My New Skill- Homemade Salsa!


8 OF THESE +


LOTS OF PEPPERS, ONIONS, & CILANTRO =



THIS YUMMY STUFF x OH, 4 OR SO....&




PUT INTO THESE, WHICH I ACTUALLY HAD TO COOK TO DO...
and didn't particularly like canning...too much time! Sooooo....
we gave some away, ate a lot of it, and now the last batch of the season I have made
is going to be frozen! I tried roasting the tomatoes, which did give it a little bit of a smokey flavor, but I don't think it was worth double the time it took me..or maybe I was doing it wrong. either way I think my salsa is super tasty. Maybe not as par with some of you slasa kings(you know who you are) but I do like it better than most Mexican restaurants! So I think I will just stick to throwing everything in my new food processor(WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!) why did I wait so long to get one? It goes along with all the other great inventions, washer & dryer, hand held vacuum, spray mop...you know...the neccessities that make life seem like a breeze..sometimes! This is one of the BIG projects I have been working on, oh, the last 3 months! We had an OVERLOAD of tomatoes this year! I actually had to give about 5 big bowls worth away because I am not a canner and don't use "canned" tomatoes very often. but making it with a food processor makes it much funner and faster! Homemade salsa always tastes better with garden fresh produce!!!! Wish I could share with you all. Just come for a visit and I'll whip you up some.

I love all the new posts. It's so fun having a new car! The Pilot seems to be a very popular choice these days. It's a great car!!! I bet you are going to LOVE it! I think it is one of Honda's best cars. The DVD definitely helps with long car trips. The kids are finally accepting that that is the only time I actually let them watch anything on it. I just worry that if I let them watch videos all the time in the car, then when I actually need it to keep them busy during a long road trip it won't. They seem to be understanding. Your salsa looks fabulous! We definitely plan on coming to visit you guys, so I hope you will make it for us! Your backyard looks beautiful! I'm glad you got to put in so much grass. I bet Delia loves being able to play outside. Oh, and your furniture is great too! Looks like you guys are getting everything together in your place. I'm glad the move has been so great for you.
Anyway, I loved reading all the posts. I just did the same with my blog. I added 3 or 4 posts with overdue videos just before I checked your blog. It's so easy to get behind!
