I managed to get one more job off the "get done before hubby gets home" list - cleaned out the fridge. I cannot recall the last time I cleaned it although it always get a quick wipe weekly, it still needed a really good thorough cleaning. No pictures of that, just lots of veggies, eggs, cheese and booze (yes, booze!)
I cashed in $20 worth of Superstore points (Loblaws) today to get even more veggies so the fridge is full for hubby's return on Friday. Only 2 more sleeps!
I love tomatoes - free ones are best! x
ReplyDeleteFree anything is best but extras from a friends garden totally rocks!
DeleteYou can't beat fresh homegrown veg!

She has hinted at other produce in my future :) I might do some bribing.
DeleteNice looking tomatoes! We were given some as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to give our fridge a thorough cleaning too but I will wait another week or so and do it just before we leave for the winter. Glad you got another item stroked off your list. You must be feeling a bit better now?!

I do feel better - thanks for asking!
DeleteI need to deep clean my fridge and freezer, too. And get gardening. I deeply desire to dig get gardening and save money growing delicious veggies. :D
ReplyDeleteYou need a patch my dear! I have tried containers but some things just like the ground better.
DeleteWe're on the home stretch with our tomatoes, but now have a giant plant of cucumbers blooming. Those are the boys favorites, and they are very excited to pick them each day.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how the green ones tasted!
I love the picture of your son so proudly holding the cucumber - so adorable!
DeleteThat's one reason I enjoy gardening. It seems like free food, but of course there's the cost of seeds, sets, fertilizer, etc., that needs to be calculated into the total cost. Even if it isn't cheaper, I know where my produce came from and how it grew. Speaking of tomatoes, I had two volunteer grape tomato plants that have been producing like crazy. I love the sweet flavour and crunchy texture. - Margy
ReplyDeleteFresh tomatoes always taste so much better than store bought. If we get any more I am thinking salsa is in my future.
Delete"Clean out the fridge." Now that's something I haven't thought about for a while...
ReplyDeleteTomato, tamata... Here it's tomate
Tomate - I like it!
DeleteI love how you do 'two more sleeps' and I do days and a wake up! I often admire my sister's fridge - it is always spotless! But then maybe Mother keeps it clean! Here's the mincemeat bars recipe. I couldn't find an email to send it to......
ReplyDeleteFruit and Nut Bars
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
27 ounce jar of mincemeat
1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 400*. In large mixing bowl combine dry ingredients. Add oil and milk, stirring til mixture is well moistened and crumbly. Reserving 1 cup of the crumb mixture - press remainder firmly on bottom of a 13 X 9 inch baking sheet. (I greased my pan.) Top with mincemeat. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top; then the nuts. Bake 30 minutes or til golden brown. Cool and cut into bars. Store loosley covered at room temperature.
Thanks Linda! I am definitely making this the moment I get some more time. Mom is very fond of mincemeat too - she will love this recipe.
DeleteI love when my friends bring me veggies from their gardens! Always so much better than what I get in the stores too! Glad to know by now hubby is home and things are back to normal for you :)
ReplyDeleteAh fresh produce, I am giving her some Peach jam in repayment, her hubby loves it.
DeleteThat is a good job done! I always enjoy the feeling after cleaning the fridge.
ReplyDeleteNot long now until Hubby returns. I bet you can't wait.

He is back safe and sound, but that was a bloody long 12 days
DeleteMMMmmmmmmm, BLTs! You got me thinking!
ReplyDeleteYou have gotten so so much done. You need to head over here and help me. I'll make you a sandwich!
Girlfriend, I would, but you do live quite the drive (only about five days worth :)
