Mashed Potato with Onion Gravy and Pork Chop

How are you today friends? Have you noticed that time flies so fast? It's already Hump day tomorrow.  I thought I just went to mass yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but, I don't want it so soon. Uh uh, I need more time to save for buying gifts. Anyway, are you ready for Thanksgiving? If you do, good for you! Oh my goodness, I am  not!

Hubby and I just hangout at home today, I was doing my blog updates so; I told him he had to fix for lunch. He gladly fix for less than 30 minutes and here's what we have on the table. Fresh and crunchy tomato in Olive Oil, mashed potato with onion gravy sauce and tender pork chop.

Oh my goodness, right now I am so full. I think I will need a power nap in few minutes. How about you? What's for lunch?

Vegetable and Fruit Garden

I have a vegetable and fruit garden in our backyard. After a good number of harvest, my tomatoes quit producing more flowers. I decided to pull out the dying vine and plant the growing okra. They grow so fast and I have about almost 30 of them. My husband is excited since Okra is his favorite vegetable. Now, I am searching for information on how to make a pickled okra. For sure, harvest time will be fun. My bitter melon is growing so good as well as the green beans. Fruits started showing up with my lemon, calamondin, and sour orange. I can't wait to use them in my kitchen.

Summer Fresh Produce

I like short road trips and when it is summer here in Florida, fresh produce like the picture below is sold along the side of the road. The prices ranges from $1 to $7 so; it's really a good deal. The bag of orange is 3 for $10.The sweet watermelon is $2 each, peaches and tomatoes are $3. The prices differ especially when there are competitions displaying in the area and it's more cheaper. How about in your place? Do you have farmers in your neighborhood selling their fresh produce on the roadside too?
