Ben caught a very nice yellowfin tuna and some enormous sweetlip emperors last Friday - so much fresh fishy goodness, we were able to share with our neighbours. That fresh produce above is just snap shot of what we were given in return! And it happens all the time, whether we have fish to gift or not. Always enough food to go around - excess never goes to waste! I love living with peeps who share and best of all, I love that our bellies are consistently filled with food harvested right here in "our backyard".
I steamed up some chokos and served them with a sprinkling of salt and lashings of butter - they were delicious. But I'm up for some more serving suggestions if anyone has any!!

Chokos ARRGHH
Nan use to disguise them as baked potatoes. It was so disappointing if you had left them to eat last. Otherwise they used to be disguised as stewed pears especially during wartime.
I suggest feeding the chooks!
I have heard choko and apple pie is lovely. Rhonda has a choko pie recipe here too - http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/chokos-ready-to-plant.html
How I love passion fruit. I had three vines at my last house and was spoilt with them. Can't wait to plant a few vines when we sort our where to put them. We have wonderful neighbours too and a great little network of sharing. I share homemade jam and veggies from the garden, and in return I get fruit, veg and fresh eggs. My neighbours even cooked dinners for me and hung out my washing after my eye operations. :)
Ben and the kids loved the ones I cooked the other night! Harry in particular couldn't stop raving about them!!!!!! Thinking your choko was a baked potato would be mighty disappointing though :(
It's great to have nice neighbours isn't it. Thanks for the link Christina, I'll check it out.
i have never even heard of chokos but i love the idea of neighbours who share their harvest x
We do the sharing thing here too. When our fruit trees are full friends and family always leave with a bag of something. And a couple of months ago I went to get the post and the mail box was crammed full of sweetcorn from the farmer across the road xo
