August 7- my dinner is cold! - and other stuff... mostly food

2009.08.07

I woke up kind of achy and a little nauseous this morning, but with the help of some Tylenol (panadol) and a couple of naps, I did okay today, and was actually rather useful.
Well, useful in that I seemed to have cooked a lot today, once my tummy started feeling better. Paul had the day off so he got to reap the rewards.
I started out by roasting some tomatillos from our garden under the broiler (as the recipe said)...
pixel
then blended them with sauteed onion, cilantro, lime juice, one clove of garlic, a jalepeno, and a little bit of sugar to make tomatilla salsa verde.
pixel
testin' it out... not bad, not bad.
pixel
Then quickly whipped up a couple of shrimp tacos for lunch and topped it with a little sour cream and some of that homemade salsa verde.

Went for a little walk- did me good to get a little fresh air I think. This tree was a few blocks away, pretty ain't it?
pixel
Dinner was cold! On purpose- home made gazpacho made from tomatoes and cucumber from our garden and a mixed green salad with roasted veg that I had roasted earlier. (annotated)

Then, for dessert, home made orangey dark chocolate chip cookies made with whole wheat flour. (These'll go into the cookie/biscuit tin and we'll be eating them all week).

ShangriLa Those golden things look beautiful. Are they potatoes?

websterella I love tomatillos battered and fried.

No, they're not potatoes, they're related to the tomato. They're green in this case and have a paper husk. They can be purple, red or yellow also, but most people know the green ones. That's what you make the salsa verde (see pick #2) with.
