i noticed this morning, as i was pruning more of the rampant tomato bushes i have out there, that i actually had, buried under the brush, a few strawberries - ripe and ready. two of them. quite a harvest. so i picked them and since garvie was nowhere to be found this fine morning, took them down to mishi and we ate like champs. one strawberry each. that i grew. there. nice.
i also noticed a tomato turning red. the first one. i'll take a picture when it gets better, but i'm pretty excited i must tell you - ever since i pruned the sasquatch bushes back i've been afraid nothing would happen..well, it just may be. next year i will be adhering to katherine's rules of tomato growing but this year i'm just left to hope and pray - not to god of course...he has little to do with my growing and success at growing tomatoes...truly.
and speaking of red...i went to kits beach today. i thought that since i live so close now, or again, i should really see what's what down there...and really, not much is going on. some hacky sackers (yawn...)...some two piece swimsuit action and a lot of guys who shouldn't have their shirts off - me included in that. some of the two piecers should re-consider as well but who am i to say...rock what ya got i guess...it wasn't too hot down there today and there was a nice breeze coming off of the water so, all in all...pretty good...
megan's on her way over here with lena...and we're gonna bbq like champs...who's lena? well, that's kind of a long story...but simply, kinda - and try and keep up...lena used to be married to a guy i used to ride off road with - many years ago (20 years ago maybe...), they divorced and lena moved to montreal. she also knows marcy and through her association with marcy, and me dating marcy, started reading this blog and has done so for a long time...she's also given me advice on my back issues as she's a super duper pilates teacher and all around fit woman. she's also an artist who work is generally by way of video and photographs. anyhow...she met megan at a studio here and they figured out we all know each other and now she's coming to dinner...and i'm pleased as punch to see her face to face after about 15 years of not. i'm sure she'll give me a better run down of how we know each other...
ok...i've gotta get cookin'...

well, i'm honoured to be hot linked here! thanks for a fantastic meal and great company (you and the lovely ms. barnes), not to mention the swag - what a night!
i didn't know you rode with dave and i know it's jessica stein who introduced us but i cannot remember for the life of me how i came across the blog.
you will have to come to montreal so that i can return the culinary favour and/or let me lose in your kitchen some day, those cupboards are sweet magic.
