No portrait painting today! It is harvest time in our kitchen garden, in particular for the tomatoes. Beside ketchup and sauces, Helma makes sun-dried tomatoes. Based on two canvas stretchers that I had to hand I did some tinkering. (remember I wanted to be a carpenter?) With a number of slats, insect-screens, a hinge and four iron angle brackets. Maybe it turned out far too firm. It can stand rough handling, I’d say. When the tomatoes are dried in the sun, after two weeks, we will store them in olive oil. Moreover, that oil comes from the olive groves next to our garden, among others. We wonder how the sun dried tomatoes will taste! See some recipes.

Awesome Ben and I will share this with my daughter and brother who are avid gardeners and preservers.
I also found out that there is a very healthy snack cultivated in Valencia, Spain.

Here in Valencia people drink HORCHATA. That is made from these “tigernut” the CHUFA. Original from Sudan and Egypt. In the Valencian region you see “horchaterías”, some sort of coffee bar, but only for horchata.
