First days of August

Not much is happening right now in my life. August has always been one of the happiest months in a year for me, and hopefully this year it will also be so. Our garden is giving us lots of vegetables every day, but I am a lazy cook and I stick to the classical and simple food. I baked chocolate cookies yesterday in the afternoon, for a colleague of mine who is always very kind to share his crop of figs with me. I have received lots of peaches, apples and raspberries. There's so much of everything that it is impossible to consume all that food at once. I made peach jam the other day. I will have to bake something with apples, otherwise they will rot. The eggplant season has started and I will have to give away paprikas...

A week or so ago Ž gave me this green kayak as a birthday present. We tried it on a nearby creek. I can hardly wait to try it on a river nearby. It is too heavy for me to lift it alone, so I will have to buy a cart on wheels. I named it Zelenc, the Green One.
And yes, mountains will have to wait this year. :)

Karma for today: Wherever you are, whatever you encounter is meant to provide you with exactly what you need right now. (Though I often wonder, why some events have to happen, when we suffer so much.)

Classic and simple food looks good to me!

Mmm, tvoja zelenjava me dela lačno in krivo, ker si ne vzamem časa za kuhanje in večkrat zgnijejo vse dobrote.
Srečno z Zelencem, čudovito darilo :)

I'd love to share one of your "simple" meals anyday. And congrats on that wonderful gift! So many adventures await you... I can tell!

:) Believe it or not, but I have never cooked a meal for more than two people at once.

Zelenc is at the moment waiting for some rain as the water in our creek is very low.
