What do you do when life gives you tomatillos?

1. Admit it is your fault. You planted a dozen plants; what did you think was gonna' happen?
2. Make salsa!

Tomatillos, onions, peppers and garlic all from our garden.

grill 'em

30 seconds in the food processor with some salt, lime juice, black pepper and cilantro.
I tried to grow cilantro, but it failed to germinate. We have black pepper vine growing, but not producing yet. We have a lemon tree that's looking good so far (winter will be a challenge I think).
So, potentially, except for salt, this could all come from our garden. It was good.

Green tabasco peppers


add vinegar and peppercorns. Now I need a pot of pinto beans.

Nick made cookies

Our morning walk companions (neighbor's dogs)

Road kill

Want a puppy?

We bought some new targets


All ours except the taters, (we didn't plant any). Not pictured: these veggies were added to some venison taken about a mile from here. Cristina added some stuff and it became "caldereta". Sarap!

Magic! (I got it stuck)


Daddy long-legs clump on the porch ceiling. Yerg! (shudder, run away)

My new look

haircut mishap. the guard fell off the clippers. Cristina had to re-cut the whole thing. My hair is pretty short now.

Harvest and guard

waste


more waste. Many (most?) of the tomatoes are splitting. Probably too much water. We had nearly 10" in July. Lots of the tomatillos have rotted on the vine. Maybe same issue, I don't know.

Not wasted
