The tomatoes that I grow are very good, even if I say so myself. And so they should be with all the dung I had dumped on the plot (see distant post). The plants are just about at the end now. This is what I'm having for lunch today, the cuore di bue (bull's heart=beef tomato) with decent olive oil, fresh mozzarella, basil and good commie bread. No wine on the table as it is lunchtime, but as I sank two industrial G&Ts, a bottle of red and, bizarrely, a large calvados (where did that come from?) last night, it wouldn't be a good idea anyway. Very hot and muggy today, storms are forecast with a subsequent temperature drop of 10 degrees (in foreign money). Summer's on the way out so we should all start drinking more I say.

OOh what a lovely plate of tomatoes. I myself have just polished off four rounds of Irish Wheaten Bread, whatever that is, from Mr Tesco, our local baker. With it I had butter and ginger jam. We too have had rain. Nice weather for quarks. Talking of which, a friend of mine rang yesterday, wanted to know; had Ron collided with anything recently, and he hadn't realised you had a pet newt, Ron. have you?
Oh crikey, I've gone again haven't I? Time for a little lie down.
What a lovely lunch Ron. I made a proper cornbeef hash on Thursday night with a recipe from my Lea & Perrins Cookbook. Mountains of fried spuds and onions in it, all washed down with Fullers London Porter in my George V straight glass.
I had a cheese and lettuce sandwich with Hellman's Mayonaise. I did bake my own bread though. Well. The bread machine did. The 'French' recipe. Takes six hours. Quite delicious and easy to polish off the whole loaf in one session. Yum yum.
I'm going to have a biscuit presently; possibly a digestive. Any good?
Corn beef hash is really only a poor imitation of 'Kugalis', a good one of which demands six eggs, a kilo of floury potatoes, 500g of streaky bacon, a big onion and a can of condensed milk. Ah Fred, if you could cook me proper Kugalis, you would have my heart....
Nothing I do is a poor imitation of anything Alice. So watch it with your welding torch and big oily spanners.
