One could call this the last gasp of the potager….
There were a few green tomatoes left, I pulled the basil out but kept a basket full of leaves to use and the last Delicata squash was smaller than usual.
They all seemed good candidates for an end-of-summer quiche.
Or would that be a beginning-of-autumn quiche?
Whatever the name – we were happy. There was even a slice left for mon mari to nibble on at lunch the next day.

The pool, which was to be finished by the middle of summer, is almost done.
The deck is finished now on all 3 levels, although it’s hard to tell in this photo.
The stairs are all finished. He needs to build / finish the railings and open up the existing balcony.
Then we can admire it all winter. The water temperature in the pool is a balmy 66F (19C) so I think I will pass on swimming.
On another note…. We were in Bordeaux last week and had lunch on the quai.
The cruise ship you see in the distance is The World – the largest private residential ship on this world.
I’m not certain I would like my permanent residence to be on a cruise ship….
The quai in Bordeaux is where the outlet mall it.It seems to be a bit more high end and expensive than the outlet malls I’ve seen in the US. The only store I bought anything in was Lindt, the Swiss chocolatier – and everything appeared to be regular retail price.
Still…. Chocolate!
Lovely quiche, but I’d have to change half of it based on what’s available here 🙁
The decking is awesome!! It’s just beautiful. Truly. It’s going to be so nice next year to have friends over and sit out looking at your million dollar view. You’ll be glad of its size then!
I pulled the tomato plants from the garden. The hard frost had hit and what tomatoes were left that I’d hoped would turn a bit more before being picked had turned transparent from the frost so into the compost bags they went, plant, fruit and all. So did the pepper plants whose peppers turned the same transparent color.
I watched a special on that residential cruise ship a couple years ago. If I had the money, I could do that for a year or two. Wonderful way to see part of the world in true comfort!
I am very happy with the deck. I even went out this afternoon, in the fading sunshine, sat on the steps on stared at the cows for a bit lol
I could see spending a year or 2 on that ship. The staterooms look enormous – at least from the shore….
Yes, often outlets are a con I feel and suck you into their vortex of buy buy buy but not at particularly low prices .
The ones I’ve been to in the US were great, but here they’re more like designer show rooms than outlet stores. I don’t think they have gotten the idea quite right lol
You were ripped off 🙂 Lindt is rarely full price in the supermarket in my experience here…
Well…. I would have been ripped off if I’d bought anything available at the supermarkets, but I only bought things one can’t buy anywhere else. The regular chocolates I wait for the buy 2 get the 3rd free sales lol
