Spicy Saturday

Posted on November 4, 2006 by Gene

Here’s what I did today:

I wouldn’t say that I actually cooked anything since there was no real heat involved; but there was plenty of slicing and chopping and food processing and tasting. Surprisingly, my homemade salsa isn’t too bad — although it is just a first attempt, and I’m sure I’ll be coming up with many more recipes and formulas until I hit the right one.

Sadly, it is so much more expensive to make salsa from scratch — especially since I bought local produce to make it. One jar of salsa is, what, $2 or so? Meanwhile, I got cilantro and tomatoes and peppers and onions and garlic and… well, it was more than $2. But it killed a few hours this morning, and that’s priceless.
