Sunday

It's the rainy season. It's warm and rainy and humid. I like it. Yesterday Nobu and I went out to buy a new computer (a MAC! Can you believe it?) and while we were walking through downtown there was a sudden downpoar. It was such a relief from the heat and humidity that everyone was smiling and laughing while running for shelter under trees and in doorways.

My garden is also enjoying the rain:

The leaves are HUGE!

This is the only zucchini I have been able to eat. Sad. They have...... blossom rot.

Balcony herb and tomato garden; they are loving the constant rain!

This little tomato is the first one to start ripening. I can't wait to pick some.

And, because it's going to be a damp rainy week that doesn't have a chance of clearing up...

I made waffles.

Yums.

My waffle iron is a piece of junk, so I had to bake them in the iron for about 7 minutes and then finish in the toaster oven for another 5. It was worth it, though. I used a yeast-raised waffle recipe found on Orangette, and added an extra teaspoon of sugar to the batter.
