oops

So, I just found my password to log in. I haven't posted since May it is now (cough, cough...) September. How long I have known that I did not know my password is a different story. 20 minutes or so, give or take 5 if this is posted before 12:30 est. Bah. I could have written more, certainly more has happened in the last 3 months.

Take this for instance:


Grumpy Jester Salsa
INGREDIENTS
14 Medium bunch Tomatoes or lots of Roma tomatoes (around 20 - 25)

2 Bundles Green Onions

1/2 Bundle Minced Cilantro

1 28oz Can Crushed Tomatoes

4 Serrano Peppers

6 Jalepeno Peppers

3 TBSP Cumin

3 TBSP Oregano

2 - 3 TBSP Chili Powder

5 - 6 Fresh pressed Garlic Cloves

2 Juiced Lemons

1/2 Cup Vinegar

3 Pinches Salt
Makes Approximately 1 gallon (so you’ll need 4 qt jars or 8 pt jars)

Some Hot Finger Chili’s
Habeneros (chocolate ones preferred)


Wash every thing (except the cumin, oregano, chili powder lemons and salt)

Process Tomatoes to texture (chunky or Puree) that you enjoy

Add crushed Tomatoes to processed tomatoes

Add Cumin, Oregano, Chili Powder, Lemon Juice

Slice Onions and add

Mince Cilantro and add

Slice Jalepenos and Serranos, process with some of the tomato mixture and then combine

Peel/press Garlic and add

Add Vinegar and Salt

For Salsa that would make your mama sweat...Add some hot finger chilis (diced & pureed) to the above mixture

For KUNG POW Salsa... (not to be consumed by the young, elderly, feminine or men who cannot drop and do 30 pushups at any given time) Take 1 pint of the finished Salsa and mix in 2 - 3 Habeneros. Puree this and either eat straight (if you need some cleansing or as an act of penance) or add several tablespoons to regular salsa and say along with Stanley Ipkiss "That's a one spicy meat-a ballllll!!"


Best salsa ever. Try it. (the kung pow version can also be used to de-grease engines)
