I am soo excited to share with you the dish I made today for lunch!

I have always wanted to be able to say all veggies in this dish was from my backyard and today is THAT day 😀

I have to thank Jettos for being such an inspiration and their patience with me and the willingness to teach me and answer my noobie question.

Also thank you to my friend Jess who gave me the eggplant seedling which is the star of this dish;)

A slice of the finished parmigiana.. Mmmm… Delicious!!

This is what my olives looked like after 8 days of neglect. There was some mould but it’s easy to just scoop them out.

Note: If you really don’t want any mould, then you can use more olive oil on the top to make a seal.

Soo I showed a friend of mine the post from June last year and I told her that my cabbage has now grown 5 heads!!

Thought best I give an updated post re its progress it’s doing REALLY WELL!

Guess what we were given today!!?

Mom and Dad gave us a bucket full of olives from their tree to preserve.

First thing I did was to sort them out into 3 categories

Greens, Mixed [Green and Black] and Black.

I had to painstakingly cut 4 slits in the olives. They were too beautiful to bash like my 1st batch.

I decided to do the green ones 1st as they need a longer time in the brine.
