Yesterday was a day of all kinds of creativity. I wrote a poem, or perhaps just the beginning of a poem. I wrote my sermon. I baked homemade bread and made cookies. All of that happened before 2:00.
Close to 2:00, I went up the hill to set up a Valentines making event at one of the buildings at camp. My neighborhood has a fair number of creative folks, so I thought it would be fun to make Valentines together after we all said we wished we could have made Christmas cards together.
I have spent the last 6 weeks buying supplies on sale, paper and stickers and such. Some of my neighbors brought their own supplies to share.
The cookies that I made in the morning were also part of the event. It was great to have room to spread out the way we wouldn't have if we went to someone's house.
It was even better to have time to catch up with neighbors and friends. We are all extremely busy.
I came home to finish one last cooking project. A few weeks ago, I wanted enchiladas, but the canned green sauce I got from the store was tasteless. That same week-end, we watched a cooking show that gave us a different idea for a green sauce. On Friday I picked up the ingredients.
It was an amazing sauce. I want to record what we did, so that I can repeat it.
Tomatillo-Cilantro Sauce
4 tomatillos
1/2 onion
3-4 poblano peppers
1 bunch of cilantro
We cut up the tomatillos and onion and put them in a pan. We drizzled the pan with oil and let it roast for 30 minutes. We grilled and charred the peppers and took the charred parts of the skin off. We put all of this in the food processor and ground it all up. Yum.
The recipe that we saw also included half a lime, which we didn't have, and a bit of cream to finish, but we didn't do that.
It would be a great sauce for all sorts of dishes, including enchiladas.
