2 markets today

Today after dropping my DS16 off at Tafe, we planned a trip to Kiama, to the local Farmer's Market....we had never been down there, so we though we would go for a drive and check it out....There were lots of fresh fruit and vegetables to be bought....and of a high quality too.

 

DH kept looking out to sea, checking out the ocean....In the distance you could see a light craft bobbing up and down. This tells me it's starting to get a bit rough out there...We are getting itchy feet and need to get back on the water soon. I love going fishing.....

 

As we had many jobs to complete today, we decided to go back home to get stuck in, so if the weather is nice, we may go fishing tomorrow. On the way back home, noticing it was still early, we decided to go to Warrawong markets as well. Lucky we did, because on the way out, I found this huge batch of green tomatoes....That was all the stallholder had left. I asked, "How much?" and he replied "Ten dollars a box.", I said back to him, "How about $15 for the two?" and that's how I got them home...I am yet to weigh them, but they are pretty heavy... I haven't done Green Tomato Pickles for a few years now, so it will be good to have them in the stockpile. Look for the post in a couple of days..

I won't get time to cook these up over the weekend, but I will do them during the week some time.

 

 

Things that need to get done this weekend.......

 

• Repair the front gate.
• Make 2 batches of home brew

• Cut up animal fat and start rendering
• Check that I have all engredients to make soap from animal fat

 I also found this cane basket, that needed rescueing.....It is in a state of repair, but I like the idea of it having been around the block a few times.....it has a history, and now it is going to have a history with me as well.
