To the left, why the gophers are proliferating.
Otis with his feral brother playing wrestle.. Too much fooling around and not enough hunting in my humble opinion.
Not 2 feet from here is a sleek, fat gopher, snacking on green beans and watermelon! There is absolutely nothing worse than picking up a watermelon and finding a gopher in it.
Cantaloupe and Avocado Salad
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon plus
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1 cantaloupe cut, peeled and seeded
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and skinned
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, oil, and salt; set aside. Cut each cantaloupe quarter in half lengthwise. Run a knife between the flesh and the skin of the melon; discard skin. Slice each wedge lengthwise into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut each avocado half again length-wise and then into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Add cantaloupe, avocado, and grape tomatoes to bowl with dressing and toss to coat.
Melon Sals
a 3 tomatoes, diced
1/2 honeydew melon, peeled and diced
1 cantaloupe, peeled and diced
1 cup chopped red onion
1 ancho, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
In a large serving bowl, stir together the tomatoes, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, red onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Stir in the salt and lime juice. Refrigerate for a bit before serving, if you can wait. Also good on fish and chicken. If it's not hot enough, throw in a little hot sauce.
