Yesterday doctor visit, with the Man Ray reproduction keeping me company while I wait
And bounty from Gary's garden cleanup
Green tomatoes are beautiful
A walk filled with color and leaves blowing about
And later a gift of Indian snacks.
Left, sweet ones, don't know the name, right, pakoras, deepfried spicy veggie clusters in chickpea flour.
Happy day everyone, enjoy your day however you can, different for everyone's experience and situation.
Ukraine will retake Kherson from Russian invaders any time now.
Ooh, Indian snacks! Yum yum. Glad the doctor visit went well.
ReplyDeleteI've had a hankering for pakoras lately -- time to go for lunch at an Indian restaurant! Maybe next week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news.
Putting green tomatoes in my lentil soup for the first time feels daring. ,
Looks like a very good day!
ReplyDeleteGary’s produce looks wonderful. Yummy green tomatoes. Great news at the doctor’s!
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess that being the last is hard. Congrats on health seeming to be ok.
ReplyDeleteIt's a strange situation to have outlived eight siblings, yes. There's now no-one left on earth who has known me all my life.
DeleteOK. Displaying my total tomato ignorance here. Are green tomatoes a specific variety or are they just unripe red ones? What does one do with them? Eat them raw? I know they can be fried.
ReplyDeleteGlad the doctor gave you a good report. I see mine on Tuesday and I know the weight ain't anywhere near where it should be.
Yummy Indian snacks. Lucky you.
These are just unripe tomatoes, too bitter to eat raw but wonderful cooked.
DeleteMy weight issue was unusual -- I had lost a lot in a few months from, I thought, stress of several medical events. My doctor was worried, but now the events are successfully done with, I'm putting the weight back on it's happened before, and now it's happened again..
Congratulations on the sterling health and on the lovely haul from Gary.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm very lucky in both.
DeleteGlad the dr visit was a success - phew!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to have a generous neighbour who shares garden produce. I suppose that's a drawback of living in an apartment where none of our neighbours bothers to try to grow anything on their balcony. Plastic flowers are 'the thing' it seems. We're the oddballs in the bunch and insist on green growing things with most of it being edible (Resident Chef condescends to let me have one flower out there and the rest of the space is taken up with two chairs and a small table (which is also covered in veggie plants).
As a little side note - it's now the 5th of Nov. and we've had several frosts but my fuschia plant is still bravely blooming as it has every day since I got it mid-May.
The fuchsia is indomitable! What a winner.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to leave a doc's office with positive "marks." And I agree about the green tomatoes - I am still finding more ways to cook and eat them.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the doctor was happy with you.
ReplyDeleteAnd what did you do with those green tomatoes?
The tomatoes went into quiches, with onions and mushrooms. And into chickpea stew. Great flavor.
