White sauce for Baja style fish tacos
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1 lime worth of juice
about a 1/3rd of a bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
pinch of salt
Since I kind of came up with it from a culmination of other recipes I found and what I knew it should taste like, I thought I should write it down before I forget what I did. And while I'm documenting stuff I did for dinner last night without a recipe. . .
Corn and Black Beans
1 can black beans, undrained
1 can corn with peppers
1/4 of a large sweet onion, chopped
about 1/2 cup worth of cilantro (could be coarsely chopped, but it doesn't matter if they're whole)
1/2 a lime (squeeze the juice in then just throw the rest of the lime in to simmer with the corn and beans, remove to serve)
1 chipotle and a spoonful of the adobo
Simmer until liquid thickens.
I have a new pest to worry about in the garden this year. It's Jonah. He's discovered there are edible things out there and loves to pick the tomatoes and eat them right off the vines. Especially the little grape tomatoes. Unfortunately he picks the green ones too. I explained to him the other day, using signs for the colors to show him that we wanted to wait until they were red to pick them and that we don't pick them green. While he picked up the signs and seems to know what I'm talking about, it doesn't deter his curiosity. It's probably my fault for letting him pick and eat our first ripe one the other day. Unfortunately in his attempt to pick that one little ripe one, he knocked 4 others off the vine that still needed a few days. Next year I might just plant him his very own tomato plant that he can destroy. At least he seems to know to leave the flowers alone.
