Beach and Veggies

Yesterday we popped down to Sisters Beach – keeping up with the lovely sunshine while it lasts

Wore the parents out a bit… ended up strolling for about 4kms!

Sisters is such a pleasure to walk along with its big expanse of white sand

Having a cuddle and a laugh with my Mum

Dipping feet into the water

Wasn’t really cold either!

There were a heap of cute little sea snail trail artworks on the beach yesterday!

And my favourite coloured rocks

Dad took lots of these photos… I pinched his phone to take a few snaps too because I was daft and left my camera at home!

Cool ripples in the sand

And brilliant blue skies

Back at home… the food keeps on coming along!

I made a batch of tomato sauce (I did beetroot pickles yesterday)
We’d run out of sauce. Jeff likes this one… nothing fancy added.
This should keep him going a while

These funny little things are capsicums! I’ve looked up a recipe for red capsicum relish so I might give that a whirl…

Did a quick pick of the tomatoes and our daily corn ration… its still amazing and tasty… just loving it!

Carrots and potatoes… still haven’t gotten into that potato patch to dig the lot up!

And lastly… chillies!! I’ll cut and deseed these and wait for more so I can make up the sweet chilli sauce! We’ve been without it for so long – am excited to see such lovely chillies growing in the hothouse.

Hope your Easter Weekend has been excellent!!

Cheers!

  1. I’d be excited to know your sweet chili sauce recipe. I assume you can it for long storage onto use over winter? The other pepper look like Scotch Bonnets to me…. nice a hot.

    1. I’ll find you a link… I am sure I’ve posted it before… possibly probably?? lol Lasts for Aaages (if you don’t guts it like us) Its the best recipe!!
      The little peppers are a capsicum, … red pepper??? No heat. Sweet.

      1. Thanks, Lisa! I. Going to give it a try this summer when our chili’s are on! Ha… I remembered that post once you linked me to it. Been reading your adventures for quite a while and enjoying it!

        1. Thank-you so much for following along the Tasmanian Adventures! Love seeing long term people popping up here and there in the comments!
          I cut my chillies and deseeded… I am about 50gm short to do a batch.. more should be ready soon!!!
          Feel free to ask again for the recipe if you lose track of it by the time your chillies are ready! 🙂
