August 20, 2015. Tomato day

LOCATION:  Organic farm near Ukiah, California in NW part of state
WEATHER:  Cooler.  Highs in 90s

We have to pick tomatoes almost every day, as they are ripening fast.  We oriented George's friend Michelle to the garden, and she helped us pick.  I picked some arugula, mint, and baby kale for tonight's dinner recipe.  

The ants started getting into our apples and pears in the cool storage room, so we sliced up a bunch to put on the sun-drying board.  

After a salad lunch (of course), we relaxed.  George and Michelle went out again in the evening for more picking. They found some peppers and squash.  

Here we are showing off a new bottle of wine appropriately called 'Road Trip'.  It was highly recommended.  


This has been our road trip so far....

DINNER:  Fried chickpea salad from a Splendid Table recipe.  Besides the fried chickpeas, the salad consisted of baby kale, arugula, chopped mint, baby lettuce, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, scallions, cumin,  and garlic.  Topped with a yogurty vinaigrette. Good way to use garden produce!
