There is an old adage, I’m not
sure who wrote it, Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dine Like a
Pauper. Not in this house. We breakfast like paupers (porridge or
cereal), lunch like a king, and dine like a king.
At the moment we are trying to
eat the garden before we shut up house in ten days’ time. For lunch today we
started with chilled tomato soup, followed by a tomato, cucumber and grilled
red pepper salad. Not forgetting the smoked ham and hard boiled eggs. The big
Crimson Crush tomatoes are incredibly sweet and juicy at the moment. Tonight we
are eating poached salmon accompanied by potatoes, chard and courgette.
Raspberries, grapes, plums and nectarines provide us with dessert. It’s no
wonder I never lose any weight.

We had lunch indoors today due to the strong wind blowing
and high temperatures. No sign yet of the violent storms forecast, they seem to
be passing just to the west of us.
I want to come eat with you! That all sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCome on over, there's plenty!
DeleteI'm feeding on the colours; beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
I'm getting a reddish hue.
DeleteIt all looks (and sounds) delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt was a slow start with the garden this year but the tomatoes and peppers are just wonderful now.
DeleteYum yum. Can you not delay coming home if the weather keeps nice?
ReplyDeleteWe could but I've got to go to Australia to look after a cute little dog!
DeleteThat all looks wonderful. The Tomatoes we have are 'Supersteak', and are simply stunning at the moment. REMINDER: I must boil some eggs for lunch.
ReplyDeleteLady Magnon is probably off to Oz to look after a cute little baby! But I'm not sure when it's due.... April maybe.
Not much of a storm was it. The dog came up and slept on the bed anyway. Looks like the rain will last all day.
DeleteDisappointing, we were looking forward to some fireworks! Rain and cooler temperatures are welcome though.
DeleteWe had a hellova wind with rain plus T&L, there were four or five tiles off the roof! The lid blew off the water butt with the pipework attached and so the precious rain was lost.
DeleteWe just had the wind and a little bit of rain. Tiles off the roof is not good.
