Friday, August 22nd.

After a busy day running around town, updating car insurance, banking, doctor's appointment and playing in the park we came home and crashed again. Fortunately the wife is on the ball and made a potato, tomato, and eggplant casserole. Baked with cheese and spices it was another lovely light evening meal. Beside the casserole came the creamy garlic coleslaw salad. The real crowd pleaser (okay I loved it) was the first batch of fresh from the garden salsa made this year. 4 varieties of tomatoes with two types of pepper, diced onions, diced garlic, salt and vinegar. It has been a long year waiting to make the fresh stuff again but it is so nice now that it is back. The garlic was great and I just need to cut back on the amount of onion I am using. To hot for the kids even without the chili's. But I loved it. Strangely fall already seems to be in the air. I sure hope we get to enjoy the fresh produce on the vine for a few weeks. Gotta start thinking about making this years batch of salsa. Good times.
