My two best girlfriends are on their way over, one from Miami and one with a bottle of tequila! The weather is gorgeous; it’s time for a fiesta. John, Luke, and I made it downtown before nine this morning, so the Downtown Farmers Market wasn’t packed yet – only bustling. My iTouch must have snapped this picture when I was standing in line at Worden’s stand, distracted by Luke…
…or standing with my eyes shut smelling the basil.
Either way, the ingredients captured went into my fiesta menu of Chicken Tostadas, mostly the salsa cruda.
The tostadas are zingy, crispy and fresh. Follow the link above for the full recipe. MIx the following ingredients for the salsa cruda:
- 2 ripe tomatoes or 4 plum tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
1/4 medium onion, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
1/4 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Here are a few of the other things that caught my eye this morning…rosemary in a recycled can of Irish oatmeal…
???…
mermaids…
a paint bucket planter…
and the most enormous dog in all of Sarasota…
It may appear in the picture that this bigger-than-Clifford dog just ate Lukey, but don’t worry; it was no more than the standard dog handshake, the butt-sniff. It’s a good day for all of us!
