A busy day

I've had quite a productive day, even if has all involved feijoas. I promise not to go on about them too much in the future but decided that I may as well show you what I've been up to today.

First of all a bucketful went outside the gate, this photo was after half of them were taken. I leave a notice on the local fb fruit and vege swap page and let people just take them. It seems to work. 

After I'd done the usual daily chores like bedmaking and dishes and such I decided to get cracking on the fruit sitting around the kitchen. So I ended up stewing about two and a half kilo less one chopped cupful. I know, it doesn't look very appetising in this state does it :)

The cupful of chopped fruit was made into a feijoa loaf. I have a pot luck lunch after church tomorrow so thought I'd try it out on the congregation :)

It looks okay. Bob and I might try a slice each for supper and if it's not okay I'll duck into the supermarket on the way and pick up a pottle of cherry tomatoes. 

And for the two and a half kilo and all the work it takes to prepare them I ended up with these two small containers. As I've said before they are very labour intensive for little return - but I hate seeing food go to waste. 

I don't intend to repeat the day tomorrow :) but seeing as we're only a couple of weeks into a six week season I'll have to keep on top of them. Bob's taken them down to his audiologist and Vanessa, youngest daughter, took a big grocery bagful around her clients and gave them all some. They've also been put in a couple of workplace staff rooms. 

That's about as exciting as life has been lately but that's okay, I'm not complaining. Dull is good occasionally.

And on that note I'll finish.

Until next time,

Diana
