AMAZING

OMG!  I forgot to post yesterday!!!!  How did that happen!  I know I started to...oh well - the road to hell, I suppose...

This will be a short post.  

You know what I LOVE about my clients?  They bring me AMAZING stuff.  Yup - JOYJOYJOY.  This is what I got last week:

1.  Farm fresh eggs (I LOVE you Gail!!!!)
2.  Ina Garten's Curried Chicken Salad (to die for)
3.  Homemade Pesto
4.  Homemade cupcakes
5.  An amazing pork creation
6.  A more amazing Fresh Salsa Verde
7.  That Zucchini dish I posted 2 days ago

Disclaimer:
And I am positive I am forgetting more and I apologize for that but I am beginning to accept that I just plain FORGET STUFF!

You can't imagine how many gifts I receive throughout the year!  I have one client/friend who ALWAYS brings me her amazing leftover experiments! (and they are ALWAYS fabulous!!)  One of my BFFs brought me TWO - not one - but TWO bars of Lake Champlain dark Chocolate  (amazing) a few weeks ago.  I got a wine glass with blue polka dots at the beginning of the summer!  People bring me gifts from their vacations (China, Mexico and Costa Rica come to mind!).  

I get the most delicious Christmas cookies (Charlene!!!!!!), books people have loved, tickets & unused gift certificates for games and shows and the spa...seriously?  It is AMAZING!!!  I have THE best clients on earth!  Every week someone is bringing me stuff!  So blessed - that's me - SO blessed.  

I have one, somewhat new, client I have bonded with and she is always sending me recipes and bringing me food.  I LOVE this chica!!!!  This recipe made the cut.  She brought me a big ole container of THE most amazing Fresh Salsa Verde and I was in heaven when I first tasted it.  Then I had it with scrambled eggs!  Eeeeek!!!!!!   Amazing!

It's made with Tomatillos.  This is what a tomatillo looks like.  They are so pretty!

  

Tonight I am making her recipe for Fish Tacos (sans the taco only because I forgot to buy the corn tortilla and then realized - I can't eat them anyway and I can still make the fish and the sauces!) and plan to serve it with a side of the Salsa Verde.

Here's the recipe:










Fresh Salsa Verde

1/2 lb Tomatillos, husked, rinsed, quartered (6-8)
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 onion, sliced
1 Tbls EVOO
2 jalapenos, remove seeds and cut in half
1 small lime (juice from)
2 tsp. salt (to taste)
1/2 c. cilantro, chopped

Roast half the tomatillos, 2 garlic cloves, 2/3 onion and jalapenos at 400 deg. until soft and browned.  Throw into food processor along with remain ingredients.  Grate remaining garlic, really fine and process all until lumpy smooth.

I highly recommend this on anything.  LOL! 

Here is what I made to serve with my fish tacoless and Salsa Verde.  Tomato Pie!!!!!

   

Big ass food JOY!  That's all for now folks.  Tomorrow is another day!
