The Coffee House

First beet from my garden.

Only one way I like beets - pickled. Unfortunately the wife doesn't, so we don't get them that often, because even if you like them there's only so many that one person can enjoy.


Did you try to sauteé them? With a tad of garlic or mild onions and fine cut herbs and other veggies to pop up on the color side? A short sauteé with olive oil, sea salt, pepper. Simple. Effective. Opens the Carotenoids for digestion, makes them great.

But of course you are right that beets in pickle sauce are great too.

I just envision a version as a chutney with sour sweet plums in the Chinese or Eastern European style, a cross over between east Asia, south Asia and the Baltic tradition
 
Today The fish arrived which I ordered last week and it does not stink in any sense of the expression. Look:

I will be offline for a week, so if you miss me stock up on Cleenex for the tears *rotfl*

Here is my little black dress for taking holiday snapshots.

I hope I am not overdressed: 8-15 (equals minus seven), 20, 24, 50, 58, 60, 85, 105, 300

You wanted him, you can have him.



I don't know which is funnier, the hip action or the guy conducting in the background.

Gary's tomatillos are dropping like flies. Time for some chili verde!

I'm sure you have a great recipe already...but I make this one every few weeks...

Easy Pressure Cooker Pork Chile Verde Recipe

It's really good considering you don't roast everything ahead of time...and 45 minutes from start to finish is pretty solid.

Can you get Hatch chiles there? That would make me eternally jealous.
Yes. The Hatch people come out to supermarkets and setup their roasters along the sidewalk. If Gary remembers correctly, five pounds was the minimum order. All the orders are roasted while you wait. We still have a few pounds in the freezer. Gary has a number of peppers similar Hatch in his garden. Same size and texture, some hotter and some not as hot as a Hatch.
