And really cool tasty ones too! My tomato efforts have been a miserable failure this season. I’ve never been a Mrs. Mac Gregor by any stretch, but despite my neglect I’ve had respectable harvests. Could be JSB has a hidden green thumb and it’s been his “in residence” care that produced the bounties of Summer 2014 & 2015.
I have however managed Zucchini-pacolyspe 2017. Even even the volunteer butternut squash vines turned out to be zucchini!
If you follow me in Instagram, I share daily-ish innovations with the green gourd. Pretty much I put them in everything!
Mom’s gift is a special source of joy this week, as it was delivered ThePetite, and planted earlier this summer by JSB. Like many families food is part of our “love language”.
As I shared last week, I’m battling a Summer 10lb gain. This fresh, delicious bounty adds a finer edge to my blade for the next week. And in this battle, just like slicing tomatoes, a dull blade will not due.
If you are curious, we are winning. And I do mean WE – you and I and anyone who likes a post or comments on a dish, are all on the team. Down 4lbs and a some ounces!! My goal now is to have the last 6 off by our retreat. Ambitious? Absolutely!! Possible? Absolutely!!
What is your love language? What are you sharpening your sword for this week? Any victories last week? Zucchini suggestions welcome!
Mamma and JSB did good! Those are beauties! There is nothing like a good tomato. Yet another reason I wish we lived closer, so that I could cadge some fresh produce 😀
I’d have you cursing zucchs this year. LOL
Sharpening my sword to clean out the garden beds of spent vegetable plants and get them started composting. I would love to have a tidy garden by the time of the retreat! It’s sporty and a stretch, but there may be the last of the maters for that week.
If there’s dirt digging to be done, it’s the best thinking chore. You can leave me a tiny corner to tidy. 😉
I can leave you as much as you can handle!
