Garden Harvest

Even though we cut back on the garden this year, we had a good crop of what we did plant. Also helped that the peach and nectarine trees were fully loaded even though they're only 4 years old. Plan is to plant 3 or 4 more fruit trees this fall and shift the garden to the lower part of the yard. 

Below are photos of what me and the kids picked this morning. I feel the sudden urge to make salsa.

Jalapeños are yummy.

Lady of the Feast

On the wall of a local restaurant I frequent, right above the table I normally sit at, watching as I eat.

Update: A Catholic friend of mine pointed out that I posted this on the same day as the Feast day of Our Lady of Guadcalupe. That wasn't intentional, but it's a pretty cool coincidence.

Keogh Crisps

Apparently there’s an Irish brand of potato chip named Keogh’s. How cool is that? They even have some intriguing flavors like Roast Beef & Irish Stout and Shamrock & Sour Cream.

Sadly it appears to be something that unique Ireland and the UK. As far as I can tell they aren’t available for sale in the U.S. But if anyone happens to see them for sale in their neck of the woods, please let me know. I will PayPal you some money to buy them and ship them to me.

And this gives me one more reason to take a trip to Ireland.
