Edible Treasures

Wednesday afternoon Tim stopped off at the Ollie's Garden Patch to pick up some more veggie starts for our garden. He purchased some lemon cucumber and two different kinds of squash. He also picked up a box of not-so-good-looking fresh produce. He paid a whole dollar for this box of veggies and fruit, a box most people would have walked right past. But there were edible treasures hidden within this box.

Some of these treasures were tomatoes. They did have some black spots on them but all I had to do was cut 'em out. Let me tell you what I did with these plump, red, juicy 'mators. I concocted a mean batch of salsa. I didn't follow a recipe...I guessed at what I thought would be good. Here are the ingredients I used:

• Onions (lots of onions)
• Cilantro (fresh from our garden)
• Lime juice
• Salt
• Garlic cloves
• and of course, Ollie's Specialty Black-Spotted Tomatoes

I think it turned out pretty fine. But the true test will be when Tim gets home tonight and tries my concoction. Hopefully he'll be as pleased as I. (He'll probably say it needs cinnamon...he adds cinnamon to everything.)
