Ok, here's the green tomato pickle recipe...
Put small firm green tomatoes, cut in half or left whole if
real small) in sterilized jars.
Combine:
2 quarts water
1 quart white vinegar
1 cup salt (kosher or canning salt is what I use)
Boil this for 5 minutes. To each jar add 2 T dill seed, 2 red
peppers, and 2 cloves garlic. Then add the hot liquid and seal with sterilized
lids.
This was my Uncle Lloyd's recipe, but I changed it to suite my
tastes. I put jalapeños in (cut in half, seeded) and bunches of peeled and cut
or slightly smashed garlic (more flavor). Make a dirty martini with the juice
and spear a couple tomatoes for garnish~!

Yesterday was 'day out with the girls'. We tried a new place in Grants
Pass. It's Gtano's. "Nuevo Latin Cuisine" in the shopping center where Blondie's
is, across the street from the Laughing Clam. The interior is beautiful...
Here are the 'girls' minus Micol who got there really late, buy the skin of
her teeth! L-R Tammy, Jennifer, Hilomi, me, Dee, Sandi, and Nadja.
The menu is awesome. So many choices, hard to choose. The owner, Juan
Carlos told me about the Peruvian Margarita and it was spicy. He gave me a mini
Margarita to try. OMGOOOOD!!!! So I ordered a full size one! Going back for
more!
Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and all want to come back. I had the
'Seafood Chile Relleno' ... Roasted Poblano chile filled with seared tilapia,
calamari, and shrimp with mushrooms and peppers covered in a creamy seafood
sauce. Served with rice and beans. On the plate was also some melon ... gobble
gobble gobble... oink! The rice had corn in it. Soooooooooooooooooooooo
good!!!
Juan Carlos said they only use fresh ingredients, nothing canned. We're all
going back! They also have a take out menu (Brian!)
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.
