Better get this done before vacation this week. Haven't had much time to make exciting food with a job and the sheep going to the mountain. Mom made the better stir-fry broccoli. May have been better, but wasn't that great. Mostly just crunchy broccoli with a little sauce and red pepper flakes. The red pepper flakes did make it a little more exciting. Eat it with milk near by.
The other thing was pork tostadas. This one needs a retry. They were good and didn't take too long to make. We did eat at 8:45 pm, but it wasn't because they cooked for that long. It was just a long day. This was the first time we left out the secret ingredient though. I guess I missed the add chipotle powder part so they were a little bland. Flavor was good, but no kick at all. Even with my Tapatio sauce they were mild. Tapatio is a pretty mild hot sauce, but still should help some. So now we have to try again... with the chipotle. It sure smells good.
The diet should get more interesting now. The lettuce and spinach are pretty much done for, and the beets were kind of skipped, but the peas are ready to begin. We had the first six pods tonight and they were just how I like them. Small enough that when you bite down the peas pop a little. This is the reason for a garden. Get everything picked when you like them, not when someone else decides they are ready. Still haven't figured out the watermelon thing yet. They are either so green they taste like cucumbers or old and mealy. And the biggest one I had was about softball size. Forget icebox melons, I grow pop cooler melons.
