6 to 8 med to large Roma tomatoes or 2 large cans of crushed or whole tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic - minced

Green bell pepper -cut thinly

1 jalapeno pepper chopped (remove the seeds for less heat)

1 med onion chopped thinly

1/4 c. or less or more depending on your taste of cilantro

juice of one lime

salt and pepper to taste

par boil tomatoes (couple of minutes until you can remove skins)

mash tomatoes and bring everything to boil simmer until onions are transparent

puree everything in a blender or food processor

cool in fridge and eat up!

Okay I am so excited that The Goonies are coming on tonight Tivo is ready I love this movie. Noah is just as excited as me, Brinsley and Johnny don't quite get it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

Oh yea I am trying to figure out how to make a new header any tips would be appreciated

Sweet tea and Bicycles

Hello everyone thanks for all the reading suggestions I am going to check them out we live right behind our public library so I have decided to start taking advantage and check out books again I have not checked out a library book since I was in high school I am excited.

Being from the south we love our sweet tea I make up to two gallons a day depending on if the kids are here all day so I thought I would share my recipe (now everyone makes their tea different this is how I make mine.)

Bring 2 family size Tetley Tea bags to a boil this is where Johnny and I disagree he brings his water to a boil then adds the tea bags. I put the tea bags in the water then bring to a boil. Once it comes to boil turn off.

Let it steep 3 to 5 mins

put one to two cups of sugar in the pitcher add hot tea on top of sugar let stand to melt sugar it making a simple syrup of sorts. Add water to pitcher put in fridge till cool. Serve over ice. Enjoy!

This makes one gallon.

My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks I am hinting about wanting this

Have a great day!

xoxo
