It has been unusually cool here this summer, but still – Tomatoes! I couldn’t grow a thing in the ocean fog, so believe me when I say that this is a vast improvement.

Day 21 — A recipe
I always make Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving and usually end up with a lot left over, which usually ends up getting thrown away. 
This time I decided to try some over toasted Nutri-Grain Waffles and top it off with fresh whipped cream. It’s a very easy and yummy breakfast. Recipe below.
Waffles with home-made cranberry sauce and fresh whipped cream
Cranberry Sauce
4 cups cranberries (12 ounces)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water (I use orange juice
In a saucepan combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil rapidly for 5 minutes. Add cranberries. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or till skins pop.
