#FoodTuesday #vegan #vegetarian
This coming weekend is the last for the farmers’ markets here. No more freshies like these:
I sure will miss it! I can eat frozen or canned corn, and I can buy or bake bread (not as good as Mrs. Wuest’s), but I’ll have no more fresh tomatoes until July 2024.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: A treat with a short time limit.

Yeah, Another Blogger
October 24, 2023 at 11:04amThat is a very good-looking meal in the photo. I’m getting hungry.

October 25, 2023 at 10:41amI could eat corn and/or potatoes every meal. And FRESH tomatoes.

October 24, 2023 at 12:50pmI keep forgetting you’re not in California!
BTW, I absolutely hate tomatoes except properly mushed (and smooth) as sauce (cooked) and catsup.
You may have all of mine, in perpetuity.

October 25, 2023 at 10:42amThank you for the perpetuity tomatoes! You’re not alone in only liking them well cooked. #4 Daughter only likes yellow ones fresh, because they have less acid. My grandmother was the same way.

October 25, 2023 at 10:42amThey are, indeed! If I had a farmer’s market within walking distance, I’d buy fresh every day.

October 25, 2023 at 5:06pmI’m wondering about your windows. I know you’ve got a lot of them – points to kitty pics – is there some way you could turn one room into a sort of ‘greenhouse’? Not the whole room, just the area near the windows? That way you could grow a few of your most favourite veggies all year round?
If you bought some of those big plastic tubs, you could place the plant pots inside so the floors would be protected. Of course, I’m not sure what would protect the plants from Da Catz… :/

October 29, 2023 at 2:15pmWe do have a lot of windows, but Charlie oriented the house and constructed the roof eaves so that direct sunlight never hits any room in the house more than an hour or so a day in the summer. The low winter sun is blocked by the trees. And, yes, the cats would definitely be a problem. If I make the mistake of watering the plant in the front room, I’m sure to find at least one leaf ripped off and played with because then they think I care about the plant.
