Sunday
=======
Lunch was the last of the corn, Kelly & Vi's herbed bread, Frank's pate, Jim's tomatoes (from last week, sliced and served in oil with smoked sea salt and dried herbs), country butter and one of the new chap's pickles: actually onions in balsamic vinegar, very dark and intensely flavoured.
After lunch we went picking blackberries: wife has boiled them to make apple-and-blackberry mix later, for crumbles and so on.
Dinner was chicken, buttered and with a pierced lemon stuffed into it. Steamed potatoes and string beans, with a sort of sauce of butter, tiny pieces of bacon, thinly sliced onion, quartered cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley. Dessert was raspberry-and-orange smoothies, made by wife: very refreshing.
Lots of halved tomatoes are now on racks in the oven at 50C, with the door slightly open: they should dry overnight and can then be bottled in oil.
