Chicken in Green Sauce

This is an old favourite recipe using green tomatoes, end of summer autumn recipe! It is delicious, and easy to prepare!

Chicken in Green Sauce

3-lbs. boneless chicken breasts (or whole chicken cut up into serving pieces)
1 small onion, quartered
1 tsp. salt, or to taste
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sliced green tops from onions
1 large green tomato, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tsp. flour
1 tsp. hot green chile slices or to taste

1. Cook the chicken, onion, and salt in 1-cup water in a saucepan over moderate heat for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, process the green onions, tomatoes, garlic, flour and chile into a smooth paste with 1/2-cup water.
3. Add the green sauce to the chicken and continue to cook over moderate to low heat for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Serve warm with Old – Style Potatoes.

I Finished Weaving a Rug Today

I had the textile for this rug cut waiting on my loom room floor for almost a month, I finally get back to it yesterday. Funny how I now love superwash merino wool sweaters, after my strong dislike of them for so many years. I love the way the textile curls up like a t-shirt when it is cut in strips.
I love the dark muted colours in this rug, the earthy browns and greens.

Thanksgiving Snow

My raven friends were hungry on Sunday after our little snow fall. Raven etiquette, the male always eats first, and the female gets what ever is leftover. If he eats everything, which he usually does I will sneak out and give her a little more of our dogs kibble. Just feeding the birds...

Love Heart

Mark spent the afternoon digging
potatoes in the garden.
He came to the door with his hand
behind his back
and told me to hold out my hand.
I know it is a potato
but it did have some "aw" factor to it.
A potato heart!
