What are you reading now?
I'm reading Juice by Tim Winton, a dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel.
Kill the oligarchs, I say.
Kill them now before their madness kills our planet Earth.

Today I canned Caponata.
It's a good way to use up all the zucchinis and cucumbers... and tomatoes, sweet peppers...

We're harvesting figs and crabapples today.
Drying the figs and juicing the crabapples for jelly and fruit wine.

What r u reading now?
David Nicholls' novel, You Are Here, is a romance with much humour.
The Secret History of the Rape Kit reads like a true crime detective story.
Reading from romance to rape.

Smile for the camera.
I love the brindle-like pattern of Vintage Wine tomatoes.
and they taste good, too.
