Pork chops

Last week my friend killed one of their pigs and she gave me these two chops. I don't usually eat pork but I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth! They weigh 2 pounds ( or 0.80 kilos) This is more meat then we would eat in a week.

Tomato glut

My neighbour gave me a lot of Tomatoes so I made Pasta Sauce. That should last me a few weeks!

Pastel de nata

I had a go at making the little custard pies that we had for breakfast in Portugal. Delicious!

Lunch

Just been out for lunch at the Waggon and Horses pub. very nice. It means I don't have to cook this evening as I shall be out at the W.I.

Judging !

How quickly the 1st Saturday in August comes around, then it's my judging day. Here are some pictures of the agricultural show. I have to taste everything on the table in the first picture. Then I am supposed to join all the judges for a big slap up lunch. Obviously I cannot eat a crumb after my judging so I miss out!
The vegetables are a treat to behold. The marrow alone would feed a small town!

Boston

Graham and I went to Boston today as we were bored at home. The weather was boiling and we were lucky to get an outside table at our usual restaurant. We shared the table with another couple and had a nice chat. They are excavating some medieval buildings in the centre of Boston so the market has been moved to another part of town. Very interesting. Later we went to see a friend who is a pig farmer and were given some pork chops. I will let you know how different the meat is from that which you buy in the shops, later when we eat it. A nice day.
