Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2007 July 11

(1) Wed Jul 11 2007 13:20 Lime Vinagrette: This is a recipe Alyson made when she came to help after Maggie was born. I made about half and it was a good amount.

 3/4 c. chopped tomator
3/4 c. cilantro
6 T. oil
3 T. cider vinegar (I used white)
1 T. lime zest
2 T. lime juice
3/4 t. salt
3/4 t, cumin
3/4 t. chili powder
3/4 t. pepper
3 garlic cloves, peeled.

Mix in blender. I used it to marinate the chicken, which I grilled on the George Foreman, then as a dressing for the salad (greens, corn, black beans, tomato, green onion, lime juice.)

Wed Jul 11 2007 13:27 This Is Me Being Political: I don't think the recycling guys take me seriously. The last time I asked for a receipt the guy ignored me and I finally just left. Yes, I really do want my 50 cents back! Maybe I will have to start saving up items with redemption values. It builds up a lot quicker when the neighbors toss beer cans onto our patio.

I didn't realize I had a "cause" until we were playing one of those games ("If Susie were a cause she would be...") and everyone said recycling. So, I (apparently) have a cause and it's recycling. Recycle: Save a Plastic Tree.
