A bit too much standing to peel and cut the peaches - next time, must remember to sit at the dining table to do so. <br />Beet curry is a favorite way to eat beets and their greens. :)<br />Glad you had a walk to the river and the creek.

How satisfying to have those jars to store for future use. I'm intrigued by your beet curry. I'm sure it must be delicious.<br />We wandered down to the river and to the creek that runs into it. In one spot in the creek there were logs and debris in the water which have totally disappeared with the rush of water that must have come down with the torrential rains on Friday. It would have been interesting to see happening.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-79638729436961050472022-05-29T14:53:45.158-07:002022-05-29T14:53:45.158-07:00Boy those peaches look good Bless.

You could, probably, not add any milk, at all and just saute the beets or just add a little water, if you prefer; I often make certain vegetable curries like that, without adding milk. :)<br />Thank you; I'm glad the health checks went well and so happy to harvest peaches from my tree!<br />Best wishes to your niece and I hope you are having a lovely time.

The peaches were sweet and good, but, a lot of them had something that is called "split pit" - where the pit inside is either split or not formed at all! Some of them had split all the way to the stem, leaving an opening at the top, which allows air/fungus/insects, etc. to enter the peach. I didn't find any insects, but, one or two had started to spoil from the inside out. Even with the split pit, the peaches were fine to eat (as long as they were not moldy inside). I've been reading up on what causes split pits and will be discussing it with M, later.<br />Yes, I have a cup of tea (with milk and sugar) when I first wake up and then, have brunch around 2:00 p.m., usually. But, yesterday, I forgot to eat, until my aunt called (while I was still getting the peaches into the jars) and as part of the brief conversation, asked if I had had lunch! LOL. <br />I like beetroot curried like that, or, boiled with salt and pepper. In Sri Lanka, we used to often make a tiered vegetable sandwich for parties, with a layer of beetroot, a layer of carrots, and a layer of asparagus between slices of bread, cut into small "fingers". :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-35564629301907056592022-05-29T13:44:46.043-07:002022-05-29T13:44:46.043-07:00Yes, I'm proud of my four jars of canned peach...Yes, I'm proud of my four jars of canned peaches! I used the larger, pint sized jars, this time (the last time I canned peaches - which was also the first time - I used the half-pint jars). For me, the time consuming part was peeling and cutting the peaches. <br /><br />You are welcome - I thought of you when I wrote out how to make the beetroot curry and wondered if you'd make a note of it! :D I didn't add any onions, this time, but, you can add onions, too; saute them along with the cut up beets and leaves. This is my favorite way to eat beetroot.<br /><br />Glad you were able to relax and rest over the weekend. Hope the week ahead is a good one!<br /><br /><br />Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-32322339265470112182022-05-29T13:08:20.669-07:002022-05-29T13:08:20.669-07:00Hi Bless, I'm not very fond of coconut milk, b...Hi Bless, I'm not very fond of coconut milk, but with the beets in that a curry, it sounds really good.
