Happy Gardening

A newsletter for Wiregrass Gardeners and their Gardens

Greetings!

If you don’t read any of this, read the last part about our great Mother’s Day Event this Thursday.

Well, here we are . . . coming up on my favorite day of the year! And I’m not talking about National No Diet Day (which I celebrate nearly every weekend).

I’m talking about Mother’s Day. It’s time to tell your mom thank you for, first of all, being here! She played a big part in that. I know it’s been a long time, but thank her for changing the dirty diapers, holding you when you were scared, making the world’s best PBJ sandwich for lunch every day, trying her best not to embarrass you when you were a teenager, and just all around being awesome!

I know I never tell my mom or my wife how wonderful they are at doing a job I never could or would even try do. I’m not just saying that either. I’ve “dabbled” in taking care of my boys for 24 hour periods of time without my wife. Their full days of going to the park, playing baseball with mom, eating healthy food, reading books, and basically being productive turn into eating pizza on the couch and watching River Monsters all day when I take care of them.

So, Mindy, Rhorho, and all the other moms . . . thank you for being the most perfectest moms ever!

And to show our thanks we are going to have a party this Thursday from 4:00 – 7:00! We’re calling it the Dothan Nurseries Mother’s Day Food Fest. Here is what you’ll get if you attend:
20% off any one item you want from Dothan Nurseries. A beautiful hydrangea, rose, fountain, wind chime, bird bath, your choice. Whatever you think mom will like!
Our full Farmers Market, all the vendors with anything fresh, local, and yummy. They’ll have samples too. www.marketatdothan.locallygrown.net/market/index/62630
Dothan’s own Play For Funsies laying down the jams (that mean’s playing fun music like bluegrass and jazz)
If you don’t fill up on samples from local restaurants and the Farmers Market vendors, we will have plenty of hors d’oeuvres to choose from.
Finally, we are giving away three $100 gift certificates. You just have to show up and put your name in the box.
See you Thursday!

Happy Gardening,

JD Boone

Farm to Table Recipes

Cinco de Mayo Chipotle Burger

www.simplyrecipes.com
Servings: 4
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Category: Meat
Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1/3 cup onion, grated
  2-4 chipotle peppers , depending on how much chile heat you like, minced, plus 1 Tbsp of the adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
  6 hamburger buns
  6 slices jack cheese
  2 avocados, sliced
  Chipotle hot sauce to taste
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish
  2 poblano chile peppers, roasted, seeded, peeled and sliced *
  Notes / Directions
  1. Form 4-6 patties from the burger mix, about 1/4 pound to 1/3 pound each. Tip: form the patties with a little indentation in the center and as they cook the patties won’t bulge as much in the center.

2. Grill the burgers over medium-high heat (with the grill lid down) until done, about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on how hot your grill is. Cook until the internal temperature is 140°F for medium rare, or 160°F for well done. When the burgers are almost ready, place a slice of jack cheese on each patty and close the grill lid. The cheese should melt in a little over a minute.

3. If you want toasted burger buns with your burgers, toast them after you’ve flipped the burgers. Watch that the buns don’t burn; when they are lightly toasted move them to a tray near the grill. When the burgers are ready, place them on the buns. Top with slices of avocado, then some of the roasted poblanos (if using) a little cilantro and hot sauce.
