I do have a great laugh at what some of the months are known
for. Here’s one that will make you
smile. August is known for ‘Sneak some
Zucchini onto Your National Goat Cheese Month, and National Mustard Day which
is August 2. National Chocolate Chip Day
is August 4 and International Beer Day is August 1. August is also known as Orange and Papaya Month. Let’s do something with an orange. Salsa can
be used with most meats—chicken, pork, and fish.
Orange Salsa
4 oranges, peeled, sectioned and cut in pieces
2 juice of limes
½ bunch of cilantro, chopped fine
2 red bell peppers, quartered, finely chopped
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup pine nuts
Mix all ingredients together.
Put in refrigerator for several hours.
Serves 4-6
Here is something using Papaya.
