Home grown always best.

Yesterday we got to sample some of our delicious home grown beans. they are just a simple dwarf bean, easy to grow, low maintenance, and tasty. Check out these babies, my first harvest of beans from this crop. They don't look anything like some of the old rubbery, banged up and dehydrated things you see in the supermarket at all.

We had them dished up with a very average corned beef, spud bake using Grumbles Mums recipe and other veges. I swear, I am never buying corned beef from bi-lo again. It really was blah. I normally (almost always!) buy my meat from my friendly butcher. Everything always tastes so much better, you know its fresh and you get personalised service, although you do pay extra for it at times. However we have been struggling money wise recently when hubbys former employer went bust, and we were without income for a couple of weeks. It really puts the brakes on the grocery and meat budget in a hurry. Thankfully we will be able to a good quality steak again soon, much to Grumbles' delight as he hasn't had a t-bone in weeks!
