I think I'll have to plan better, since this is a stellar idea while its winter and herbs are rare. I just have to say, that cow is adorable :-)

I'm thinking that next time, I'd make some polenta, pan fry that, and drizzle the salsa over it--same flavor, less time consuming. To make the cilantro ice cubes, we picked the cilantro leaves and put them in the food processor with enough water to make them, ummm, process. We poured that thick, liquidy mixture into ice cube trays. We do the same with basil. I seems to me that you can do this with a number of herbs. Hi Jen,

That salsa verde sounds and looks amazing. I love salsa verde - well most Mexican food really. I like the idea of the cilantro ice cubes. Do you just put some chopped cilantro in and top it with water? What a great idea! I love that you made your own corn chips – how industrious! That salsa verde sounds and looks amazing.
