I decided to play around with Salsas, primarily looking for something simple yet recognizable. There were certain given items when you look at a recipe like this… but there were a few ingredients that are very important to me… the least of which is GARLIC!
So, here is what I am enjoying as I write this blog:
‘Salsa for Kristin‘
STEP ONE:
the juice of one lime
1 — large white sweet onion
1 — bunch cilantro (no stems)
4 — Chipolte Chilies
1/4 cup Garlic ( or more!)
STEP TWO:
place above mixture in your food processor and reduce to your preferred consistancy
STEP THREE:
move mixture to a large bowl and add:
2 — cans diced tomatoes ( with garlic/bell peppers)
STEP 4:
Season to your taste with the following —
Salt & Pepper
Adobo Sauce (from the can of Chipoltes)
for a even little more zest… add a dash or so of Parika and/or Cayenne Pepper
Next, break out the bag of chips (or make your own which is much better) and a little beer and watch a game!

Karla asked me to post this… and since she is our treasured web site artist… here it is!

We’ve all heard about how opposite personalities attract.. that has not been my experience. The more similar people are… the more attracted they can be to each other.
What has been rather annoying is that my wife of 35 years keeps throwing a Psychology test or two at me with a wry smile… and the results keep coming back concluding that we are very similar…. very disturbingly similar.
Laura’s Latest effort to shake my confidence in my uniqueness in our duo was a little test that measures two seemingly unrelated cognitive perspectives: the EQ (Empathising Quotient) and the SQ (Systematizing Quotient).
So…the results came in as follows: Laura’s EQ was 51 and mine was 59, Laura’s SQ was 97 and mine was 104.
This is very interesting, but a bit scary… I have always thought she knew what I was thinking. Now, I know she knows HOW I think.
Take the test… and see how much you share with others..

For those who have been following this blog, you probably realize that I have lost some weight (90 plus pounds) on Jenny Craig! However, now that we are on “maintenance” ( we’ve reached our goal weight), we tend to let things go one day a week… usually on the weekends.
This gives us a chance to dust off some of our old recipes and experiment with some new ideas… once again, it was time for “Paella” with our own hearty twist!
I have the green handle and the red handle pans from Spain… and I love them all! But the key to any Paella… is how it is receive!
Everyone loved the Paella… so Dad was pleased.
We call our Paella…”El Cid”… because it was born to conquer your heart!

Oh yes, no shells in our Paella!
