Sour Cream

Summer is the season of the tomato and I am a tomato-aholic! I can eat fresh tomato salsa by the pound (ask the boyfriend, he's seen me do it). Today's recipe hilights one of my favorite tomato types: the Tomatillo!

Next week we'll air episode 20 and we'll be solidly into our post-adolescence. 20 episodes, nearly 5 months old. That makes us 35 months old in dog years. If we were a dog, we'd be nearly 3, no longer a puppy. What are we talking about again?
