The first of our tomatoes were plucked from the vine today. There are many more in various stages of ripeness, but these are the first. I also harvested some massive onions. Okay. . . So they're the smallest onions ever, but that's what we got. I'll be starting some herbs this week to fill the empty pots on the balcony.
For my birthday, Tina bought me a cookbook that goes into curing and pickling, so I took the opportunity to tackle some of the recipes in the book. My sister-in-law, Tina's brother, and I made some butter and I began the process of curing some pork belly. In seven days, I should have bacon. I also pickled some green beans (pictured below).
Finally, I began a sponge for some ciabatta that I'll be baking tomorrow evening. I'm looking forward to fresh bread with homemade butter (and maybe a slice of tomato).
