While the Tomatoes Dry.
Summer is here it is 37 deg Cel here unusual for Blr. Global warming showing its effects. India is expected to be hit by a heat wave.
This weekend I have other plans. I started drying 2.5 kgs tomatoes. Half a kilo of salted the rest unsalted. This project exposed me to the happenings around me that I don't notice during the week. It is summer time and see what the other residents of the neighborhood are up to. I enjoyed my weekend just watching them. Now don't get me wrong it is not what you are thinking ;). It's nature watch time and BTW airplanes too fascinate me.
One flew over the nest.
The Games squirrels play
After much sweet calling there they are. Spot the two.
Whats this fruit? Can anyone tell. It is sour juicy and makes great flavoring in curry. The juice is astringent and with sugar can be made into a fresh drink.
Updated: My friend Vinaya enlightened me through mail that it is called Bilimbi.
