ON THE MENU MONDAY~ WEEK OF JULY 8, 2013




We are starting to harvest Early Girl tomatoes in our garden.  YIPPEE!!!!! I wait all year for summer tomatoes! There is nothing quite like them...  juicy and delicious and kissed-by-the-sun-good!

I get great satisfaction from a bowl of just picked tomatoes on my kitchen counter. It makes me feel like I am doing something so good for my family! If we were neighbors I'd bring some to your back door... with a couple of zucchini and a cucumber or two thrown in too!

This week I'm busy painting an O-L-D cabinet Napoleonic Blue and I'm finally starting to sew curtains for the living room and dining room... and other indoor activities. The oppressive heat and humidity have come to our neck of the woods and it is just too hot to go outdoors for any length of time... except to pick tomatoes and all the other veggies that are ready to harvest in my garden!

Now here's what's ON THE MENU...

  10. Sometimes I like it when the weather keeps me in because I get so much done. When we take our morning walk, if the beach is gorgeous, I want to sit there and read instead of clean house.

  13. Great tomatoes! Always rewarding and delicious. Wonderful light meal plan for the week. You inspired me to go lighter for my family. Also, more meatless. Happy summer!

  14. I have a counter full of our first red and yellow tomatoes for the season. We don't have a garden and only grow cherry tomatoes of our own, but our favorite Amish girls have returned to town and I bought a bucket full on Saturday. There is simply nothing better!
