Looks like I’ll be around for a while anyway so you’ll have to put up with me! Went to the Dr. yesterday and she has me on meds for my leg. 25 years ago I had a back operation; ruptured disc that part of it was on my sciatic nerve. The pain this time was the same. The Dr. and I decided on the meds as a first step and give it two weeks to see if it’s better. I was having bad and good periods so she thought maybe it was just something inflamed or pulled that was causing the pain. Hope it works; I don’t care to have an operation.
My wife is still cooking till I get better, I think we are having Arby’s tonight! I had pickled a jar of green tomatoes. They set fermenting for 8 days and tasted good so they went in the fridge for two days. Keymaster did some about the same time as I did and made some Salsa Verde from his. It looked and sounded good so I did mine this afternoon.
I cut the tomatoes up and removed most of the seeds and water; added a handful of chopped flat leaf parsley, two slices of garlic diced and two slices of sweet onion diced. I did add a small piece of the jalapeno from the pickled tomatoes and a pinch of sea salt. It was pretty sour so I added a tsp. of sugar.
I liked it for a different salsa and it won’t last long. My wife did not like it so if making again I would do half cilantro, half parsley and some more jalapeno for heat.
