jalapenos


jalapenos... o how i love thee...
deep, dark green with a crispy crunch
fragrance so rare that a grown woman cries
oil so intense that it burns at the touch
spice so intense that the tongue doth water
jalapenos! jalapenos!! Why do I suffer?
love.......
Okay, so I was using the term "love" loosely here. On Saturday we went blueberry picking and processed 24 pounds of berries!!! We also went to my favorite veggie drive thru. I got cantaloupes for 50 cents, a HUGE watermelon, 25 pounds of tomatoes and 31 pounds of jalapenos! (I split the peppers with another fanatic. Actually she is worse than me!)
Last night I was making up some poppers for dinner. (I wear protective gloves when deseeding.) Well wouldn't you know it... jalapenos juice spurted up and hit me in the eye! Not good...really not good:(
I spent the next 10 minutes doing a cold water eye flush. Need I say more. Superman then brought up a pair of protective eye gear.
What I have to do for my tasty treats! Here's my jalapeno friend's recipe. You'll also see my salsa recipes if you want to give them a try!
In the next day or so I'll be posting on all those berries and jam. I do hope you'll come by.
What's your favorite "new" food?

So Much to say.

Good Morning All! We had a wonderfully busy, four day weekend here. We started out our time together visiting a reenactment of Civil War life. We had a chance to here the cannons blow and the muskets crack. A little unnerving when your aren't prepared for it. All the Dads in our group were entranced. We learned about Morse code and the telegraph service. How to dress for day, evening and what type of hoop skirt was used for different activities. Everyone enjoyed some sarsaparilla, fried peas, parched corn and fry bread. The chickadees has lots of new ideas for ball gowns and bonnets. ( I think we will have a busy summer.) These were war refugees getting dressed for the day. The hairstyles were so intricate! Did you know that they made specific chairs for men and women? The hoops that women wore couldn't fit into chairs with arms. These chairs were also sold in pairs because married couples were the ones most likely to need them. After leaving the Raid we then headed to Bocia

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th
