I have been harvesting cherry tomatoes every day. I'm thrilled because chipmunks ate all my tomatoes right off the vine last summer.
I bought this pepper at the farm market. I was just mesmerized by its colors. I think I annoyed another customer by standing there holding it my hands and just admiring it for probably longer than an ordinary pepper might warrant.
Of course it won't last so I sautéed it with mushroom. onion and tomatoes and had it with a sprinkle of melted cheese on a pita bread for my supper. So fresh and yummy.

You know how you buy something at Costco that you really like but then it disappears? I will shed tears if they stop selling this snack:
I know nothing about a keto diet, but this stuff is delicious and satisfies the crunch craving for me.

I baked this Florida citrus pie for PI day (3/14).
It's lemon and orange curd with meringue topping. I distributed it to neighbors so as not to sit in front the the tv with the pie on my lap and a big spoon in my hand. No one else had heard about pi day -- serious lack of math nerds around here.

Avocados are cheap around here right now. I made myself a crispy tostado topped with avocado, shrimp, tomato salsa, and sour cream. I remembered enjoying this in a restaurant some years ago. It didn't disappoint made at home, so simple.
Well now I'm hungry. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou can get those on amazon.com too if Costco should ever stop carrying your coconut Keto clusters. They sure look good. I've heard of PI day and I hate math more than cats...okay not true. Cats still win but I have a dear friend who is a math nerd and she is a teacher of advanced math. She always brings a pie in on PI day. She also decorates her own classroom for her birthday. So you can see why we're friends. 😄
I love those Keto Clusters!

Glad you got a harvest this year. I had racoons strip my plum tomatoes one year. They ate every one of them and pooped around the plant to show how good they were.
ReplyDeleteThose Keto clusters sound delicious and healthy too. Will look for them.
Well, aren't you just the foody today!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks fresh and good, but I'll take the pie!
They say we eat with our eyes as well as our palate. All of it looked very tasty!
ReplyDeleteTake care, stay well.
I used to grow tomatoes and bell peppers in containers on the side of our house (the sunny side). Haven't tried since the pandemic, but your pictures encouraged me. And your pie looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds so good. I would like a piece of the Pi pie, please!!!
ReplyDeleteI am confused. Did you decide to stay in Florida permanently? I know you aren't picking cherry tomatoes in New England! I must say, that pepper looked amazing! A work of art!
ReplyDeleteDear Country Girl, I foolishly thought I would just stay in VT this year what with the virus and all. Then winter hit and it was became pretty obvious that I am not a winter person in any way.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked the pepper. I just could not get enough of looking at it for the longest time.
Sadly, anything red gets eaten my bulbuls and mynah birds before we can enjoy them. That is the prettiest red pepper I've EVER seen. And oh my gosh! That meringue pie looks so scrumptious, I wish you were my neighbor. I've never seen that Coconut KETO cluster snack. Now I'll have my eyes open for it.
ReplyDeleteOh ho! I just bought the KETO clusters. Art is sort of laughing at me saying it's not good for me. Ah well... just this once.
