Green Tomatoes

On Thursday, I had another sewing day with Meemaw. We [mostly she] made a new* chenille bedspread for our daybed out of an old bedspread she already had. It is so cute. We also made two black pillow cases out for the top. Next week we're going to get together for a few more pillows.

Meemaw and Peepaw have a garden. Our dinner consisted of steak, salad, tomatoes, and roasted green tomatoes, the last being my reccomendation. I'd had green tomatoes for my first time at Sage with Paul, Leslie, and Preston the night before we moved to Holdenville. They were so good. I think they were even better last night. We sliced them about 1/2 inch thick, coated them lightly with oil, and put some salt and pepper on them. Meemaw also had some spicy Seasonall that we dashed sprinkled on. We then roasted them in the oven at 450 for 20 minutes - 10 minutes on each side. Meemaw and Peepaw also have 15 chickens. Peepaw made scrambled ["fluffy"] eggs for dinner on Wednesday. I don't eat scrambled eggs, but Cora had at least 6. It was pretty amazing.

I can't wait to have a big gigantor garden someday. I love that you just walk out and pick the food for your meal. Nothing tastes better than fresh fruits and vegetables. I also like washing dirt out from under my fingernails and mud from between my toes. Tending a garden would be so rewarding.
