It's been a long time...

Since my last post. We had a round of illness that lasted for a few months. I am happy to report that all is well now.:-) I have been very busy in the garden and the kitchen. I was able to put up several quarts of tomatoes. Next week my mom is going to bring me some green beans and I hope to have several quarts of those. I have also had success making kefir and cream cheese. I made some of my salsa too. Here's the recipe:
Christy's Tomitilla Salsa
Tomitilla
Tomatoes
Red Onion
Cilantro
Lime juice
Salt
Garlic
Now cut up however much of the veggies you want. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Cut up a cup of fresh cilantro and mix it in with the veggies and seasonings. Now enjoy with tortilla chips. If you have a lot of juice leftover freeze it and add it to chili or stews come winter.

I have done a wee bit of knitting lately too. I did my first heel on my first sock and I am very proud of it. It is a short row heel and not near as complicated as my mind tried to make it. Nap time is nearly over so I must leave. Be back soon...

Isn't it exciting to finish your first sock?

I love homemade salsa. Need to actually make some. I like your ingredients. Those tomatillos make a big difference.

I hae one pineapple growing after about five yrs of none growing. I need to pluck it before the grove animals have a nice little treat. :-)

I tried a garden a couple of times but my rabbits, raccoons, foxes, etc. have that natural ability to take it just when it's ready to eat. I didn't mind helping to feed them but it would have been nice if they shared. heh
