It's a long hot summer

3 months and counting of around 30° it's getting me beyond the limits of what a normal person can handle. the good news is that the tomatoes are growing nicely, the courgette plants have lots of flowers (i should have got a bunch of them to fry instead of waiting for the courgettes to grow...)
And other nice summer simple yet satisfying culinary pleasures.

Not from my garden, but a fine selection of ancient species tomatoes :


... and then chopped up with an onion olive oil and vinegar aka tomato salad:


A summer must to keep cool:


Italian courgette from the Gers
