Salsa Time!

Easy Salsa Tasty.....

So earlier if you read back I sent out an invite to my neighbor for her to teach me about her salsa so fine…..and now I know.

Here are the images to prove it and truly - I’m not kidding around.

These are the starting ingredients basically - it includes tomatoes from the garden (the little ones pictured in the “pirate” bucket I’m fond of did not get used for this but my neighbor bought some of her own and we used those instead), a green onion picked fresh, more green onion and some fresh cilantro from the local grocery store, some peppers from the garden, a bit of garlic clove cut small, and that is basically it for the veggies (is tomato a veggie or a fruit? - it don’t matter) in this recipe.

This shows everything chopped, quartered, and ready (there was some content not used I threw back in the garden area for the future), salt, vinegar, sugar, and spices per choice - you figure out the amounts relative, but they are displayed in the image above. Oh yeah, don’t forget the lime - fresh limes are preferred but we used some juice I happened to have handy.

And now the final product! I should add some of those jars got vacuum sealed for future consumption! It is really easy - boil some water, put the jars in it (7 minutes or so), let the seal happen on its own accord as the contents decrease in temperature once they are removed form the boiling water assuming you got the proper type of jar and lid.

I want to send out a real high note of appreciation for my neighbor who shared with me her knowledge while we made the salsa in my kitchen - there is practically nothing better than having good neighbors in ones life - maybe only thing better is good friends as well - sometimes you get luck and you get both I reckon.

Lastly, here is a bonus image showing the ongoing work I’m doing next door at our other place - good for me though…..I think I’m over my spell of “cabinet fever”, but there is still work to be done and you can count on me to do what must be done. I’m a hard worker, but let me say upfront I only work with others was are good communicators - I ain’t no 2nd class citizen and that is just common sense.

In the next post I hope to have a ghost pepper to reveal - the flowers are about to emerge.

Crazy effing times we live in just now, but we will get through them together if we work with each other with respect and awareness that we are just a part of the picture and best to have respect for forces we can’t comprehend is what I think is a good way to live ones life. Still - don’t let anybody try to push you around - stand firm on principle is what I think.

Peace,
