STACKIN' -N- PACKIN' #FFF

Happy Friday to all my foodie friends, here at #foodfightfriday.

So let's get to it, what do ya say? Ready to make a mess and fling some food around. I have often thought about having an actual food flingin' fight with @thebigsweed, I thought he would look good with a nice fettuccini alfredo on his head, could be a nice lookin wig for him. hehe

So let's talk about my title...it's really very simple. Several years ago our son @ryan313 got us involved with #bitcoin, #altcoins. He also warned us about how bad the banking system was and still is by the way. Better to trust hard physical assets, gold, silver, natural resources, like land, water sources and your own food production. Our son has been predicting the collapse of fiat, the collapse of the whole system actually for quite some time.

So we have been trying to cover all the bases ever since. Hence, we be stackin' the coins. The PACKING part of the title was not so deep, if we be eating those pastries, surely we be packin' on the LBS.

So how's this giant head for some food source!

I think it looks like a huge brain, a little lighter in color, but well convoluted.

The tomatoes are still exploding in the #garden, as well as the cukes. Time to make a nice salad.

With another pile of tomatoes just picked, I thought some homemade salsa was in order. Here's the ingredients: 3 cups of tomatoes diced 1/2 cup red pepper chopped 1 cup of sweet red onion diced 2 tbsps. lime juice squeezed
4 teaspoons fresh jalapeno sliced and diced very small 1/2 teaspoon cumin sprinkled 1/4 cup fresh cilantro Unfortunately, there was no more cilantro left in the garden, I went with dried. I had to look up the conversion of fresh compared to dried. Found out you use 1/2 to 1/3 the amount when going from fresh to dried. Good thing we looked it up, I thought it was just the opposite, I would have blown all the slicing and dicing. Whew, close call.

Lots of chopping and dicing.

Made some fresh pesto also, since I would be serving the salsa with a toasted,with garlic French baguette, a little shmeer of the green stuff can only sweeten the flavor.

While still chopping, slicing and dicing, the seeds from all this beautiful produce would need to be collected for next year. Thinking about starting my own seed bank, gotta look into how to preserve the seeds long term, but that's another day here on the #homestead. As @ryan313 keeps us informed, we continue to BE PREPARED.

We are eating good in the neighborhood.

Cubed up some fresh mango too, boy, nice added sweet taste to top them off.

Many thanks to our special food fighters, @jlsplatts, @idig and @dandays for keeping us coming back for a fun-filled, fight all about #food...and other stuff too!

Happy weekend to all!
