Tomatillo sauce

The full recipe comes from Mario Batali (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2007/09/unclogged-mario-batali-recipe-chicken-with-green-sauce.html), but I was just trying to do something with some old tomatillos.

Here's what I did:
2 handfuls of tomatillos
2 garlic cloves
handful of cilantro
red pepper flakes
a few squirts of lime juice
salt

I was making pasta at the time, so I dropped the tomatillos and garlic in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then threw everything in a blender.

Not bad on pasta. The next night I used the leftover sauce for skinless chicken thighs. Simmered for 25 minutes. Flipped once at 15 mins. Awesome and easy!

You gotta start somewhere

Tasha and I have been talking about putting a recipe book together for a few months now. It would consolidate all the recipes we enjoy so we would have a GOTO resource instead of digging through cookbooks or searching the web.

This is not it. In fact, this is a response to our lack of action in putting together a recipe book. I think this should be more than a recipe book. It can include restaurant reviews listing favorite and not so favorite dishes. Or even an ode to some prepared food at Trader Joes.

One thing it will definitely be about is food.
