julesjonesOnly about 100 words yesterday, because as I was reminded, there are these things called weekends. One of the things that happened by way of relaxing and socialising was a barbecue, which normally I don't mind. Unfortunately, I have had evidence today that there was an IBS trigger in some of the food I ate. Frequent evidence. I suspect soy mince in the burgers. So only about 500 words on the m/m/m today, because I have had the attention span of a goldfish all day. The religious rant was from the Here's One I Prepared Earlier file, not crafted on the spot.
I did a tomato salad as our contribution to the barbecue. Four different varieties of heirloom tomato, plus basil, salt, balsamic vineger and olive oil. There's a photo around here somewhere which may get posted later. I harvested the sole remaining Brandywine for this - 230g. The first ripened fruit on the Brandywine was eaten on the vine by something, and I found the remains of the still green one pretty much where it would have been dropped by something that had stolen it and retreated to the nearest gutter to eat it. The Brandywine was delicious, and I am tempted to grow it again next year in spite of the pathetic performance this year. With any luck, a healthier plant (this was the one that was blighted) in a pot with good compost rather than the local clay soil will do better.
