1. Sweet and sour pork, big batch day

g'morning Lucinda

I'll make a X4 batch so I can put the rest in the freezer. Since the weatherman got it wrong and my garden is freshly soaked, I have several hours to fill while it dries out.

2. Big pork roast here too

I made homemade Chili Verde, yesterday. I'm cooking it together in a crock pot.

8 tomatillas, paper pealed off - boil until soft
Put into blender until smooth.
Roast 6 jalapeno peppers until the skin turns black and peals off easily remove seeds
Roast 5-6 Annahyme(sp) peal, seed
3-4 cloves of garlic
Bunch green onions chopped clear up onto the green parts
Cilantro chopped up to taste
Blend it all in the blender until smooth.
Add lime and salt to taste.

8. Bookmarked just for your recipe

but I think I would roast the tomatillos too!

11. Oh?

Thanks for the tip. That would lend an extra layer of flavor. My current batch is pretty spicy. It turns into a gel that stores well in the frig. It's good on every thing!

3. Was planning on BBQ'ing but it's > 90 here, 95 expected. So it's the deli for something cool.

4. I got some chicken-basil-tomato sausage at Trader Joe's

Cut it up and am cooking with sweet bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms and tomatoes. Corn on the side.

5. Sounds great. TJ's has some nice sausage.

6. This looked really nice and was different.

I maybe have put in too much oregano, though. My hand slipped.

7. Cold Plate

It's hot here; not supposed to break until Monday. Thus:

Cold poached salmon. Sour dream/dill sauce.
Cold broccoli with sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, and feta cheese.
Cucumbers in vinegar.

For dessert: frozen pear/mint yogurt smoothie that I made myself with fresh mint from the garden.

White wine.

9. Steak and a small baked potato.

I also made some homemade ranch dressing so I'll fix a nice salad too.

10. Pan seared tuna steaks with Montreal seasoning

Grilled zucchini, rice, and a salad from our community garden.

12. Mmmmm

Rubs tummy.

13. Burgers on the grill.

I finally got a chance to clean up the grill so we had to have burgers. There's nothing quite as good as a juicy sloppy cheeseburger hot off the grill!

14. veggie stir fry and meatballs in sweet chili sauce

and ramen noodles (boiled and drained and that little package of spice added and mixed up, this is how we love ramen noodles).
