I wanted to share with you a recipe I just made.
~Martini de Camaron~
I was reading the section Food in
The San Diego Union-Tribune
and saw this recipe.
It was created by Maria Ines Curiel of
Karina's Mexican Seafood Restaurant.
Here is the recipe.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
With it we had sliced jicama with Tajin seasoning.
Stan made a salad with tomatoes from our garden.
I made a fresh loaf of bread.
Easy summer meal.
I also wanted to share with you some meringue cookies,
I made for a party.
I dipped them in white chocolate,
then added sprinkles.
Here are some recent photos of our garden.

We started them from seed about 3 months ago.
We finally got some blooms, so happy!!

Our pumpkins are taking over our garden this year.
Our finished teak table.
Our teak table was in need of refinishing.
Stan sanded it down and put teak oil on it.
I don't know if you've ever seen a chrysalis for a Monarch butterfly.
We have seen many in our garden this year.
This one was on our barbecue cover.
Amazing!!
What a lovely post! beautiful garden and a fabulous meal from shrimp to meringues! Would love to try that recipe- I admit I don't think I've ever had Jicama!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Online they say, "Jicama looks like a potato, is crispy and juicy like a firm pear, but it tastes sweet and starchy like an apple. It is delicious raw and makes a crunchy, flavorful addition to salads." It is a perfect description of what Jicama is!
DeleteGreat post! All of your treats look delicious! Your flowers are gorgeous and your teak table really looks nice redone.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Everything looks delicious. I am going to make that wonderful dish with the shrimp. thanks so much for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkin plants looks very healthy, mine isn't so great. Do you get more than one pumpkin per plant?
Garden looks so good.
Thanks for the wonderful post and have a sunny week.

Hi Mary, Our pumpkins are doing very well this year. I'm sure with Stan retired they get some extra tender loving care. Yes, we do get more than one pumpkin per plant. The bees in the garden have a lot to do with that. We're lucky! We planted lots of flowers to attract them.
DeleteRoses, Queen Anne's Lace, Borage, Dill, just to name a few. You have a beautiful garden too, Mary. Have a wonderful week enjoying your garden ♥
