Homemade Salsa
Filed under: Gardening, In the Kitchen..., Lesson Learned, Our Garden
Because of my recent tomato explosion, I feel the need to cook, bake or do something with all of the tomatoes I have on my kitchen table. So Ben and I made salsa and also a tomato pie for True Blood Sunday. I wasn't really happy with my tomato pie but I tried it again last night and will post about it tomorrow. I have been waiting to make my own salsa from my own tomatoes and bell peppers since we planted our...

And I often say to him, while he is driving, "See that yellow bush over there, that is exactly the one I want" or "look at those shutters, they are perfect." Upon reflection I realized that these two...
Sunflower Seedling
Last week my neighbor gave me five sunflower seedlings. He said they will not bloom until next Fall. I can't wait.
Backyard Gardening
I have wanted a garden for a very long time. Last week, Kirby (my roomate) and Ben planted our garden all while I was at work. I can't wait until we have fresh tomatoes. I love tomatoes. Thanks...
