So far the tomato plants look good... we had several nice 70+ days where I was able to baby them on the deck...

Now, however, we are due to snow flurries... so I have brought them inside...

Fingers crossed!

Tomorrow night Emma has her Greek Play production at school for Fifth Grade... hopefully a video to come!

Oh.... and these are the baby Heirloom tomato plants we are growing.... How fun!!!

Can't wait to taste them!

Nothing too exciting here... we had a "tease weekend last week... sunny... mild... took the bikes out... now... cold, rain and snow this weekend... enough... enough... enough!!!!

We are going to watch the Indiana Jones Trilogy since it is crappy out... get ready for the next movie this Summer....

Making a fun dinner... got some nicely cooked pork Carnitas from the local market... smells great... and will have that in corn tortillas with avacado and some red cabbage with lime and cilantro... making some yellow rice with brown rice... which turns out well... maybe some black beans...

My new trick... freezing whole limes... limes are rediculously expensive in the well known chain supermarkets here.... 2 or 3 for a dollar.... nuts... and I use them in cooking all the time... the locally Hispanic market sells nice limes 10 for a buck... so I buy a bunch... freeze them whole and thaw as needed... the flavor is great... and the lime softens for easy juicing... voila... never EVER buy bottled lime or lemon juice... it is an abomination :)
