Got Tomatoes?


I picked up our weekly bounty from the vegetable co-op and looked at the tomatoes. With more cherry tomatoes than we could eat in a salad, I decided it was time to make salsa.

Homemade salsa is actually quite easy to make. And if you have lots of tomatoes from a garden, now is the time to try to make your perfect salsa.

Perfect Salsa

Put the following ingredients in a blender in this order:

1/4 diced sweet onion
Cherry Tomatoes cut in half (enough to fill 3/4 of the blender)
1 Jalapeno pepper diced with seeds removed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Juice from 1 lime
Dash of salt

Pulse the blender a few times until the ingredients are combined but not pulverized.

Get your favorite type of tortilla chips and enjoy!

We returned from VA to find the crazy ninja deer had eaten the entire garden. All the plum, cherry, and beefsteak tomatoes were gone, gone, gone. (Along with the squash, peppers, eggplants and green beans.) I'm still grieving and quite bitter.

Thursday at Enrichment we learned a zillion things to do with toms. I just love summer veggies.

What a bummer about the garden!

I saw deer in our yard in the winter eating my plants. They have no fear and no shame.
