I don't usually look this grumpy….honestly !
These are some of the tasks I can do with my feet up in the afternoon sun…….these are some new tomatoes we were persuaded to try, they are called Orange Beef…….they look like slices of Orange on your plate…..we think we prefer the red ones !
However, you cannot get over how fleshy they are, very few pips in these.
Other people cut open fruit and find Christ, or the Virgin Mary……Well I found an Ent in my red cabbage !!
Please put a comment if you see someone else there………:O)
Some of the vegetables and flowers from this year……….
This is an Antlion……we have never seen one before, maybe its the hot weather, it measures 6cm long , in this picture , so double that for wingspan ……which when its flying around your head it quite BIG !!

As an adult it is rarely seen, but as a voracious larva….don’t get too near !
With the temperature around 33C most days, a good way to cool off……….It has been HOTTER since this picture, and Dave and I are now sleeping in the living room, with all windows open…….during the night of the 21st it was 30C at 11.00PM and not a breathe of wind. Its South of France, but without the breeze its stifling.:O(……
Having made sushi last year, and enjoyed it (the veggie versions) I was keen to get together with Tom, a sushi fiend himself, and see what we could cook up together……in the end Tom did most as he wanted to try out my sushi roller ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leifheit-PerfectRoll-Party-Sushi-Maker/dp/B003CP0C08/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1345639026&sr=8-3 ) verses his rolling mat, we agreed they both have their own advantages and disadvantages, the roller needing you to do the first part of the rolling yourself….not what it says on the tin !!
So here are our Makizushi (rolls ) and Nigirizushi (mound of rice with fish or veg on top)
We thought that the three hours spent making them, were worth the 30mins it took to eat them…….
ENJOY !
The Sushi monster……….
Two Sushi monsters…….and the ladies !
