Our house chores are usually divided by outdoor and indoor. Outdoor is Jeff's section and indoor is mine. Although we do try and help out each other for what ever job needs to get done. As for day to day stuff, I cook and he cleans. He vacuums and I mop. We can both say that it's pretty even when it comes to chores. I am getting a little side track because this post is about something sweet and something sour or tart. A few days ago I open a container in the fridge and it had pineapple chunks that Jeff had done. I guess I completely forgot about it and some of the pieces are getting a little brown. So I took out what was bad, place the good ones in a pot and added some sugar, juice, jalapeno, red peppers, cinnamon, olive oil, ginger and finally salt and pepper. The result is what I am calling, Pineapple red pepper chutney. Shortly after I checked the fridge again and found some tomatillos but one was dead. I decided to cut them in half, add a little salt and olive oil and baked at 400 F for a few minutes. Once it was done, I place them in my mini kitchen aid chopper and added jalapeno and a bunch of cilantro. The result is one jar of chili verde sauce for later. Last weekend, we were invited to one of the neighbors home as they had a few people over to begin our summer get together. The host asked if I don't mind making a salad. Of course I quickly checked my Pinterest pins and sure enough I found the Herb Lemon Orzo Spinach Salad. It was very simple, very refreshing (basil and mint) and with a lemon and olive oil dressing.
