We don't have our own special garden cooking set.
If we cook something, we use a regular kitchen set. We definitely have a separate second stove, we call it a summer kitchen.
So that we don't heat the house, especially on these hot days.
When I was younger I was obsessed with the idea of making a barbecue. I thought of coming up with an added water tap and a part for baking bread, baker.
But as I got older, I gave up on that idea.
We are slowly switching to a healthier food.
Although we do have a barbecue now and then
In our country it is First May Labor Day is celebrated, people go to nature, welcome May Day and of course it cannot be done without a barbecue.Sometimes I even think that we exaggerate a bit for May Day.
But that is a tradition that started back in the former great state of SFRY. Of course, that day cannot pass without mowing the grass.
So some "artists" write May Day in the grass while using a lawnmower.
We regularly drink coffee and eat ice cream in the garden in the shade.
Of course, as soon as the weather is nice, we eat in the garden under our favorite tree.
That's our favorite place to sit and drink coffee and eat there.
We avoid it when the wind is blowing, because then it wants to throw a cypress cone or cypress needles into our food or coffee.
Of course we also celebrated some birthdays there.
My son's birthday is now June 28th.
He is six years old.
In warm weather the tables and chairs are set up outside but as an unwritten rule everyone ends up under our tree on the stumps, nice shade
and the place is pleasant for everyone.
And today we made an early dinner served on a log
Who doesn't like young baked potatoes?
For the salad we added a little red onion, green and red basil
We also chopped a little Tušt (Portulaca oleracea).
Many consider it a weed, but it is actually an edible and very medicinal plant.
I love eating outside in warm weather. Your garden salad sounds lovely.
Thank you
Wow! It's a nice setup in the garden, and the food looks great too, not to mention it's very healthy. Well, I guess eating in the garden is gonna be a wonderful experience with that food and setup.
And yes, that plant we commonly consider a weed. They were growing abundantly in the garden and we just pulled them out. I'm not sure if they're the same as the one in the picture but I think, yes. I should be more careful and observant next time.
Thank you.
It was night when I took this picture, so it may be a bit of a bad picture
Older plants have reddish stems and are easy to pull out
I considered it a weed for a long time too Until a herbalist friend told me that it is actually an edible and medicinal plant
And since then I have been adding it to salads regularly
And it isn't until you said it's edible that I don't consider that plant a weed anymore. I'll look for them in the field, hehe
