Never cut two cups of Jalapenos without wearing gloves

This crazy Summer weather - not to mention the crazy Spring weather really confused my tomatoes. They did not start until late and now with the temp getting down in the 40s at night they are not ripening. Problem solved. Picked the ones worth picking, tore out the vines and spent the day making green salsa. Now in the process of making the salsa I had to chop up two cups of Jalapenos and a couple of Poblanos to add to the salsa. Chopped them without gloves and my hands burned for about two hours after.

You can take the girl out of Texas but you cannot take the desire for good Tex-Mex out of the girl. And in this case the guy, spouse, loves good Tex-Mex. I do not expect this salsa to be as good a Mrs. Renfros but I will work on it. Actually Mrs. Renfros has no tomatoes in it so there can be no comparison. Hers is made with just Jalapenos and is hot, hot, hot.

Bet she is smart enough to not chop them without gloves. Above is the fruits of my labor. Should have gotten more for all the pain I went through.

On another note I signed up for a couture sewing class and received the pattern for the class today. Really looking forward to this on-line class. Also have a commision from a friend to make a camp shirt for her significant other. That material arrived today from E-Quilter, the friend picked it out, it is beautiful as you can see by the pic. He is going to look great.

That is all for today.

May life treat you well,

Caroline
