I may not be overly adventurous but it sure is nice to have fresh fruit and cheese around for snacking. I only recently used tomatillos to make salsa and will be sharing that recipe in a couple of weeks. My recipe is far simpler and I cannot wait to give yours a try. It sounds quite flavorful.ChgoJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203651134799947744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-47617402575079186922016-10-14T06:59:46.213-04:002016-10-14T06:59:46.213-04:00When we were staying in NY a few years ago I did e...When we were staying in NY a few years ago I did exactly the same thing.

I do love a good fish and chips and though this is very different, I think I would have no problem eating this up. <br />It was absolutely wonderful seeing you on Thursday. It wasn't enough time because I didn't get to tell you everything I wanted to! Even though we talked for 5 hours straight, it still wasn't enough. <br />Come back and visit soon. I guess in the meantime, we can call each other.<br />Nazneen xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426195031976841103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-52295561964371554782016-10-08T19:28:26.821-04:002016-10-08T19:28:26.821-04:00What a fab way to serve 'fish and chips', ...What a fab way to serve 'fish and chips', David.
