I've had a very lazy day today as James has been off doing a community overtime event for work. So, I've been tidying up indoors, given the garden a good soak and got caught up online. Well, the DW posts anyway, I've still got so much TV to watch, and yes, I know, the tiniest violin needed for me.

Tomorrow we're taking my MiL out for a belated birthday lunch, so I've enjoyed the quiet do very little day. Even enjoying the sunshine and the heat, due to not having to actually do anything but waft around in it.

The first thing that came to mind here was beach sandwiches. Which were the chopped salad cream, egg and tomato sandwiches my mam used to make for us when I was a kidlet. We'd head off to the beach, and have a picnic, and the sandwiches were always soggy, flat, and always had sand in them, no matter how carefully they were handled. But, at the same time, they always tasted delicious, especially so as mam used to buy a carton of chips to share while eating them.

A more up to date summer food. I was in the garden picking strawberries, raspberries, chillis and pea pods yesterday. There aren't that many of them as I only have a small garden, and the tomatoes haven't started to ripen yet. But, I thought the bowl looked pretty.

Lazy days FTW!!

Lovely garden haul, yes!

It's been a peaceful day. But now James is back, and I need to haul my lazy self off this chair and go to ponder what to make for tea.

The berries were eaten for breakfast, just enough for two. Maybe I should share the peapods for tea *g*

Bowl looks pretty indeed though maybe not to eat all at the same time 😁

[turps]

Ha, yes, I wouldn't recommend eating that combo together :D

omg your peas look so gooooood *_* I regret not planting any - next year!

Your beach sandwiches sounded A+++ esp with chips!

[turps]

I'm regretting not planting more peas, they always taste so good straight from the plant. It was a miracle any made it inside, really.

Chips make everything better!

Yay for lazy days! I hope you enjoy lunch out.

What a great looking bowl of produce! I love fresh peas right out of the pod!

[turps]

I did enjoy lunch out, and as a bonus, no having to make a meal tonight as we're both not hungry.

Fresh peas from the pod are delicious!

[rikes]

That looks delicious!!!

[turps]

They tasted good, too!

Well, I'm assuming the chillis do as I haven't eaten those yet.

What a lovely memory of your mam's sandwiches!

Your bowl looks very pretty, as well!

[turps]

They were tasty sandwiches, even with the sand *g*

Thank you!

Your beach sandwiches reminds me of the sandwiches we always brought on winter ski tours when I was a kid. Fried eggs on bread that had gone soft from the butter & egg but tasted even more delicious because of it :-)

That's such a delicious-looking summer plate!

[turps]

Those winter ski tour sandwiches sound very tasty. There's something special when the bread goes soft like that.

I've just picked more raspberries this morning. I'm not getting loads, but a nice steady supply. :)
