salsa

The tomatos have been coming in pretty regular now, so last night I whipped up a batch of salsa. Ma found out and took the bowl down with a bag of chips to watch the tube. She took a beer too. I grabbed a pop and was part way down the stairs when she told me to grab her another beer. Like what….two beers in three minutes? Apparently I made the stuff a mite warm for her. The fire in her eyes spoke very clearly that I has messed up.

So now the small potatos are out of the way, I can go to the tube tonight and enjoy the rest of my very fresh, very tasty first batch of salsa without having to pass the salsa bowl every two minutes. She’s got he jar of store bought wuss stuff in her hand right now. Maybe I can get the recliner.

Doesn’t get much better than homemade salsa and gauc. Wish my FW would ask for more beer lately maybe she would lighten up a bit.

It was maybe just a hint hottish. Good stuff though. 1st of the season salsa is always the best for some reason, especially when it all comes right from the garden in the yard.

I ran out of time to make some yesterday, but all the goods are ripe, so I plan on making a batch this evening.

How about some recipes?

FRESH SALSA
3 ½ -4 cups Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
½ large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 jalapenos to taste, seeded and chopped (for more heat, leave the seeds in)
½ green pepper, finely chopped
1 TBSP. dried coriander, crushed
½ tsp. salt
1 TBSP. red wine vinegar
2 TBSP. fresh cilantro

Combine all ingredients and chill for at least several hours. I generally leave the seeds in my jalapenos and sometimes add a cayenne or two, but my wife can’t take the heat!

The FW made a batch last night, and I ate about half with chips and the other half with a spoon!
