Tomatoes!

We have been getting food in abundance the last few weeks. When we went on Saturday, ( to pick a food parcel for Natalia and Dan,) the tomatoes were rampant, but green. With the weather this week overcast and grey, when not raining, I was looking up green tomato chutneys. But hooray! I went this morning for salad and chard and amongst the foliage, some tomatoes were ripe and bursting after all. - There's hope for the grapes outside my kitchen door.

things to do with patty pan squash

So, what to do with the patty pan squashes....
well I don't like pickles so didn't try that. I tried a drop of chili oil then chopped tomato and feta, herbs then baked them and that was good. So I thought, lets use them as pie or quiche shells. (I don't eat wheat or pastry so an alternative would be a find!) So I had a go at a chevere quiche and a little apple thing..

with not bad results. Now I'm gonna be more experimental. Rub flavors in before adding the filling, try a meat filling, a custard before the apple. I could be on to a winner... if only I was a better cook! Any ideas very welcome.
