This post is in honor of the letter “S” and part of Jenny Matlock’s Alphabet Thursday. For more spectacular “S” posts, please click here http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/

This is adapted from a Rick Bayless recipe

Ingredient List:

6 to 8 medium tomatillos (husked and rinsed)
1/2 large onion
4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup roasted peanuts
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T sugar
1 roasted jalapeno

Husk and rinse the tomatillos

Roast them under a broiler for five minutes on each side or until slightly blackened

scrape them into a food processor bowl

roast the onion, garlic and pepper in a 425 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until softened and slightly charred

let cool and then roughly chop

add to bowl with the peanuts

process until smooth

This is wonderful anywhere you would use salsa, with chips (and cheese), on tacos or chili rellenos or tamales…

xxoo,

Clouds

Written by Rocky Mountain Woman on September 24, 2012 – 6:34 am -

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It’s cloud illusions I recall

I really don’t know clouds at all
