Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa

1 1/2 pounds fresh tomatillos (about 12-14 medium) soaked in warm water and husked. (i usually soak for 15 min)

1 med. white onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2-3 fresh serrano chiles to taste, minced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 large ripe avocado
juice from 2-3 limes, plus more to taste
salt to taste (i like coarse salt)
sugar to taste
Extra virgin olive oil to taste (i don't use, or if i do, just very little)

Quarter the tomatillos and place in a food processor. Pulse to a coarse puree.

Place the tomatillos, onion, garlic, chiles, and cilantro in a bowl and stir to combine. Cut the avocado in half length wise, remove the pit, cube, and add to the tomatillos. Season with lime juice, salt, sugar, and drizzles of olive oil. let stand 20 min. taste and adjust seasonings.

I usually double it for family functions, so i juice 3 limes, and then add 1/4 cup lime juice (the good key lime stuff).

Sledding on New Year's Day

Sorry that some of them were cut off, it wouldn't let me drag them around to find the best sizing. If anyone wants a copy of these pictures, let me know.




I put these out separate from the slide show, so Mellisa could save them, if she wanted them for next year's calendar. :)

Sue's visit

Aunt Susie came and visited us last Thursday (she had to attend a meeting in Gooding). Mallory was her shadow the entire evening. Mallory loved to play games with her, and so did her mommy! Hide and go seek was Mallory's favorite game. Mallory will often tell me now that she wants to play games. who could resist that? not I.

fiddling

I was attempting to fix the blog, so the sidebar wouldn't run into the main body, but if it doesn't work for your screen, let me know. (as in it won't all fit.) on a side note, this template is a lot simpler to fiddle with then the dots one.

bec

more pictures to come. i am determined to catch up on my blogging. and write emails, mom and dad.
