And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A Goal For Next Summer: Grow enough tomatoes, onions and peppers to bottle up several of these.
I have a vegetable omelet with salsa in the middle, instead of cheese or some other obnoxious ingredient, most every morning. Salsa needs LOTS of garlic to make it much more palatable.
Well I gotta find one too, but it can't be too difficult as the basic ingredients will be really good no matter what. I figure the heat level will be the tricky part.
My wife did, but she's an "over-achiever". There are 50 mason jars of the stuff in the basement. They're good but I'm tired of salsa on everything from Apple pie to Zucchini.
Just kidding about her putting salsa on apple pie. She hasn't done that. Yet
We put up a lot of salsa and sauce every year. It was difficult to get enough tomatoes at one given time to do this so we now just buy seconds buy the bushel at the end of the season from a nearby farm/stand. You need approx.25lbs.for12 qts.depending on your mixture of other veggies. You can more than double the amount of tomatoes for sauce.
A worthy goal indeed.
ReplyDeleteDo I smell cilantro and garlic in there too?
ReplyDeleteThat looks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteSome of that on this mornings scrambled eggs would be great!

It is getting close to that time to figure out how much to plant etc.
ReplyDeleteI grow these but need a good recipe for this. Please help.

Start stocking up on jars and lids now. They've been in short supply all year.
ReplyDeleteEverywhere I've ever lived has been short of Ball lids from time to time.
DeleteLids? My drawers are usually enough to contain mine!
DeleteI couldn't help it....

ReplyDeleteThe canning technique to prevent cooking the ingredients?
