I had a choice, tomato or garlic. Garlic it is. I been doing lately lot of preserving for the winter, getting fresh tomato, garlic, potatoes, parsley, basil and other. Since I am stuck in the kitchen most of the time why not take some pictures of the fruits and vegetables, and my baking goods and cooking dishes too. I don't do any fancy photo shoots for my cooking and baking. I just need some photos for my cookbook. Yes, I have cooking and baking journal. No, I am not going to publish anything, it is all for me - I do so much, change things around a lot, always perfecting my recipes, so I have to write them down because my memory isn't that sharp anymore.
Going back to my photo choices for this post. I do have nice texture photos of the tomato, but garlic happened to have more character, more different things happening, including a bit of dirt. This garlic is a winter garlic which is planted in the late fall and harvested in the next spring. It is amazing to know that it survives winter. I got this one from my mother. Speaking aside, this fall, I don't have a need to visit our local farmer's market yet, because most of the vegetables I been getting from my parents and my mother-in-law. Not to mention how nice it is to see my Matthew eating tomato, raspberries and black berries right from the plant. Unfortunately, I have to walk with him and watch him closely, so only picture I will have will be in my mind. He loves anything from plants and trees, but I have to be careful, because if comes to food he is very adventurous. I still cannot believe that summer is gone, and it is my second summer with Matthew.
