I'm getting very independent with my Misfits now, bringing it in without help. Bit by bit, that is. I don't wrestle the whole box off the ground.
Here's Ronald arriving on time and doing a nice job
Apricots to replace apples this week, berries to go with yogurt,
two oversized lemons, free with points, new supply of yellow potatoes.
The last tiny couple of the previous batch of potatoes are sprouting and I'm planning to plant them in a container, to stretch the harvest. Potting soil arrived this morning. Timing.
Little shells for tuna casserole, anchovies for flavor somewhere, maybe in the curried black beans happening tomorrow. Spinach is a staple, I chuck it into a lot of dishes.
And I sneaked in dark (virtuous) chocolate covered raisins, nutritious. My story and I'm a stickin to ut!
In other food/gardening news, the celery is moving along
Today the DVD entertainment is a revisit of Gently. I remember liking this long ago, mainly for the actor playing Gently, but otherwise it will be like new.
Happy day everyone, it's hot here, high 80s, so it's about walking early, which I did, and slowing down in the afternoon, which I might.
Beautiful apricots.
ReplyDeleteI love their color and how they keep it, in jam or sauce. These need a day or two to ripen.
DeletePerfect timing. Everything coming in at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYour garden will produce lots of yummy food for you
I’ve yet to go out and plant the winter crops as it’s been so windy and warm.
I don’t want them to bolt. Like they did last year
Here my planting was delayed, too, because we had a wet cold spring. I'm hoping they'll catch up.
DeleteWe really enjoyed the Gently series.
ReplyDeleteI had some chocolate-covered almonds yesterday. A woman in my art class was selling small boxes of them as a fundraiser for her grandkid's soccer team.
ReplyDeleteSo you were obliged to buy some.
DeleteIt was the right thing to do. Just think how virtuous it would be to buy your healthy dark chocolate covered raisins to support a charitable enterprise, one devoted to kids no less. I'm pretty sure that when you begin to rack up virtues at that rate, pretty soon eating that chocolate will result in weight loss.
DeleteI like your thinking.
DeleteWhen I scrolled through the snaps before reading, I thought your celery picture was actually a fancy lettuce growing in a lovely china bowl! I want that bowl!!
ReplyDeleteI looked again, yes, majolica maybe!
DeleteOh, look at that darling little celery plant!
ReplyDeleteOkay. Could there be a more English blurb than, "Great. Bordering on brilliant!" ?
I love it.
And yes, of course dark chocolate covered raisins are a health food. Without a doubt.
Yes, the blurb is *****!!
DeleteYou do such a good job of staying healthy!
ReplyDeleteI will have a happy day as my niece Kelli is marrying her partner Rose today! I am looking forward to celebrating with them!
Pass on my wishes to them for a long and happy life together.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteYour boxes are the best! And right to your door!
ReplyDeleteDoorstep delivery is the best part. Saves energy for cooking.
DeleteI am so impressed by your progress. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt's pleasing, and thank you for the support.
DeleteWe shopped for groceries today. Not my favourite thing and I’mmso glad it’s done, wish we had Misfits.
ReplyDeleteI think it takes time and effort I'd rather use another way. No deliveries where you live?
DeleteOoh, apricots! SG’s favorite treats are dark-chocolate covered raisins! (And sometimes in a mouthful with popcorn.)
ReplyDeleteWhat does he call them??
DeleteDark chocolate raisins and popcorn...
Delete🤗
DeleteAnother healthy order of food. I haven't had an apricot in like forever!
ReplyDeleteIt's a short season so I seized the day.
DeleteMy goodness - that celery is growing by leaps and bounds. I don't think I've ever eaten 'fresh' apricots and only ever remember having them dried.
ReplyDeleteFresh apricots are like a different food from dried. The texture is lovely.
