Harvesting tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and pimans

Fresh from our garden

The brinjal or eggplant is from our garden. We sliced it into 2 pieces and stuffed it with cheese and a little bit of miso. It turned out to be delectable and enjoyable. The brown stuff is fried iwashi (sardine fish) coated with bread crumbs. The lettuce is also fresh from our garden.

Lettuce & Takoyaki

This is the Flashy Butter Oak Lettuce which is grown in our garden. We have been harvesting and eating them almost everyday and given away some yet there are still more left in the ground.
Below are the Takoyaki or Octopus Balls prepared by my mother-in-law. She is such a good cook that her Takoyaki is comparable to the best in the restaurants.
