I grew them!

And was overwhelmed by satisfaction at how we were eating this amazing meal that we provided for ourselves.

To me, thats what its all about and it couldn't get better!

Lovely day to all :)

P.S.  DS16 has safely arrived in Germany, DD19 is off for her surgery tomorrow morning, fingers crossed for all x
