Breakfast was a bowl of cold cereal with banana slices, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of coffee.
Lunch was a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich and a bottle of Saranac Pale Ale.
Gretchen and I pulled the snow pea plants out of the garden and picked the remaining peas. We also got four more crook-neck squash, and a good bunch of green beans.
We compost our kitchen, yard, and garden waste. The garden waste has a tendency to produce volunteers. This year the major volunteer is a large hybrid squash. It looks like a cross between a butternut and a delicata.
This little fellow was camouflaged on one of the leaves.
After the yard and garden work, Gretchen and I took a break for another bottle of Saranac Pale Ale.
For dinner, I made a zucchini, summer squash, and tomato gratin. This was based on Delia Smith’s Courgettes and Tomatoes au Gratin, though I used half summer squash, a 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes (ours are not ripe yet), and Cheddar cheese. Gretchen says she liked it better than Ratatouille. We had it with a slice of Italian bread, and two glasses of Bolla Sangiovese Di Romagna.
MmMmMmmmmm… Grilled Cheese and tomatoes…. MmMmmmmmm
Me, too. My Mom used to make them for me when I was a kid. I did not know any one else made them.
