Sadonkorjuuta ja vaalimainoksia / Harvesting and election literature

Tanaan olemme korjanneet oman ruukkupuutarhan satoa. Tomaatti viela sinnittelee ja oksillaan on eri vaiheissa kypsymassa ainakin 20 kirsikkatomaattia. Niita siis odotellaan. Korianterinsiemenet on keratty kulhoon. Vihonviimeiset persiljat pistetty pakkaseen. Chilipippurit paatyvat nekin pakkaseen kunhan ne kerkean kasittelemaan. Ja basilika on myos keratty. Ajattelin aluksi etta kuivaan basilikan loput mutta paadyin sitten etta teen pestoa. Josko vahan myohemmin tanaan kunhan mieheni kaivautuu esiin keittiosta.
Talo tuoksuu ihanasti korvapuusteille, briochelle, ja nyt on tekeilla omenoista strudelia. NAM NAM NAM! Pakkaseen taitavat herkut paatya kun eilen kerkesin nektariineista peach cobleria tehda. Sitakaan ei ole keretty viela maistamaan. Tanaan ihan varmasti kuitenkin. En osaa sanoa viela oliko resepti hyva. Kaytin TATA reseptia. Helppo ja suomalaisille netista loytyy helposti ohjeistusta miten tehda tuota self raising flour (esim TAALTA).
Liivi on hihansuiden viimeistelya vailla valmis. Kokeilin sita isomman paalle. Se on sopiva juuri nyt. Ei tosin kauaa. Pienemmankin paalle kokeiltiin teosta. Muuten ok mutta kaula-aukko on ihan liian suuri. Eli hanen kohdallaan liivin kayttoa joudutaan odottamaan.
Gongressin vaalit lahestyy. Ja ovilla kierrellaan ahkerasti tuomassa vaalimainoksia ja puhumassa ehdokkaiden puolesta. On ihanaa olla valittamatta asiasta yhtaan kun ei voi aanestaa niin ei tarvitse potea huonoa omaatuntoa siita ettei ole asioista perilla.

PS: Kuvat herkuista ei ole valitettavasti mitaan ihmeellisia. :(

Today has been harvest day. We've been taking in all the last goodies from our pot garden. Tomatoes are still going with at least 20 cherry tomatoes on it's branches. So, we'll be waiting for them. Coriander seeds were picked to be used later. The very last parsley been put in freezer bags and frozen. Chili peppers will also end up in the freezer after I process them. And basil has also been harvested. I first was planning to dry it for cooking but decided then agains it and will make some pesto after my husband emerges from the kitchen.
The house smells divinely of cinnamon rolls, brioche and now of apple strudle. YUM YUM YUM! These will all end up in the freezer as I managed to whip up a peach cobbler yesterday. Haven't had a chance to taste it. Today surely. I cannot say if the recipe is good or not. I used THIS recipe. It was easy and those who can't get their hands on self raising flour can make it themselves (instructions are aplenty in the internet e.g. HERE).
The vest is done but tidying up the sleeve holes. I tried it on both girls: just perfect for the bigger one but that won't be the case for long, the neck line is too big for the little one, otherwise looking good. She will have to wait until she can use it.
Election day is getting closer. Volunteers are going around distributing election literature and speaking for their candidate. It feels wonderful not to care about this. As I cannot vote I don' t have to feel bad that I'm not following what's going on.

PS: Sorry the pictures of the goodies are not very good.
