Maggy May's Journal, 09 Oct 20

Hi peeps
I've been faffing around in the garden again this morning, so I've decided to pick the rest of the tomatoes even though they're still very green, its getting cold at night and I don't want them to go bad on the vine, believe it or not I've had loads of lovely yellow tomato's a great variety called Sun Gold, its amazing how they are managing to ripen cos there's not been that much sun around for a good few weeks ..... Over the next couple of days I'll be getting my Butt into gear and start to make my usual green tomato chutney (with slight variations) some pickled toms and Salsa Verde, But best of all I just love to eat fried green tomatoes its one of my go-to foods when I can't be bothered to cook much..... Oh, Bl**dy Hell It's raining again, so I can't go out and finish off what I started, Not to worry only eight more vines to pick from so let's hope it's gonna be dry tomorrow, in the meantime here are some pics of my produce, The green toms are an Italian cooking tomato, this year I've only had 20 Red ones from them but I'll put some in a box and hope they might turn, fingers crossed...... BFN MM x

Gilly B Do you mean the Demon Drink or a Naughty but nice type of food??? Geordie Fat Boy I've never heard of it, but I'm going to google it right now

I mean the demon drink MM, sorry to let the side down but I'll be pretty fed up if I've not lost any weight. I've been swimming, working out, cycling, walking. Totally knackered every night but no loss so far in a week. Kept well below my RDI too!

Gilly B you may be building up your muscles, you do quite a lot of activities which can affect your weight, my daughter is a lot like you, she's a netball coach, she runs, always at the gym and has completed the London Marathon, she loses the inches but does not lose the weight her trainer told her that a cup full of muscle weighs heavier than a cup full of fat and if your clothes fit you better your quids in, I think he has a point there!!!

I know MM but its always a reassuring thing to see the number on the scales go down. I'm 5ft 7. Broad shoulders, big build and despite my unfixable back I'm pretty fit. Trouble with me is I'm too impatient! I've aimed at losing a stone by Xmas and I know I can do that. BTW have you tried green tomato tarte tatin? It's amazing!

No I haven't, but that could be my naughty treat this Sunday ..... just found a recipe for the tarte tatin by the late Gary Rhodes, Good old google what would I do without it

Aww, good. Glad you've looked at it. I was gutted when Gary died. Such a lovely man. I've got a couple of his cookery books

Maggy, your tomatoes look great much better than my crop. And guess what, I too picked all my green tomatoes today. Afraid that my garden been neglected and is going back to the wild but the wildlife love it. At last I got aspecialoist appointment for my Carpal tunnel , been waiting a year now. I still cannot remember how to post pics up here but I am sure it will come back to me. Keep up the good work with your sober october,you have done so well. Lily xx
