Salsa!

Today, we ate the first salsa of the season! It's true! And I'll tell you all about it.

But first, lets review the farm progress.

Rick C was only off by a week. As of yesterday, the tomatoes were definitely getting red.



The cluster we've been watching is also starting to color up. Those are Golden Jubilee tomatoes so we only expect them to get yellowy-orange.



Also yesterday, I got the wire up for the beans, and planted the green/yellow haricot verts. This is the "before" picture. Soon this bit of fence will be covered in luscious beans.



The cantelopes are flowering. I also "encouraged" the watermelons to grow toward the gravel.



The corn is fully knee-high.



And the grapes have filled out amazingly.



But of course the real news is...salsa!

Rick C ran back to his house and picked some fresh onions and garlic. Then we picked the first of the tomatillos, Anaheims, and a few tiny jalapenos.



Because it's so much easier to work in a modern kitchen, I took the bounty home to salsa up there.

I boiled the tomatillos for a few minutes.



And charred the Anaheims.




All the ingredients look so pretty!



Then, I brought the fresh salsa to the garden. Rick C. tears open the chips.



And the jar is no match for Billy's might.



It didn't take long before it was all devoured.
