I have been out of commission for a few days. Last week my
hip and leg started to hurt. Thursday I thought it was better and I managed to
cook Friday but by Saturday I could hardly walk. I almost went to the hospital
emergency but waited until Monday to see my Doctor. It is something agitating
my sciatic nerve and we decided to try meds for two weeks to see if that helps.
I started the meds today. All of our friends know I do most all of the cooking
and when it’s my wife’s turn we go out or get carry ins! We have been eating
carry ins since last Saturday.
I felt good enough today after starting on my meds to make some
salsa from my jar of pickled green tomatoes. They set fermenting for 8 days and
tasted good so they went in the fridge for two days.
I cut the tomatoes up and removed most of the seeds and
water; added a handful of chopped flat leaf parsley, two slices of garlic diced
and two slices of sweet onion diced. I did add a small piece of the jalapeno
from the pickled tomatoes and a pinch of sea salt. It was pretty sour so I
added a tsp. of sugar.
I liked it for a different salsa and it won’t last long. My
wife did not like it so if making again I would do half cilantro, half parsley
and some more jalapeno for heat.
