We are getting raised gardening beds installed in our garden today. I have been wanting them for a while now because the soil we have in our plot is really not that good -  it is very clay, very dense and has horrible drainage. For the past year I’ve been growing things in whatever containers I could find filled with good potting soil just to see if I was capable of growing things that we can eat. Even in those little pots we were able get quite a few things out it like strawberries, snap peas, snow peas, lettuce spinach, squash, tomatoes and more. Not everything was entirely successful but I learned a lot doing it and I finally feel confident enough to commit to planting in these raised beds for seasons to come.

Plum Tart

These are the before pictures of the plum tart with almond filling Nathiya baked on Sunday. She found the recipe on the food blogger extraordinaire, Pim Techamuanvivit, of the chezpim. com blog. The fig was substituted by the plum we had at home. On that day we had a small get together with our friends Cindy and Seth to do a quick Pineapple Seed jewelry photo shoot. The plum tart turned out so good Seth and I went back seconds. Needless to say Sunday was a good day.

I would so love to have this to take on our next vacation.

I’ve bought loads of yummy ripe fruits to snack on.

Yesterday we had a lovely lunch and lifestyle shoot for the new Pineapple Seed jewelry with our friend and photographer Cindy Loughridge. The location was set at our house this time so I also got to cook lunch and make dessert for everyone.

I made Thai sukiyaki soup with rice and a special dipping sauce. Then for dessert, a plum rustic tart that was buttery sweet with a hint of tart.

We even had time to walk around in my garden and found some props for the pics seen here. Meyer lemons from my tree and snapdragons flowers.

This is the view of last night’s sunset. It was taken from the small window we have in our bathroom.

Just want to highlight this gorgeous photo taken by Chelsea of her new *emera bag
