Tomatoes..muffins..basil..repeat..

 

My daughter shared a lovely little roasted cherry tomato sauce with me..

I made it once..made 2 pots..

I made it again!

I did amend the recipe ..

I roasted a head of garlic and a few red pepper strips and  an onion with salt and pepper etc..roasted at 425F for twice the time.

In the sauce I added 3 large sun dried tomatoes..and again kept a chunky sauce..it just gets better and better when you adapt to your liking..added red pepper flakes and some sugar..

I  added a splah cream for a rosé sauce one night.

Again..let me tell you..homes smell amazing ..while the roasting is going on..

My basil is still lovely and strong.

I attribute it's health and happiness to almost no watering during growing season.

I asked J to leave it alone..as I remembered that both Septembers away..we came home to lush basil..no one watered it..

Last year he killed it w/ kindness:)

I love that you can share cherry tomatoes.

My neuro got some..  our fireplace men got some..my neighbour..

It's so rewarding to grow and offer.

I started saving seeds..tomatoes etc..

I made muffins and had one while sorting some..

It's my FAVE bran recipe..

From Café Sucre Farine.

One bowl..  you can glaze or not..you can use prunes instead of raisins.

So so good.

The perennials are sad and burnt.I cut dwn the little lampstandard bed by the road.UUUUGLY.

I'll get onto the other ones sooner than later.

But the New Guinea Impatiens are lovely.

So more next year.

I added miniature dwarf Irises♥

Have a good week:)
