Another great fall day. I worked in the lower garden a short while and pulled some weeds then pcked some tomatoes that have started to lighten up. I put them out to ripen, they will be ready to fry in a couple days. Now I have three boxes of the green tomatoes and by Monday I will be ready to fry again. I packaged up the ones I fried yesterday and got 5 quarts or 5 meals. I am getting quite a few fried tomatoes, they will taste so good when we come back the first of March. Then I came back up and weeded the flower garden a little longer and then weeded around the fruit trees. Still have some weeding to do in the side garden and the berries but I ran out of steam and also had to get dinner ready. That always takes about an hour and a half to do. Today we had baked fish, baked potatoes, and baked butternut squash along with fried green beans and almonds warmed up fried tomatoes and Norman had Swiss Chard. I don’t care for Swiss Chard and he loves it so I let him have all of that, I finished the Chop Soy from yesterday. I love my little dipper food warmer because I can heat up a very small amount of anthing that is left over and we never have to throw away anything or over eat and we get a great variety in the vegetables. Haven’t done much this afternoon just knit on a pair of gloves and watch a movie. Have a great day.
