Taking the summer off.

Just a quick announcement that I am shutting down the blog for a couple of months so that we can enjoy the summer and get some things done around the house.

I'll try to post again when the new baby arrives. So we hope to see you in September!

Have a fabulous summer and stay safe!

p.s. I should mention that I will continue to update our Flickr albums on a regular basis. So if you are interested in new photos of the boys please click on the Flickr link, located on the right sidebar.

Easy-peasy Pico De Gallo

I used some of the beautiful cilantro that Dylan grew. It was so great having it in my backyard and snipping a handful. Usually I buy a small bunch at the store and end up throwing half of it away, which is so disheartening!

We had tacos tonight and the fresh pico was a delicious addition to the tacos. A real burst of sunshine.



















Farmer Dylan.





The recipe is basic: tomatoes, onions (red is best, imo), garlic, limes, salt, pepper, jalapenos, cilantro, a little honey, red wine vinegar. Mix and let sit for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
