MOCHA MORNINGS

I did yesterday, for bruschetta!  I got called to serve Jury Duty for the first time in my life, so I had a lot of time on my hands to think about food!  While sitting in a hot court room, shoulder to shoulder with a hundred other people in Wilson County, I scrolled through Pinterest to try and decide what to cook for supper.  That’s when I came across my own recipe for Bruschetta.  My mouth waters right now just thinking about it.  The movie Julie and Julia inspired me for this recipe.  If you haven’t watched it, you totally should.  And if you haven’t ever made Bruschetta, you should totally do that too!  Bruschetta Recipe - Click Here 

 Exhibit A  Exhibit B  Obviously, the Topsy Turvy (Exhibit A) failed me.  I followed the directions, doing everything it said to do.  Even bought a fancy pants Topsy Turvy stand to hang them from and my tomato plant still did not survive.  Peppers, however, are still looking good.  Exhibit B, pictured above, shows the left over tomato plants that would not fit in the TT that we just threw into a planter we had in the back yard and added some fresh soil with no high expectations of it surviving. We were wrong. These tomato plants are thriving and look beautiful and I am actually hopeful that it might produce a tomato or two.  Topsy Turvy, I am so sad that you failed me.

 Back when I blogged, Green Thumb, Not I , I wasn't kidding....here's an update. I would find success with just the production of one tomato. Still keeping my fingers crossed. The tomato plant. Not looking so good. Getting worried..... I'm still hopeful. Maybe there's a pepper in my future after all....  The dog.  Still terrorizing the neighborhood....
