These beauties were volunteers in our Veggie Garden this year - from seeds that fell from last years crop. This year I'll make sure and save some to plant for next year - before the birds FEAST.

New Mexico State Fair AKA EXPO 2008

Over the next few days I am going to upload images from my day at the New Mexico State Fair. I visited on Wednesday morning, FREE parking and no crowds.... Very nice day indeed. I saw pie judging, cattle competition, loved the agriculture building, had to pet a few rabbits, watched sheep shearing and visited the largest candy distributor in the Nation.... as the Dutch say "Lekker" Hope you all find the time to visit your local State Fairs....

Jay's Fried Plantains Recipe - Great Appetizer

Jay's Fried Plantains

1. Cut Green Plantains into about one inch pieces.
2. Heat cooking oil of your choice and flash fry them.
3. Allow for the excess oil to drain from the flash fried plantains.
4. With a rubber mallet or press - flatten each piece between parchment paper.
5. Fry the flattened plantains the 2nd time until golden, salt to taste and serve.

These make for a fantastic appetizer, quick, easy and tasty.
