In anticipation of a warm and humid day, it seemed like everyone was out early to shop at the Santa Barbara Farmers Market.  We were delighted to see tomatillos (pictured above), as it is a great addition to guacamole!

Pomegranates are ripe and ready.  They are beautiful and tasty, and we love them in salads.  

Wishing you lots of Saturday Smiles,

I'm glad to see pomagranates coming into harvest.  I love 'em.  I can also picture those tomatillos makings some wonderful green chili sauce.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - As soon as I get Microsof Office loaded on this new computer, and can access my recipe documents, I'll send it your way.  I have a good one.

However, in the meantime, I do have a recipe for Chicken Pasta Salad that uses Tomatillos that you might like.  It can be accessed via: http://www.myrljeffcoat.com/recipes/chicken_pasta_salad.htm

Pomegranetes and tomatilloes - I bet that there is a wonderful recipe that uses both but either way, they would look beautiful in a bowl on your countertop.  I think that Lottie Kendall must have a wonderful recipe!

Stefan Winter the best part about living in Southern Cal is that it is year round.  Here in Santa Barbara, we have it 6 days a week, in different areas of the city.  A

Joanna Cohlan I love pomagranates.  In Lebanon, babba ghanoush is served with a topping of pomegranate seeds, and one can do the same with hummus, which is why I have them in the refrigerator today.  A

Endre Barath, Jr. One of the Mexican restaurants chefs somewhere in our travels recommended making guacamole that way along with some finely diced onions.  It is really good that way...I do add tomatoes for color, small san marzano ones that TJ's carries.  By the way, if your TJ's has Joel Gott Cabernet, it is really good and balanced.  A

Ron and Alexandra - I am not sure I have ever had a tomatillo, but I love guacamole.

Our next door neighbor has a pomegranate tree, and he doesn't even like them, so we can eat them any time we like.
