Made some salsa verde today! The garden is really coming on!

[YooperDog]

Tex_77 your tomatillas are bigger then my tomatoes. Looks like some good salsa.

[Tex_77]

YooperDog You’d hate to see the size of my tomatoes.

[Joe Hell]

Tex_77 Yum! Yesterday I had Mulitas Chuleta en Chile Verde from ‘The Happy Wanderer’ Mexican restaurant…they were delicious!

I gave up on growing tomatillos years ago. I never had luck with them. My garden is really starting to produce. Squash, zucchini and cucumbers are coming on strong right now and it’s looking to be a bumper crop of tomatoes.

[Tex_77]

Joe Hell I have no idea what you ate…lol. The key to growing them is you have to have at least plants. I have had one good year, one bad, and this year seems to be going ok.

My cucumbers are coming on strong as well, I’ve made a cucumber salsa as well as creamed cucumbers. I’ve also been grilling a lot of zucchini and yellow squash.

Joe Hell I was not too smart this year. I decided to let my garden go to fallow for the first time in ages. I figured it needed a break & we were really busy with our best January ever. Then the Corona Business hit…
Margaret has really been on my case to get a Fall garden ready & thankfully, they usually do us better anyways.

[calldoctoday]

I am not sure why it sensored “Corona Business Hit”?

[calldoctoday]

Corona Business

[calldoctoday]

Hit, it hit. It hit everywhere. Still not sure why the computer system keeps censoring that!

calldoctoday Probably the admins fault. You know, he wears an orange hat.

[calldoctoday]

@Fat-Bob I am laughing, Orange Hat, where are you, come on over here orange hat, orange hat, is that you, is that you orange hat?

[Chef]

calldoctoday Sounds like Dr. Seuss’s Go Dogs Go. Do you like my hat…I do not like your party hat…good bye, good bye…

[calldoctoday]

Sounds to me like the Rattle snake we found in our yard several weeks ago, I do not like it at all, I do not like it one bit!

[Jonathon]

calldoctoday LOL, today has been a looooong day but that was worth the price of admission!

[Chef]

Rattle snake makes good sausage already preformed!

[calldoctoday]

We are geetting beter at every turn.

[Jonathon]

Chef seriously? How was it, what fat % and what fat source did you use?

[Chef]

Jonathon I’m sorry I was just joking ( which is why I said preformed, some even call it tube steak) but from the sources I see it has a pretty high fat content.

I have had it grilled and really was okay. I think I would approach it as a chicken sausage.
