She was right about one thing: you really need to trim your replies.
Please. You quoted 87 lines to say six words, "No worse than your top

Yeah, except Mr. Psycho also picks up leaves with his tractor. I kid you
not when I said that when a couple of leaves fall, the tractor is out to
fetch them. Once, for about a month, his engine backfired. So for that
month, I lived in what seemed to be sporadic firearm shots : )

I make up small batches of salsa verde by boiling whole tomatillos for a
few minutes, then blenderizing them with chopped fresh jalapenos, a
little garlic powder, salt, and onion flakes.



Here's a few canning recipes:

I think this was acid enough to process in a boiling water bath, but I
pressure canned it just to make sure. Six and a half pounds because
that's what I had, and I adjusted everything else to match:

Tomatillo Salsa Verde

6 1/2 pounds tomatillos -- chopped large
1 1/2 pounds mixed green chiles
1/2 pound chopped yellow onion
1 cup lemon juice or vinegar [I used white vinegar]
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. dried oregano
2 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. whole black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large covered saucepan and cook over low
heat until mixture begins to boil; simmer for 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Liquify with a "stick blender" and bring back to a boil.
Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids
and process in a steam pressure canner at 10 pounds for 20 or 25 minutes
for pints or quarts, respectively. Makes about 8 pints.

Tomatillo Green Salsa
(New Mexico State University College of Agriculture & Home Economics)

5 cups tomatillos -- chopped
1 1/2 cups New Mexico green chile -- roasted, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup jalepenos -- roasted, seeded and chopped
4 cups onions -- chopped
1 cup lemon juice, bottled
6 cloves garlic -- finely chopped
1 tablespoon cumin -- (optional)
3 tablespoons oregano -- (optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and stir frequently over
high heat until mixture begins to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for
20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle hot salsa into pint jars,
leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process in a boiling water
canner 15 minutes at 0-1,000 feet altitude; 20 minutes at 1,001-6,000
feet; 25 minutes above 6,000 feet. Yield: about 5 pints

You're right, Terry. It was her attitude that had/has me ticked off. I've
never had any previous encounters with Ellen. She seemed to be just
waiting to strike.

Thanks!

True... apples stolen from Mr. Peterson's orchard were the best, wormy though
they were... but who ate them, they were great for apple wars.

I've read that the bell pepper crop here is gonna be pretty pathetic too,
this winter. Glad I stocked up a whiles back at the farmer's market, I cut
the peppers (mostly red and yellow) into strips and froze them, they'll be
okay for pasta, soups, etc...

And my pantry is all stocked up on tomato"e" products (sauce, etc.). Got
'em cheap and have enough to last a long while...

Saw some crummy salad 'maters at the soopermart last night - ye godz, they
were three bucks a pound (usually they are like $1.29 or so) and reminded me
of the ill - looking vegetables I used to see in East Germany or
Czechoslovakia during the Bad Olde Kommunist Daze...
