Not to worry faithful readers...well, reader, anyway I'm sure (!), I will place blogging back on my priority list.
To catch up a little, I have made some montages. This will allow for more pictures in a flash-like reading fashion. So here it is...rapid fire:
1. Birthday Mantle Montage! (click on the images to enlarge):
From left to right:
Birthday Roses (SO PRETTY) with
Birthday Earrings hanging on the vase (see right)
Birthday Print - Jellyfish in a JAR just like MY JARS! What an awesome gift :)
Birthday Blue Headband (from Montreal)
Birthday Lace Cowgirl Hat!
2. Black Krim Tomato Montage!
This is the neatest tomato! It is ugly, scarred, and greenish brownish red on the outside and a dark dark crimson on the inside! Great taste (not as tangy as a yellow heirloom, but still very delish). Great for sandwees!!
3. Tomato Montage Extraordinaire!
We were SO lucky to have such beautiful amazing tomatoes this year! We had too many to photograph, but here are a few. The top right tomato was a gorgeous yellow to red ombre' on the inside:
4. Ombre' Tomato Montage!
So...what do do with all these tomatoes?
5. Tomato Dinners Montage!
Tomatoes with motz & basil...sprinkled with balsamic! Perfect for a Summer evening! AND...some stuffed tomatoes! You can see the process from ingredients, to scooping (love this pic!) to uncooked to cooked! = Melty, tomatoey goodness!
But there are more good things from the garden than tomotoes...
6. Kale NON-Montage...er...Montage!
How kool is kale? These big leafy greens cooked down to some tummy tickling collards. Sorry folks, no pics :( But look at the size of them! Fun to grow :)
What else, you ask...
7. Peppers into a Stuffed Peppers Dinner Montage!
Yep! These were grown in our garden. We have a whole bunch out there now we'll need to pick shortly (along with another purple eggplant). I see chili in my near future!
Isn't the peppers tops pic cute! I love putting the tops back on to cook them so they stay all moist and tender inside. Gauw-jous!
Well more goodies are yet to come, but I'll leave you with a secret place to chill out (and/or sleep) if you are a cat in our house. Apparently, there are good vibes here:
