between the bits of rain yesterday, I went out and picked the last of the beans…
well, I think it was the last of them… I’ve thought that a few times, lol…
cut them and boiled them up for supper… they were delicious, even if they were a little on the overgrown side…

made zucchini fritters with two lovely zucchinis I got from Jonathan’s Farm…
grated them and wrapped them in a towel to wring out extra moisture…
after they were mixed with egg, cheese, and breadcrumbs, added them to the waffle maker…
came out nicely, although they could have used a bit of flour, which I decided to leave out…
I will make these again;-)…

on Monday, I made a toasted tomato and bacon sandwich, with a tomato from a friend…
it was delicious and reminded me of my beloved…
he made the most delicious tomato sandwiches…
I couldn’t figure out why they were so delicious… at some point I realized that he used a ton of Miracle Whip…
but, my oh my, they were mouthwatering…

went for a drive with my adventure partner…
drove just outside the city to Jonathan’s Farm to collect the veggies we both ordered online…
it was a sunny day and the drive was relaxing…
there was no one around when we arrived although I spotted someone in the field way down the way, lol…
we gathered up our produce and headed home…
the one thing we noticed was all the crazy drivers on the road, lol… Friday and everyone was in a hurry to get somewhere 🤪…
looking forward to some delicious meals…

spotted the Farmers Market by Foodfare on our way home last Saturday, so popped in to see what they had… and there were cloth vegetable bags in the car;-)…
picked up pickling cucumbers (my favourite), tiny red potatoes, a cabbage, and a cauliflower…
I keep forgetting that this market is here…
then for my lunch I had some cucumbers, cherry tomatoes from a friend, avocado, and a bit of cheese… yum…
what a treat;-)…

on Saturday I took a photo of the veggie garden arch…
I’ve taken lots, but haven’t felt they were just right…
finally I figured out that I should take one from the front yard, lol…
looks pretty… maybe next year I won’t have the beans growing across the top, where I can’t reach them, lol…

it was a beautiful evening, so we walked over to Sam’s on Sunday night… we’ve been wanting to go, but hadn’t made it until then…
the menu was basically schnitzel and burgers with a few appetizers, salads and desserts…
we had burgers and curly fries… I had a schnitzel burger…
the patty was twice the size of the pretzel bun, so I cut it in half and brought the leftovers home for lunch…
everything was tasty and Sam, the owner, was very cute and attentive… it was fun to see how the regulars waited to say goodbye to him before leaving;-)…
may go again…

enjoyed some delicious fish and chips Thursday…
a dear friend, who I have not seen for ages, came for dinner and brought the treat…
it is our pattern to always have fish and chips as it is one of our favourites, lol…
we had a wonderful visit and I also had leftovers for my lunch the next day;-)…
such a special time…

on Thursday we made waffles…
we had to get milk, raspberries, and whipping cream… although, not being clear, I was presented with a can of already whipped cream, lol… we chose raspberries instead of strawberries, as they are both of our favourites…
the recipe calls for separating the eggs, beating them, and folding the whites in at the end…
the most complicated piece was figuring out which bowls to use…
they came out great and we even froze a few to try reheating in the toaster…
next up will be grilled cheese;-)…
