Garden is Bigger than my Stomach


Happy weekend, one and all! Actually, I’ve parked myself at a coffee shop to do some proof reading, so there’s nothing particularly weekend-y going on for me, yet. I’m wearing my new shirt out for the first time today (I took a better picture, which is here), and it’s remarkably comfortable. I just hope nobody thinks it’s a pyjama top. And that I don’t slide out of this arm chair, due to its silkiness.
This cone was my afternoon snack yesterday — I need to restock on Clif bars, so a briefly considered having yogurt, before I remembered that I was out. So I went for the ‘next best’ thing, which was frozen yogurt — yogurt is yogurt, right? Heh. The sun came out for the first time in a few days yesterday afternoon, so it felt appropriate to eat it in a cone.
I’m starting to think that perhaps nine tomato plants is too many for one person. I used quite a few to make salsa on Wednesday and felt relieved to have depleted the stock. Then I got distracted for a second, and when I glanced back at the window sill, it was full again. I’ve been tempted to put a sign on my front door that says, ‘Heirloom Tomatoes, 50 cents each’ — but then I worry about getting fined for selling produce without a license (or whatever one might be required to have). And I wouldn’t even be able to sell tomatoes to raise the money for the fine, then!
So I might have to start putting them on the doorsteps of people I know and running away. Strangely, my zucchinis (which are the usual ding-dong-ditch vegetable) have all but stopped producing.
Well, time to get back to my proof reading. Long live the weekend!

    Can you make some kind of amazing chutney or ketchup with them? I’d rather have lost of gorgeous tomatoes than loads of courgettes anyday! Looking back over the last few posts you made, your dinners look AMAZING! The breaded aubergine looks particularly tasty.
