Reginald’s legacy

I mentioned in my previous post the state of our garden.
Hubby and I got out there before the next band of rain was due to hit and tidied up what we could.
The tomatoes are overladen, so we have cut them back, tying up the remainder to give them some support in the new wind. I’ve put some of the vines on the window sill in the kitchen (you never know, the fruit thereon might ripen), had the four ripe ones for my lunch and put the remaining green ones in a bowl. I may well be trying the fried green tomatoes in the next few days.
Something else caught my eye as I was bending over the toms, and I picked these:
There are loads to come so they will be picked and frozen down when young, sweet and tender, but for these guys? We had them today.

I had intended to do a roast dinner, but Hubby didn’t fancy that, so as he preferred a light meal and we are still trying to get his diet sorted with this reflux problem, this is what I did.
Plain boiled rice, our cooked and sliced green beans, topped with the chop I’d cut into cubes and cooked in water in the frying pan. No sauce, no garnish, just plain cooking.

The lettuces in the supermarket yesterday looked ready to walk out on their own, so I bought a prepacked mediterranean mix which included peppers and will do me two days.
Like Hubby, I had our green beans and the chopped pork, but added a spoonful of very low fat mayo to the salad. See that little red guy on the bottom right? That’s one of the tomatoes I picked today. Sweet isn’t he (and yes he was…….. very).
