Nomad helping Nomad
I need to send a huge thanks to Bajanuts she helped me salvage some produce from my garden that would have otherwise went to waste.
The deer got into my garden on 4th of july and destroyed everything but after some nurturing some of it started to come back albeit a little late to
ripen so I was left with boxes of green tomatoes.
I talked to a freind and she told "make green tomato salsa", okay got a recipe---------NO!
So what do I do? Well the light came on, bajanuts, she makes salsa so I U2U'd and viola (sp? pronounced waalaa) she sends me the killer recipes.
The final product has everyone in my family saying WOW this is the best salsa ever!
I'd give you the recipe but it's not mine.
To Bajanuts thanks from a Nomad brother and should we meet in Baja the cervazas are on me but you bring the salsa because I know how good mine turned
out but then again you are the teacher and I am merely the student. Steve
Live Indubiously!

hey Castaway$-
Sounds like something worked for you! AWESOME!
Thanks for asking, and I'm super-glad that something worked for you!
Please feel free to share what recipe you used as a couple were "pilfered" from the internet and mine is the original one I started with but not the
one I use today.
I hope we meet up someday, and we'd love to share some cervezas.
did you can it? Pics?
and everyone knows,"the student always eventually surpasses the master"...
just glad it worked for ya.
it's all good~

Outstanding...unripe tomato salsa is delicioso.
Now If I may be so bold as to mention another nomad helping nomad...last night a nomad drove way out of his way to donate a bunch of fire hoses,
nozzles, and assorted fittings for our local volunteer emergency team who were very very thankful. Thanks Rock...you rock!
And honourable mention to all our visitors who have brought down care packages and parts from the great north for us...gracias for your time and
thoughfullness amigos...the pistachios are scrumptious!

Castaway$ something else you can do is wrap each tomato in newspaper and store in cool dark place, they will continue to ripen slowly so check them a
couple times a week.

I could very well be wrong.... but I believe that tomatoes quit ripening when removed from the plant, they only become softer.
If you make something idiot proof, someone will always make a better idiot.

Can't say for sure about the 'maters,
but it would be great for this thread to continue with "shout outs" like Shari and Castaway$ did.
You don't have to be specific with names and such, unless it's appropriate, but just a public thanks is always appreciated and keeps the love going.
Maybe only the people involved will know of whom they speak, and in that way also, it's all good.
I'd like to send one out to Comitan and LongLegs for stepping up to help a stranger in a small way that helped a lot.
