Well I'm already planning a big veggie garden. Maybe i should build a coop, too. *eyes the backyard*


! I have 2 plots at the community garden, but sadly they don't allow chickens, or I'd raise some. but should get lots  of veggies.


For you! http://www.heirloomseeds.com/

Aside from the satisfaction of growing (some) of my own food, it'll save me money. Well....until I go buy that organic whole milk and eggs.

*chuckles* technicaly if you are traditional.. no.. but many use chicken instead.

http://search.foodnetwork.com/food/recipe/chicken+fajitas/search.do?searchString=chicken+fajitas&site=food&gosearch=&searchType=Recipe

It is supposed to be with things like Carne asada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carne_asada

( yummy stuff) esp from the street corner taco shops.

My Pico is more of a Cuban style that more closely resembles chismol sauce.

Tonight it has Tomatoes, green chillies, lime juice, tomilitos, onions, and garlic. ( I was out of Cilantro)

I change out my pico every once in a while. I love jimca. Depends on my mood.

My Girl is Cuban.. I hooked her by my cuban cooking even though I am a Gringa.

Fajita means "skirt", referring to the cut of beef.
Here's an interesting link:
http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A261130
I toured the King Ranch doen in S. Texas many years ago, and they talked about grilling skirt and flank steaks over the fire way back around the 1900s.

What is known along the Rio Grande and in the US as Pico de Gallo is called Salsa Cruda or Salsa Mexicana Cruda down in Mexico.

I know a LOT about Cocina Mexicana.




whayhay, Traditional Cornish pasties use skirt for the meat, nothing else is good enough.

With any luck, cat will become a popular substitute-it's not like there is any lack of them.

There's at least as much as a rabbit-enough for a few tacos, and a fur hat.

Take this in the spirit in which it is given.

Ain't no such thing as "chicken fajitas".

***********************************************************************

Fajita means "skirt", referring to the cut of beef.

A common enough misconception to even make it into Wiki... Actually fajita means 'band', like a bandage or a belt, and refers to the slicing of whatever type of meat into strips.
The word for 'skirt' is falda. 
And arracheras with lingua, pollo, etc. have been around a lot longer than yuppy Tex-Mex sour cream and pico recipes, which are only distantly related to much real Mexican cuisine...

Not really. Plus, they're smarter than most people.

Now dogs... those suckers are trusting, AND they've got some meat on them! They're like cows that slobber.
